What site was that, please, so I can have them correct the error as well?

Glad to see theer are no hard feelings– we’ll try better in the future.

Oh yeah–A clarification: Let me be clear that your credit was not left off due to anything related to Amelia’s publishing team– it was pulled from another website, and that’s where the slip up took place.

James, nope, my shop said they didn’t need me because they were cutting back on their outreach. (Which seems to have worked out fine for everyone, since I spent the day visiting several shops around town, including theirs, and they had fewer people but more serious customers.)

Some online retailers have associated brick-and-mortar stores, I’m told, which allows them to get some of the FCBD comics.

James–

Glad you enjoy “Love and Capes”. The retail version of the FCBD book is available in Previews now, and #6 is available on the website now.

I hope you had a good Free Comic Book Day!

Yay FCBD. Of course none of the retailers in my area ever get any of the ones except for the big publishers. So I’ll hve to wait until I can order Love and Capes (I actually missed the prior issue of it too apparently) and be envious of those with Owly and Amelia Rules!

Are you not volunteering at a shop this year Johanna? Plus are you sure online dealers can’t particpate? I know in years past I’d get a few from DCBS if I had an order that month. (again only the big name ones)

Thanks, John. It just surprised me to see so many of the others credited when mine wasn’t. I’m sure you had a lot to pull together. No hard feelings.

Johanna– Sorry about missing your credit on the Amelia review– reviews were given to me as editor, and pulled from a variety of sources– since I did not have all these credits (as you know, the internet and creators are sometimes sloppy in including), my only recourse was to give copyright credit to respective reviews.

I agree, credits would have been nice, and you were not the only one slighted, I am sure– i hope you will look to the bigger picture of getting the word out on these books, and accept my apology.

Thanks for mentioning the book on your site.

best
John
