Press Release
TwoMorrows Publishing, now in its 15th year of celebrating the art and history of comics and LEGO, is starting the summer with a huge 50% off sale. Now through June 30, there are 30 items at www.twomorrows.com available at half-price, while supplies last.
Publisher John Morrow notes, “Because of the economy, a lot of people won’t be making the rounds of the major comic book conventions this summer. So throughout June, we’re featuring some perennial favorites and all-time best sellers at the lowest prices we’ve ever offered. If you can’t visit our upcoming booths at Heroes Con and Comic-Con International, this is a great way to ‘feed the need’, and get some fantastic bargains in the process.”
The full list of items on sale after the jump!
Instead of giving away free physical copies of its offereings, TwoMorrows publishing is giving away complete digital issues of its various magazines for Free Comic Book Day.
From May 1-3, TwoMorrows will be offering free complete digital issues of their various magazines for download, so customers can sample their publications. This limited time offer includes issues of their current magazine line-up:
- ALTER EGO (focusing on Golden and Silver Age comics)
- BACK ISSUE! (celebrating comic books of the 1970s, 1980s, and today)
- THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR (documenting the life and career of the “King” of comics)
- DRAW! (the professional “how-to” magazine on comics and cartooning), and
- BRICKJOURNAL (the ultimate resource for Lego enthusiasts)
Also featured are past favorites ROUGH STUFF and WRITE NOW!, which are still available as back issues. Digital Editions normally retail for $2.95-$3.95 per download, but are free over the three-day Free Comic Book Day weekend, to encourage more readers to try them out, and consider ordering them at their local comic book shop.
I like that TwoMorrows is offering up free digital copies, as it gives everyone a chance to check out the future of publishing. And I have purchased BrickJournal many times, and for LEGO fants, it is a must read. All you have to do is log into the site and add the issues to your shopping cart, checkout and enjoy.
TwoMorrows Publishing is auctioning off a limited edition hardcover copy of their new book, The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore: Indispensable Edition, autographed by “Watchmen” and “V For Vendetta” author Alan Moore. All proceeds from this auction go to THE HERO INITIATIVE, a federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated to helping comic book creators in need. The auction can be found on eBay.
Print publications are folding left and right as more readers migrate to teh interwebs for their news, features, interviews, and general pleasure. The latest to end its print run is TwoMorrows’ Write Now!, the how-to magazine for those learning to write for comics, animation and sci-fi.
“Write Now! has had an amazing run, and I’m incredibly proud of what editor Danny Fingeroth has accomplished with it,” offered TwoMorrows’ publisher John Morrow. “Danny has shaped it into the preeminent publication catering to anyone with an interest in the nuts and bolts of writing for the comics medium. If you’ve read every issue, you’ve likely acquired the equivalent of a higher education degree in the intricacies of scripting. But while our readership has been fanatically loyal during its run, both Danny and I feel the magazine has reached a point where the economy is taking a toll on its circulation, and the increasing amount of time involved in its production might be spent more productively elsewhere. So we’ve jointly decided that #20 will be the last issue.”
In addition to packing those backpacks, book bags, and knap sacks with new number 2s, Big Chief tablets, and erasers, Two-Morrows wants you to stuff a few comics in there as well. The company has a back-to-school special where it is selling some of its titles for as little as two-dollars.
“We’ve had other sales, on a much smaller range of titles,” said publisher John Morrow, “but never anything to rival this. I took my 6-year-old daughter back-to-school shopping recently, and was astonished at what the total for a first grader came to. With convention season winding down and school starting up across the country, I thought it was time to offer our customers some relief from high gas, food, and comics publication prices.”
Magazines will be going for two-dollars while some of its books are going for 50% off. Take the jump for the complete list of deals.
This is going to be a huge week of news and posts coming out of San Diego, and if you are going to the show, check out the offering from TwoMorrows Publishing.
Two Morrows Publishing has announced that between now and June 30, 2008, the company will sell back issues of Comic Book Artist and Write Now for $2.00 each.
WRITE NOW features writing tips from pros on both sides of the desk, interviews, sample scripts, reviews, exclusive Nuts & Bolts tutorials, and more invaluable information on writing for comics, animation, and sci-fi, and is edited by Marvel Comics editor and Spider-Man writer Danny Fingeroth. COMIC BOOK ARTIST is the multi-Eisner Award winner for Best Comics Related Periodical, edited by Jon B. Cooke. It features in-depth articles, interviews, and unseen art, celebrating the lives and careers of the great comics artists from the 1970s to today, and though TwoMorrows no longer publishes CBA, back issues are still highly sought after in the collector’s market.
This deal includes all issues except the coveted Comic Book Artist #21, that features an interview with Adam Hughes. In order to take advantage of this deal, you’ll have to place your order through the Two Morrows website.
During Free Comic Book Day (TOMORROW!) TwoMorrows Publishing will be giving away its Comics Go Hollywood title.
This 32-page comic-size book was assembled exclusively for Free Comic Book Day by the company’s regular magazine editors, and reveals secrets behind fans’ favorite on-screen heroes, and what’s involved in taking a character from the comics page to the big screen. It includes storyboards from DC’s animated hit “The New Frontier” (courtesy of DRAW! magazine), JEPH LOEB on writing for both Marvel Comics and the Heroes TV show (courtesy of WRITE NOW! magazine), details of an unseen X-Men movie (courtesy of ALTER EGO magazine), a history of the Joker from his 1940s origins to his upcoming appearance in the Dark Knight film (courtesy of BACK ISSUE magazine), and a look at Marvel Universe co-creator Jack Kirby’s Hollywood career, with extensive Kirby art (courtesy of the JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR magazine).
If for some reason you can’t get thee to the comic store, TwoMorrows will also give away the title for free as a downloadable digital edition from the company website.
TwoMorrows Publishing is set to release Kirby Five-Oh! at the New York Comic-Con that features the 50 best things to come from Kirby’s 50 years in comics. Originally scheduled as a softcover book, there has been enough interest in the title for TwoMorrows to release a limited edition hardcover.
The hardcover version features all the original contents of the softcover version, but with a full-color wrapped hardcover, and an individually-numbered extra Kirby art plate not included in the softcover edition.
The hardcover will sell for $34.95, and you can only get it by pre-ordering directly from TwoMorrows.
TwoMorrows Publishing has sent Major Spoilers the cover images and solicitation information for titles shipping in December 2007.
TwoMorrows Publishing will be making its 13th appearance at Comicon International: San Diego next week (July 25-29). There are lots of things on the book for the company including new releases, signings, and of course the Image Founders Panel on Friday.
