LOS ANGELES, CA / NEW YORK, NY — August 25, 2025 — What if George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino f@#&ed and had a baby? That baby would be DSTLRY’s GALACTIC, the bold new sci-fi romance from Curt Pires (Lost Fantasy, Indigo Children) and Amilcar Pinna (All-New Ultimates, Gen X), whose debut arrives in comic shops on November 26th, 2025 with Final Order Cutoff on October 6th, 2025 via PRH.

Adding to the excitement, DSTLRY is revealing two new covers. Series artist Amilcar Pinna has revealed a brand-new homage cover, reimagining a galaxy far, far away through the lens of GALACTIC’s widescreen, cosmic storytelling. Tula Lotay, 2025 Best Cover Artist Eisner Award Winner, has also revealed a spicy new cover X variation of her B cover. These open-order variants join other covers from such talent as James Stokoe, Sara Pichelli, and Dalton Rose.

Galactic #1 X Cover by Tula Lotay

GALACTIC is a hyper-kinetic blend of syncopated, blockbuster action and interstellar escapism, following a roguish bounty hunter tasked with retrieving a runaway princess on a psychedelic death-bender. What starts as a straightforward job erupts into a high-stakes collision with intergalactic war—and a messy, unexpected romance. Along for the ride: a starship piloted by a talking dog named Wolf.

“GALACTIC blends the gritty lovers-on-the-run crime of True Romance with the lush sci-fi worldbuilding of Star Wars and The Incal,” says writer and co-creator Curt Pires. “It’s exactly the kind of boundary-breaking work I’m thrilled to create at DSTLRY.”

“On scope alone, this is one of the biggest projects I’ve ever illustrated,” adds Pinna. “From massive spreads of space fleets and black holes to intimate, explosive moments of romance and violence, GALACTIC is science fiction at its most dynamic.”

“GALACTIC is what DSTLRY is all about,” says DSTLRY CCO & Co-Founder Chip Mosher. “It’s fearless, fun, and exactly the kind of audacious storytelling we’re built to deliver.”

“Curt and Amilcar have built something equal parts explosive and heartfelt,” adds DSTLRY Co-Founder & CEO David Steinberger. “This is widescreen, creator-owned comics at their finest.”

GALACTIC #1 hits shelves on November 26, 2025. Retailers must place final orders by October 6, 2025.

Each issue of GALACTIC is presented in DSTLRY’s perfect-bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock. “It’s the DSTLRY difference,” says DSTLRY CCO & Co-Founder Chip Mosher.
