Congratulations to Chuck Dixon, Steve Epting and Frank D’Armeta! El Cazador #1 is sold out, despite being overprinted and in addition to the 25% extra copies that retailers got (when they hit their incentive level)!

That’s astounding, and proof that an audience exists for straightforward genre comics devoid of superheroes and sigil-bearers.

Now, is that enough to convince CrossGen to give Chuck Dixon a cowboy series?

FOLLOW-UP: I asked Chuck if this meant orders were low (one of those tricks for claiming to be sold out) or if it meant big numbers. He replied:

It means big numbers. In one day we became CG’s biggest commercial hit. I gotta thank Steve and Frank and especially Bill Rosemann who really SOLD this puppy.
