When Farscape first premiered on March 19, 1999 on Sci-Fi Channel’s SciFi Friday, it was a hit. A veritable hit, you might say. The sci-fi space opera series earned numerous awards throughout its lifetime, including no less than three Saturn Awards for Best Syndicated/Cable TV Series and one Best TV Actor (Browder). It even breached the boundaries of its own series to receive a homage to it in Stargate SG-1: another award-winning sci-fi series. That’s how good it is.
Its fame was such that it became a cult classic that persists to this very day. Thus, you can fully understand why everyone would be so excited that BOOM! Studios is doing a Farscape comic book special. All for its 25th anniversary to boot.
