Plenty of Elephantmen available this week

Press Release

This Thursday (September 10, 2009), the acclaimed sci-fi series,  ELEPHANTMEN,  will give readers a chance to jump on board as participating stores receive a special 25% overship.

“I’m so glad we’re overshipping this particular issue, because I want it to get into as many people’s hands as possible,” Starkings said. “We’ve sold out of EVERY issue since #16 – the Marian Churchland issues were a huge hit – and our numbers have been holding very steady since we returned to our regular monthly schedule with our series of standalone stories, DANGEROUS LIAISONS. I envision ten hefty ELEPHANTMEN collections by the time we’re done, so readers have a lot to look forward to.”

Press Release

MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS’ Mike Allred and  SOUL KISS’ Steven T. Seagle confirmed they did not announce a new project at this year’s Comic Con International during the Mike Allred spotlight panel, citing the sheer number of announcements made at the show this year as reason enough to withhold information.
