Diamond Shipping List

What I’m picking is below.

Please note: I usually drop my regular titles just to make
this shorter. Do any of you care about those?

No?

Good.

Previews Publications

DEC060007 PREVIEWS ADULT VOL XVII #2 PI
DEC060003 PREVIEWS VOL XVII #2 PI
DEC060005 PREVIEWS VOL XVII CONSUMER ORDER FORM #2 PI

Already?!? Jesus, time’s flying.

Dark Horse Comics

JUN060044 PENNY ARCADE VOL 3 WARSUN PROPHECIES TP $12.95

This should be just about the point where Gabe’s art ticks upward in quality dramatically. Once a man takes away his day job and starts drawing full time, things happen, I guess.

DC COMICS

OCT060228 SHOWCASE PRESENTS BRAVE & BOLD BATMAN TEAMUPS VOL 1 $16.99

Want to get a sneak peek of what you’re in for with this volume of Silver Age Cuckookiness, slappy? Check out the first of the “regular” Batman team-up issues on this very site!

Man, I’m really nice to you people.

Other Companies

NOV063511 HOW TO BE A COMIC BOOK ARTIST $4.99

They hired me to do this, but thought asking $5 for a single page that read “Just draw what I fucking tell you to, dammit!” was a bit much.

SEP063175 NINJA TALES #1 $6.99
JUL062993 TAG #3 (OF 3) $3.99

BOOM! Studios did not pay me for this placement.

They pay me to keep the multiple laundering accounts in the Caymans in my name. I do the placement as a bonus.

(I do really like Tag, though, and think that the Tales books allow the market to have a high-quality pop-culture anthology versus a more intellectual/artistic approach.)

DEC063545 WIMBLEDON GREEN GREATEST COMIC BOOK COLLECTOR I/T WORLD HC $19.95

I love Wimbledon Green. I know it’s the fluffiest of Seth’s works, but there’s a sense of joy in it, some heady, bizarre combination of Uncle Scrooge and Jimmy Corrigan that captivates me.
