The following newsletter is going out this weekend. I’ll be totally absorbed in preparing for Comic-Con and exhibiting at the show from now until I return on July 26. All book orders will be on hold until then and email replies will be sparse for the week. I look forward to seeing those that can attend the show.
I’ll have new blog entries with pictures later this month. I’ll have a lot to share about the show as well as many new exciting topics to unveil. For now, enjoy the new updates to the website like the details for the Bruce Timm and Craig Elliott books as well as the Terry Dodson interview in a recent blog posting.

Enjoy,
