See you next month!

My mind was blown, and I was genuinely overwhelmed to learn my pride and joy OLD GODS & NEW was nominated for this year’s Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Book! In many ways, it’s the book I was born to write, but without all the efforts and content from Mark Evanier, Steve Sherman, Richard Kolkman, and Jon B. Cooke—both directly and indirectly—it would’ve been a pale imitation of what it is

And hat’s off to Roy Thomas for garnering TwoMorrows Publishing a second Eisner Award nomination this year, for Alter Ego in the category of Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism. After over 20 years doing AE at TwoMorrows (and winning the Eisner Award previously), he’s going stronger than ever—as anyone who’s checked out issue #175 can see. The interior’s even more impressive than this wraparound cover

Most of all, thanks to all our readers for keeping us in the game for 28 years and counting!

We’re cleaning out some space at TwoMorrows HQ, and have the following items up for sale. Unless noted, there’s only one copy of each, so don’t delay! Email store@twomorrows.com to reserve your copy, or call 919-449-0344 to order by phone. Shipping costs will be added to all orders.
