Orphan Black is a limited series of comic books based on the television series Orphan Black. The series is written by show creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson, with Jody Houser serving as co-writer; Szymon Kudranski provides the artwork for issues #1 and #2, while Cat Staggs and Alan Quah shared art duties for issues #3-#5.[1][2] The comic books are part of a limited series consisting of five issues, each focusing on the past and present life of a different clone.[1][3]
There were four series of 'Orphan Black' comics planned. The first issue of the series was released on February 25, 2015.[1][2][4] A new issue was released monthly until July 2015, when the final of the five contracted issues was released.[1] The issues of the first series in order feature Sarah, Helena, Alison, Cosima and Rachel. The fourth and final series was cancelled before its release, but the first issue had already been printed and delivered to some comic shops.
