Step 1: Try your local shop. Comic stores all over are fighting for their very survival, so please support your local retailer whenever possible. It helps them out, makes things easier for us, and is the cheapest and most convenient way for you to get your books. Everyone wins, long as everyone does their part.
All Twist and Shout titles are available through independent-friendly comic shops. Some stores will still have copies of our books, even the out-of-print ones.
Step 2: Have your store re-order the books. If your store doesn't have the books in stock, they can still get them for you. Your store owner can order our books through Diamond Comics Distribution , Cold Cut Distribution, or SyCo Distribution.
In practice, Diamond Distribution has changed their reorder processing policy to cancel any reorders below a certain number of books, that certain number being much bigger than your order. However, Cold Cut has plenty of stock of our titles (and lots of other great independents -- you have a better chance of getting your retailer to order if you have them pick up all the indy books you want...) and has great service. SyCo also stocks our books; they are fairly new, so we haven't gotten direct feedback on their service.
At last check, Cold Cut Distribution still had some copies of X-Flies Conspiracy and X-Flies Special left.
Step 3: Have your store order the books from us. While we prefer to support the distributor and retailer system, we will directly fill orders from stores. We have no minimum order, and ship within 48 hours of receiving an order. They can contact us directly at the address below.
Don't be misled by lazy or uninformed store personnel -- they can get the books if they value your business. We have the books in print, we have been receiving orders from the distributors, and all reorders are filled promptly here within 48 hours of receipt.
Step 4: Find a better store. Some stores just don't get it. It's "too much trouble" to order the books you want, and they can't get them anyway. Don't believe them -- check around. We include a list of indy-friendly stores below, or you can check out Jeff Mason's list of indy-friendly stores.
Step 5: Order directly. If your local store owners really don't want your business, or if you simply don't have a local store, you can also order directly from us.
Please add $1 for shipping and handling to your order. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax, too.
Twist and Shout ComicsAgain, Jeff Mason has done this very thing, and somewhat better than we have. Check out his list. We will be adding a list of the retailers we've talked to directly in this space in the future.
