Today Skybound and Image Comics announced that the all-new comic book series debut Ghost Pepper #1, from rising star creator and comics multihyphenate Ludo Lullabi, has sold out at the distributor level and will return with a new printing.
The second printing features an all-new cover by Ludo Lullabi, as well as a foil version of Stanley “Artgerm” Lau’s Ghost Pepper #1 cover and will be available at comic shops on August 27, 2025.
Ghost Pepper is the brainchild of Ludo Lullabi, whose credits include TRANSFORMERS and Joe Madureira’s cult-favorite Battle Chasers, and is a perfect showcase of his electrifying work as writer, artist, and letterer here. Joined by colorist Adriano Lucas (Destro, Dark Ride), Lullabi helms a high-octane action series about forgotten heroes, cutthroat food trucks, and saving the world…again.
“A second printing? Seriously? I’m still in shock” – Ludo Lullabi
“The response to the first issue has gone far beyond anything I could’ve hoped for. Seeing readers connect with Loloi, Ash, and dive into this spicy, intense, and full-of-surprises universe means the world to me. Huge thanks to Skybound and Image Comics for trusting me to tell this story, to Ben, Adriano, and all the amazing artists who created such incredible covers. And most of all…thank you, the readers, for jumping into this adventure with us. It’s because of you that Ghost Pepper is a success—and that we’re heading into a second printing. Thank you for all the love, the heat…and the spicy fan art! I can’t wait for you to taste what’s next.”
“A quick sell-out on this epic first issue speaks volumes of the wonderful world that Ludo Lullabi has created,” noted Executive Editor Ben Abernathy. “Thank you to the all the fans and retailers who have embraced this series!”
Humanity survived a monstrous extinction-level threat, but the world isn’t better for everyone. Every day Loloi hits the road to deliver her delicious cooking to the masses, outsmarting her treacherous competition and staying one step ahead of the massive robots “protecting” them all. But everything changes when she serves a mysterious warrior named Ash, whose secrets might just save the world…if his superhuman strength doesn’t destroy it first.
