CRYPTOLOGY UPDATE

For those who have been enjoying the first two issues of TwoMorrows' fabulous new horror comic/monster movie magazine, CRYPTOLOGY, you may be wondering why the delay in issue #3. The answer is not as mysterious as you may think -- it's a result of the Diamond Comics Distributor bankruptcy catastrophe of a few months ago.

Like many other publishers, TwoMorrows was left in the lurch (and not the Addams Family kind) and is owed money that they will probably never recover. As a result, there has been a mad scramble for publishers, collectible dealers and the like to find another way to distribute their goods. It just didn't make business sense to crank out more material with no guarantee that their goods would be delivered to retailers.

TwoMorrows is one of the companies that quickly found a new distributor. The good news is, they'll be back to their regular publishing schedule as early as next month. More good news is that CRYPTOLOGY #3 is due by the end of next month and will be back on schedule thereafter.

Incidentally, yours truly has joined the CRYPTOLOGY writing team and will have several articles published in upcoming issues. I'll keep you posted.
