SOMNA Hardcover Edition Sells Out Before Release, Second Printing Available

LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK, NY – July 17, 2024 –  DSTLRY, the next-generation comics publisher redefining creator-owned comic books and digital collectibles, is thrilled to announce that the collected hardcover edition of SOMNA, by Eisner Award-winning creators Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay, has completely sold out before its official release date. The unprecedented demand has necessitated an immediate second printing, which is now available at distribution to meet the overwhelming interest from fans and retailers alike.

Fans will be able to easily distinguish between the first and second printings of the mass market edition, as the dots on the spine are white on the first printing and black on the second.

"Interest in SOMNA has exceeded all our expectations," said DSTLRY co-founders David Steinberger and Chip Mosher. "We're incredibly grateful to the fans for their enthusiastic support and to Becky and Tula for creating such a captivating and unique series. We are working diligently to ensure the second printing reaches stores as quickly as possible."

Set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village, SOMNA follows one woman's descent into an erotic escape from the confines of her puritanical world. From the masterful minds of Becky Cloonan (BY CHANCE OR PROVIDENCE, Wonder Woman) and Tula Lotay (BARNSTORMERS) comes an intoxicating blend of history, eroticism, and the supernatural in SOMNA—an evocative masterpiece that draws inspiration from cinematic folk-horror gems like Midsommar and The Witch—and will transport readers to a world where passion and spirits intertwine, enrapturing your senses and leaving you craving more.

The Mass Market Hardcover, priced at $30, contains the entire hit three-issue series.
