If you’re feverishly waiting for your copy of Mike W. Barr’s Silver Age Sci-Fi Companion (and why wouldn’t you be? It’s an awesome book!), don’t give up hope! It was supposed to be shipping by now, but DC Comics’ legal department requested some changes, and we’re in the process of wrapping those up, and hope to have it to press, and in stores, within another 4-6 weeks. Please be patient; it’ll be worth the wait!

You may not be able to see it from where you’re typing, but there’s a mad flurry of activity going on at TwoMorrows HQ right now! We’ve just sent our Summer 2008 book titles into the Bookstore Market (can you believe we have to have them planned out this far in advance?). Also, I’m in discussions with our editors about what our Free Comic Book Day publication will be for 2008. All our mag editors have turned in their issue covers and descriptions through July 2008, so I can include them in our brand spankin’ new 2008 color catalog (I’ll be sequestering myself to complete it over the next couple of weeks, so it’ll be printed in plenty of time for New Years).

All this, plus our everyday tasks of getting our regular books and mags to press, keeps me really hopping! Stay tuned, for details on some new stuff over the next few weeks.

From artist Loston Wallace, here’s Kirby’s version of Dr. Doom, translated to a “Jack” o’Lantern. That oughtta scare away the trick or treaters!
