Good afternoon, Just a friendly reminder that *Foreword Reviews* offers the latest indie book recommendations for comics and graphic novels <https://www.forewordreviews.com/search/?q=%28%28type%3Areview%29+%23comicsandgraphicnovels%29+> in every issue and reviews are archived on our website, most available through your normal distribution channels. Subscriptions are free <https://www.forewordreviews.com/subscriptions/print-magazine/> for librarians, in case you don't have one yet! Digital or print. Happy Holidays! *Victoria Sutherland, Publisher* www.forewordreviews.com *Celebrating independent presses since 1998 * *It’s not the strongest species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change*. Charles Darwin *I rely on Foreword Reviews to introduce me to new authors and publishers that aren't generally featured in other review magazines. The design and production of each issue is beautiful as well! *- D., Denver Public Library On Mon, Dec 13, 2021 at 1:25 PM Dan Huang <dlh4_at_lehigh.edu> wrote: > I second Lisa on this one since it's not immediately obvious to some > vendors that comics are essentially serials/cons and have to be addressed > as such (eg. making sure you get Batman vol 2 after vol 1 and that it's a > continuation and therefore on standing order). > > > > > > On Mon, Dec 13, 2021 at 1:18 PM Martincik, Lisa L < > lisa-martincik_at_uiowa.edu> wrote: > >> Hi Kristin, >> >> >> >> We often work with our local comics shop (LCS); they’re willing to search >> for items and then invoice us.
