Well I've finally managed to sort out getting
Missing : Have You Seen The Invisible Man ? in the latest issue of
Previews, which is the catalgue that goes out to all comic retailers so that they can decide what their respective stores will stock.
You're probably thinking that this should have been sorted out a while ago, as the comic has been on sale at a number of Cons already, and you'd be right. It's just that with all the Cons and life in general, sometimes important things just never get to the top of the To Do list.
Still, it's finally been sorted.
and page 240 has it in all its glory. Yes, I know I name dropped the
Eagle Award that
Marleen Lowe and I won for
Whatever Happened To The World's Fastest Man ? but us Independent comic creators need all the nudges we can drag up if we're going to look interesting to the Comic Shop Guys out there.
I still get complaints from customers that our books never appear in their local stores, we used to send out a free copy to stores across the globe in the hope that they'd order some through
Previews but it costs a lot of cash, and I'm not sure if it was very effective.
The problem is that the retailers have to spread their cash across a whole heap of
Marvel and
DC Event Books as well as the usual number of X and Bat books ... so it's no wonder that they buy one or two copies of our books at most. And when they've sold them, that's it. There's no re-order or re-stock.
So, if you want to get your local store to have a copy for you then you really need to go and ask them to get you one.. and do it before they put their
Diamond Previews order in. Which means over the next week or two. All the details you need can be seen in the above scan.. the
Order Number is
STK623409...
I hope you do, and I hope you enjoy the read.
