TwoMorrows Publishing is pleased to announce that all future releases from TwoMorrows will now be available to pre-order through the new Diamond UK, including our best-selling range of magazines and critically acclaimed books. This new agreement is in conjunction with our exclusive relationship with Lunar Distribution, to better serve our overseas customers.

Within the next few weeks, UK retailers will also be able to order recent back issues of our magazines and existing books through the new Diamond UK, as we restock Lunar’s warehouses to accommodate the expected influx of new orders.

A word of caution: Due to the upheaval caused by the former Diamond Comic Distributors’ bankruptcy, print runs were reduced on many of our 2025 releases. We apologize to our customers who missed getting copies of Back Issue #159 (the now sold-out Crisis on Infinite Earths Anniversary issue) and Cryptology #1 (also sold out). 

Alter Ego #194 (celebrating Roy Thomas’ 60th anniversary in comics), and Alter Ego #195 (the Neal Adams issue) are in low stock, and will not be restocked at Lunar. We encourage customers to order those immediately from www.twomorrows.com to avoid being disappointed when they sell out in the coming days.
