Psst! Wanna buy a comic?

I've gotten word from Scott McCullar that Shooting Star Comics Anthology no. 5 is now at the printer. This is good news, indeed. I've been slipping into that kind of paranoia mode where I expect a meteor to crash out of the sky and destroy the proofs any moment now, but by reaching the printing stage, well, I'm breathing a little sigh of relief. This issue features Dracosaur, my comic script-writing debut, which makes it a very valuable future collector's item. And it's that much closer to reaching comic shop shelves.



Of course, being a very small publisher, Shooting Star is buried in the back of the Diamond catalog, and many retailers don't look that deeply when placing their orders. So this next part is up to you (gosh, you just knew there'd be a homework assignment, didn't you?): You've got to ask for it by name. Actually, you've got to do a bit more than that, because many comic shop retailers will just look at you dumbly if it's not from Marvel or DC and say, "We can't get it." To which you reply: "To order from Diamond, simply request item #JUN042740 F. The book is listed on page 332 of the June issue of Previews." That way they don't have any excuse not to stock a whole bunch of those literary masterpieces...
