If you missed collecting “Farscape” on DVD during its initial release, we have good news for you. The long out-of-print series is coming back to DVD this November.
The set will be launched at a panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con and is being picked up by A&E Home Video. The set will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show.
When a freak accident during an experimental space mission catapulted Astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) across a thousand galaxies to an alien battlefield, a cult classic was born with the epic, adventure-filled TV series Farscape. The award-winning fan favorite show, which ran from 1999-2003 on Sci Fi and was named by TV Guide as one of television’s best cult shows ever, is about to blast off again on DVD courtesy of a pact between A&E Home Entertainment and The Jim Henson Company.

"Farscape" #1 Goes Back to Press for a Third Printing
Official Press Release
Just in time for the 10th anniversary of FARSCAPE, BOOM! Studios announced today a third printing of the FARSCAPE #1 comic book.
“We were blown away by the reaction to the first printing of FARSCAPE #1,” said Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid. “So when we went to a second print, we were pretty darn happy. We cannot believe that we have sold completely out of all of that now!”
“Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher and I couldn’t believe our eyes,” said BOOM! co-founder Ross Richie. “It’s clear that the FARSCAPE fans have spoken, and the Direct Market retailers have listened!”
Diamond Comics Distributors will make the third printing of FARSCAPE #1 available on April 8th. At that time the third printing’s code will open for orders, and a Diamond Daily article will also run alerting retailers to its availability. The third printing of FARSCAPE #1 has an expected in-store date of April 29th.
The first printing of FARSCAPE #1 was released on Christmas Eve 2008 and sold out in a record five days. The fourth and final issue of the miniseries will be appearing on stands very soon.
The FARSCAPE comic series is written by FARSCAPE television series creator Rockne S. O’Bannon with script by Keith R.A. DeCandido, interior art by Tommy Patterson and cover art by fan-favorites Dennis Calero and Joseph Corroney.
Picking up directly where the television miniseries FARSCAPE: THE PEACEKEEPER WARS left off, fans can look forward to show creator O’Bannon steering their favorite characters into new and original stories, keeping with the existing canon - and then extending it!
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.
