    SDCC’09: Rockne S. O’Bannon signes Boom! exclusive

    Press ReleaseBy Press ReleaseJuly 16, 20091 Comment4 Mins Read

    Press Release

    FARSCAPE creator Rockne S. O’Bannon will be signing a one of a kind collector’s “Scorpius Edition” of the FARSCAPE Vol. 1 Hardcover that is exclusive to Comic-Con 2009 attendees. This exclusive hardcover edition will be limited to 500 copies and is priced at $50. This exclusive will only be available at the BOOM! Studios Booth (#2543) —where you can find Rockne S. O’Bannon signing Friday at 2pm and Saturday at 3:45pm!

    O’Bannon will be joined with FARSCAPE comics scribe Keith R.A. DeCandido — who will be at the BOOM! Studios booth all week during Comic-Con signing a limited supply of single issues of the multiple sell-out, critically acclaimed mini-series FARSCAPE, FARSCAPE: STRANGE DETRACTORS, and FARSCAPE: D’ARGO’S LAMENT. DeCandido will also be available to sign during O’Bannon’s scheduled signing times.

    Rockne S. O’Bannon will also be appearing as part of the FARSCAPE 10th Anniversary Panel during Comic-Con ’09 on Friday, July 24th at 10:15am in Room 6BCF with FARSCAPE television show stars Ben Browder (John Crichton), Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun) and executive producer/director Brian Henson. DeCandido will be moderating the 10th Anniversary Panel which helps celebrate the re-release of the critically acclaimed TV show to DVD this coming November.

    In addition, O’Bannon and DeCandido will appear on Saturday, July 25th at 2:30pm for the BOOM! Studios FARSCAPE Comics Panel in Room 10 to talk about the smash hit comic series of 2009 with FARSCAPE comics editor Ian Brill.

    Following both panels, O’Bannon and DeCandido will appear together at the BOOM! Studios booth (#2543) to sign the Exclusive Comic-Con ’09 FARSCAPE Vol. 1 “Scorpius Edition” Hardcover. Keith R.A. DeCandido will be appearing at the BOOM! Studios booth throughout the show.

    While 2009 sees the 10th Anniversary of the celebrated sci-fi action series; this year has also seen a resurgence of the FARSCAPE franchise in comic book form from Top Ten comic book publisher BOOM! Studios.

    Premiering with a four-issue FARSCAPE series in December of 2008, the FARSCAPE comic book took fans by storm as the series saw unanimous critical acclaim and multiple sell-outs and reprints. The initial FARSCAPE comic series was quickly followed up by FARSCAPE: STRANGE DETRACTORS, FARSCAPE: D’ARGO’S LAMENT and the forthcoming FARSCAPE: D’ARGO’S TRIAL.

    The initial FARSCAPE four issue series and FARSCAPE: STRANGE DETRACTORS picks up directly where the television miniseries FARSCAPE: THE PEACEKEEPER WARS left off. Fans everywhere have enjoyed show creator O’Bannon steering their favorite characters into new and original stories, keeping with the existing canon — and extending it! Using O’Bannon’s unique vision and richly detailed story, DeCandido has worked with BOOM! Studios and The Jim Henson Company to bring fans the best comic this or any universe has ever seen!

    Under the watchful eye of O’Bannon, DeCandido has brought two all new D’Argo stories — completely told in series continuity — with the smash hit mini-series FARSCAPE: D’ARGO’S LAMENT and the soon-to-be-released FARSCAPE: D’ARGO’S TRIAL.

    Debuting on the SCI-FI Channel in 1998, FARSCAPE follows the adventures of astronaut John Crichton, who has a freak accident during an experimental space mission that catapults him across a thousand galaxies to an alien battlefield. Suddenly, he’s trapped among alien creatures wielding deadly technology – a battle that 20th century sci-fi pop culture never prepared him for. Hunted by a merciless military race, Crichton begins his quest for home from a distant galaxy.

    A groundbreaking award-winning sci-fi production, FARSCAPE from The Jim Henson Company and [HALLMARK] has become a global favorite. Named by TV Guide as one of television’s “Best Cult Shows Ever” and most recently named by EMPIRE Magazine as one of the “50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time,” FARSCAPE is known for the overwhelming fan-based campaign that led to its miniseries production. The show has continued to find new audiences as it airs in syndication and is available on iTunes and DVD.

      The headline reads like O’Bannon is signing an exclusive deal with BOOM! and not just, y’know, signing some books.
