lotsa Harker news

Hi everyone! Just a reminder that Harker issue #3 will be available from Friday - you can buy it directly from us in the Store section at our website http://www.arielpress.com for only £1.95 (and we still have a few copies of issues 1 and 2 available if you've missed out).

If you live in York, you'll be able to buy issue three on Thursday (a day before release date) at Travelling Man in Goodramgate, and we're also available at Ace Comics in Colchester, Page 45 in Nottingham, Gosh in London (I think, you might have to ask), and the other Travelling Man stores in Leeds, Newcastle and Manchester are picking us up too. We're also hoping to get into the Forbidden Planet chain - if you have one in your town (or indeed any other kind of comic shop), ask if they'll order us in and tell them our website address! Or better yet, take in a copy and ask them why they aren't stocking it! We'd be delighted to provide them with a regular order.

Please bear in mind that one or two of these shops have only just started to stock us, with issue three being their first, so it'll take a month or so to get the ball rolling. If in doubt, give them a ring first and ask if they have a copy in stock, and if not, tell them how marvellous we are!

We need to spread the word - there's a free, personally signed copy of your favourite issue to any of you who manage to get your local comic shop to place an order! That's not much of a prize. Maybe we should throw in some chocolate too ;)

Oh! Don't forget that we'll be in Bristol in a couple of weeks. You'll find us at the Small Press Expo on Saturday 9th May, from 10am - 6pm at the Mercure Holland House Hotel, Redliffe Road, Bristol. Come and see us, have a chat, buy the latest issue, and I'm sure we'd happily sign it too if you ask! I'm trying to persuade Vince that we should do it in costume as Harker and Critchley - he'll look very natty in his suit, I'm sure!

Hope we'll see you there!

Roger
