The new issue of the Previews catalog is out this week, and for those of you stopping by after picking up the latest issue of Previews this week, our Previews Supplement section has been updated with pointers and information covering all the comics Avatar Press is soliciting for release in October, including Joe Lansdale's The Drive-In, Alan Moore's Yuggoth Cultures, Frank Miller's Robocop, Hellina vs Pandora, and more. The Previews Supplement is your one-stop source for Avatar Press comics solicited for release in October 2003. You can find Avatar Press items on pages 251-255 of Previews this month.
Not sure what this Previews stuff is all about? We talked a bit here about Previews and the importance of pre-ordering or otherwise letting your retailer know what independent comics you want to read.
Some important info about getting Avatar Press comics from your local shop: For those of you placing preorders at your local comic shop, the official due date for ordering from this month's Previews is August 16. This date may differ for you local shop, so inquire locally to be sure about when orders are due. Of course, many local stores will make an effort to get order these books for you at any time before or after any official due date, so it never hurts to ask about the availability of any Avatar Press comic book at any time. This is also not to say that these book will only be available to you locally via preorder, we hope retailers order extra copies for their shelves, but it is often difficult for them to know how to gauge demand for a given series, so you can't always count enough extra copies being available in your local area. That's why getting as many people as possible to let their local retailer know that they these books is so extremely important.
