In order to meet the overwhelming demand from retailers and fans, BOOM! Studios have fast-trackedFOLKLORDS #1 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT to arrive in comic shops on November 27, 2019. This second printing will feature an all-new cover by artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest). Quantities will be limited and allocations may occur.
In a world of magic and monsters, Ansel is an outsider haunted by visions of well-pressed suits and modern technology. When it comes time for him to declare his Quest on his 18th birthday, Ansel decides to seek out a legend that is only spoken in hushed whispers—the Folklords—hoping they can explain his visions…but looking for the Folklords is expressly forbidden, and going on a rogue quest is punishable by death. What will Ansel risk to find answers to the questions and visions that have set him apart his entire life?
“The overwhelming early support FOLKLORDS has received from retailers has been an absolute joy to experience,” said Eric Harburn, Senior Editor. “Matts Kindt & Smith, along with Chris and Jim, have built a world and story that we believe will truly resonate with readers, and with this expedited second printing, featuring a beautiful new cover by Jorge Corona, everyone will get a chance to join in on Ansel’s epic adventure from the very beginning.”
