Twenty-five years ago the space opera Farscape kicked multiple sci-fi tropes to the curb and told a story like we hadn’t seen before. The Jim Henson Company and BOOM! studios have teamed up for a comic book special and a two-volume book set to celebrate the anniversary.
You can reserve your copy now, in either softcover or hardcover for the book editions.
Here’s what BOOM! has to say about the campaign:
BOOM! Direct Reserve campaign will feature a campaign exclusive cover for the upcoming Farscape 25th Anniversary Special #1 by red hot illustrator Nimit Malavia (Fables, Firefly, The Dark Tower) featuring brand new adventures set in the universe of Farscape by iconic creators such as Sam Humphries, Francesco Mortarino, Sarah Gailey, abd Zac Thompson, the first new Farscape stories published in over a decade! Also available will be a campaign exclusive cover for Farscape #1 Archive Edition also by Malavia – reprinting of the very first Farscape comic published by BOOM! Studios!
“Farscape was a high concept, cult classic sci-fi epic far ahead of its time. Twenty-five years later, it is still captivating the imaginations of fans new and old. Bringing back our out-of-print comics was an easy decision for the milestone anniversary,” said President of Publishing and Marketing, Filip Sablik. “And of course, if we’re bringing back our classic Farscape comics, it made sense to tell brand new short stories in the new Anniversary Special. There is something in this campaign for every Farscape fan and we are thrilled to be the ones bringing these stories to fans everywhere.”
The celebration will continue to March 21, with special surprises, product reveals, and hidden stretch goals to be announced all month long.
