Here comes Scratch9!
The first issue of Scratch9 is due to ship this month and I realize I’ve been a bit remiss in posting about the book here at robworley.com. I have been keeping Scratch9.com current with all the latest and greatest buzz, of if you’ve been visiting there you’re up to speed.
If not here’s some interesting stuff you missed:
Now, we don’t know the exact shipping date of issue #1. We’ll have that for you soon. If you haven’t bugged your local comic shop you may want to do that now because they may have overlooked us! If you want to help your retailer order a copy of any of the issues so far, you should give him these ordering codes: Issue 1 – #JUN10 0739, Issue 2 – #JUL10 0753 and Issue 3 – #AUG10 0753
If you really want to help raise awareness about our little indie comic — and win some cool Scratch9 prizes besides enter our “Help your comics shop find Scratch9” contest!
Finally, we’ve got previews of the second and third issues right here!
