From: Christopher M. Conway Date: Tue, 1 Aug 1995 10:54:39 -0600 Subject: Comics Weekly Releases 31 July 1995 As you can see, Jim is going to stop doing this list once DC is off of it. I'd recommend that you go ahead and sign up for Jonathan Taggart's list (info below). I agree with Jim; there's not much point in continuing a Capital City list at that point, and there's no point in my duplicating Jonathan's work. I'll let you know once the list is completely dead. Thank you all for your patience, and I hope I've been of some service for the last year or so. For those of you who might be interested, Jonathan Taggart has started a list of Diamond releases. You can get it either via email (mail to majordomo@teleport.com with subscribe comics your-email-address int the body of the message, or via the web at URL http://www.teleport.com/~taggarj. This is the list of weekly comics releases compiled by Jim Cowling (scowling@cyberstore.ca) from the list that Capital City provides. Send him your thanks. The email list is maintained by Chris Conway (wombat@aquilagroup.com). Send me your gripes and mailing list administrivia. This list now has 667 members. Chris Conway wombat@aquilagroup.com Don't Tread on Me ====================================================================== This is a list of new stuff scheduled to be released by one distributor during the week of July 31, 1995. Your mileage will almost certainly vary. This list is compiled weekly by Jim Cowling (scowling@cyberstore.ca). It is available in the newsgroups rec.arts.comics.misc,rec.arts.comics.info, and rec.arts.comics.alternative. It is also available weekly by e-mail from Chris Conway at wombat@aquilagroup.com. I have decided that I will definitely, no appeals, stop doing this list when DC goes exclusive with Diamond (in the next couple of weeks). Since Capital City (the wholesaler I get this list from) is due to lose its dealings with DC, Acclaim, Image, Dark Horse (and Marvel and Malibu already) with many more supposedly to come, this list loses most of its utility except for those who are only interested in indies, which, I'm afraid, is such a minority of the readership of this list that it isn't worth my time to do. I'd rather it end sooner than later, so I can go out on a relative high point, rather than be forced to end it some months down the road when Capital City is only carrying a dozen books a month. :) ------- AC Comics Crimebuster Classics 1 Golden Age Greats 4 Abstract Strangers in Paradise 6 Acclaim Eternal Warrior 44 Magic: Shadow Mage TPB Magnus Robot Fighter 58 Solar Man of the Atom 52 Visitor 13 Aeon Post Bros 44 Aiiie Comics Sick Smiles 9 Allied Comics Small Press Swimsuit Spectacular 1 Alpha Lethargic Comics 4 Antarctic Gremlin Trouble 1 Aria Fortune's Friends TPB Avon New Lit: City of Glass Basement Cavewoman 6 Brainstorm Vamperotica Lingerie Special 1 Caliber Kilroy is Here 2 Negative Burn 11 Cartoon Books Bone 16 Cosmic Comics Welcome to the Little Shop of Horrors 3 Crusade Shi: Senryaku 1 DC Comics Action 714 Aquaman 13 Argus 6 Azrael 9 Batman Adventures 36 Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight 75 Books of Magic 17 Catwoman 25 Chiaroscuro 3 Damage 17 Deathstroke 52 Green Arrow 101 Guy Gardner Warrior 35 Hardware 32 Invisibles 13 Lobo 20 Long Hot Summer 3 Manhunter 11 Robin 21 Sandman 71 Shadow Cabinet 16 Dark Horse Aliens/Predator: Deadliest of Ghost in the Shell 6 the Species 12 Intron Depot Deluxe TPB Stwr Wars: Jabba the Hutt: X 17 Dynasty Trap Dark Visions Dark Visions Publishing Paradox 2 Presents 2 David G.
