Hi, come in! Ooops… sorry… mind the spam… just set it down there, that's fine.
So, I have self-published again. I wasn't originally going to start a thread about this, just copy a PM to everyone I've spoken to about my stuff. But, there's no "send to many" function, and after a little reflection I realised that enough people had expressed an interest, or at least made some kind of noise that was interpreted by my fragile, adulation-hungry ego as an expression of interest, that I figured I'd be bound to miss someone out and it was easier all round to start a thread.
So here it is. Following is the text of an email I sent this morning, which some of you will have received anyway:
Yes indeed!
It's a Slabstravaganza, a veritable cornucopia of lumpen oddities! This one's got it all folks -
SPACE BATTLES!
SNAKE WRESTLING!
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND HUNKY MEN!
PLUS!
THE SECRET ORIGIN OF SLAB REVEALED AT LAST!
It's red-hot action the way you demanded it! Copies are currently available from:
Gosh Comics, Great Russell St (opposite the British Museum)
Orbital Comics & Collectibles, Old Compton St
Rough Trade Covent Garden, Neal's Yard
Or by mail from me for £2.50.
At this point I'd like to say an enormous, moist "thank you" to everyone who reviewed Slab 1, review copies of the new one are in the post as we speak.
Thank you for your time.
This has been a slablic service announcement
Londoners, if you're going to pick up new comics today anyway, you would do me a great honour by picking up a copy of my rag, and an even greater one by letting me know what you think. There are lots of other people to whom I've promised copies, please send me your address and I'll hook you up. If you're in the UK feel free to send me £2.50, if you're outside it's not really worth bothering about, although if you felt inclined to make an equivalent donation to Barbelith hosting costs that'd be lovely. Anyone I sent one to last time, please give me your address again, I'd love to know how people think the two compare.
Persephone - can I send you some copies? Say, 5 for Quimby's and 5 for QG? I promise I'll do you a biog today.
That's it.
PS - as I said, I'd love to get feedback from 'Lithers on this. I intended this thread as more an announcement than anything else, but if anyone has comments and would rather post them here than PM, that's absolutely fine, maybe even preferable. If that does happen I'll put in a mod request to have this moved to the Creation, possibly even to merge it with one of the existing "let's discuss each others' comics" threads. |
