The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre #1 Gets a Second Printing

It happened. You were warned. Mad Cave Studios has announced The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre #1 has sold out at distribution, following its explosive debut! 

The four-issue absurdist action-comedy comes from writer Fred Kennedy, with art, colors, and letters by James Edward Clark, an original variant cover B by Italian comics superstar Mirka Andolfo, and the latest printing featuring an all-new cover by Eisner, GLAAD, and Russ Manning-nominated artist, Marguerite Sauvage!

From day one, the series leaned fully into slapstick carnage, anti-drug satire, and unapologetic absurdity, and retailers showed up ready for the ride! It’s a love letter to ’80s paranoia, grindhouse energy, and D.A.R.E. assemblies gone feral. 

Disco Hippo Wonderland is the number one amusement park in Flamingo City. But few realize its corpulent owner, Jans M’jor Discau, is about to release the most potent drug ever created: Coke45! Fortunately for humanity, Agent Clarke Nebraska is on the case! She’ll bring down Discau come heck or high water! That was the plan, until her undercover agent, Tico Senecoza, was captured! And before she can rescue him, Miquel—Tico’s sexy loose cannon of an older brother beats her to the punch, storming into the park with bullets flying. Discau panics, dumping the Coke45 into the hippo enclosure and letting them loose on the park, before fleeing into Wonderland’s tunnel network! Nebraska’s plans are totally off the rails, and things get worse when a marijuana smoke-fueled hurricane drowns the park in torrential rain! Now it’s up to Nebraska and Miquel to create an uncomfortable truce to bring Discau down before he escapes!

The second printing of The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre #1 will be available on March 25, 2026with FOC March 2, alongside issue #2
