A Very Quick Explanation

 You may have been expecting BTSH no. 8 but all three parts of The Green Skies?

Unfortunately with no real sales my constantly breaking down PC cannot be replaced and after it took me a couple of hours to get it basically functioning again I realised that once it goes that is it.

Green Skies parts 1-3 were uploaded last June and the rush was on to get covers together. I could not publish one part have the computer break down and parts 2 and 3 not appear. Therefore I decided to get it all out onto the online store. Reviewers have raved about the books but that never accounts for sales!

One point. The books have a cover price of £10.00 UK and that is because prices increased and each costs over £8.00 to print. That £10.00 cover price will make me a profit (before taxes!) of 98p. The real cover price should be £12-15.00 and that is an increase that will come in during March of this year but rather than go for a big cover price I decided to make the books (temporarily) low priced to attract readers.

The books are my supposed income but no one buys these days and if no one buys then I can't afford a new laptop or PC let alone the bills.

That is the explanation for the sudden surge of books!

Thank you.

Shockingly, the Clone Zone Boyz claims someone close to Merriwether and this leads him to team up with two 'unsavoury' characters. 

In space Krii and Tyn hrrn face a seemingly unstoppable enemy. 

On The Moon the Selenites and representatives of other worlds meet and decide that Johnny Apollo, the Z-Man, is the only one who can lead the counter invasion fleet.

The Many Eyed One is finally coming. 

The Multiversal Council has quarantined Earth and forbidden any to help.

Black Tower Super Heroes 8 Marks ....THE END

 

BTSH 8 -all edited

  All the cleaning up for Black Tower Super Heroes 8 is complete. Just need to sort out a cover which will be a pain but hopefully I'll add BTSH 8 to the store by Friday.

From Zero Heroes to Captain Cosmic and His Fruit Garden!

 Just to prove I am working here are the Captain Cosmic pages for Black Tower Super Heroes 8 -unlettered and a few touch ups needed.

I Am Still Here. I Am Alive....I am alive-?

There are currently 172 books on the online store and soon Black Tower Super Heroes No. 8 will be ready -and it will be one for those interested in the British Golden Age!

It's taken a while due to getting books ready to publish, publishing Beyond UFO Contact, as well as finishing off The Green Skies Vol. 3 parts I, II and III -in fact all three of those books were ready months ago and are just waiting for BTSH 8. 

Incidentally, apparently good old fashioned horse compost is good for hiding things from alien scanning. Word.

Arthritic hands and the eye problems mean I need to take things slow although every day I still get more and more ideas but there is only me doing thios....oh, and some fella over in Japan 😂

Still no questions or queries from anyone out there which never surprises me these days -oh for the days of being inundated with locs (letters of comment)!

In the next month or so the book total on the store front will be 176 and these range in price and, again, I need to point out that there is NO overseas shipping costs: the books ordered are printed in the regionordered from so you pay the local rates.

Books on UFOs, ghosts, cryptozoology, wildlife and even of comic creator interviews. Graphic novels, comic albums (page count over 48), comics -the store has them. The prices are kept low (the printers refuse to print without getting paid 😲😲) to encourage new readers or people interested in supporting Independent comics but are short of cash (been there. Done that).

Various genres from crime, super heroes, adventure, science fiction, horror and ghost stories -comic strip as well as illustrated text stories.  

You will not find these books in comic stores because they are castrated by monopoly distributors who ONLY want Marvel, DC and Image comics on shelves. 

I have checked every third party site allegedly selling Black Tower books and I can tell you "post free" is an outright lie -they have to order from my store and once the book gets to them they then have to get it to the buyer and they add anywhere from £10/$10 upwards. So there is a price hike to cover postage as well as get a profit AND a delay in getting a book. Also, something goes wrong it has nothing to do with me -you buy from a third party you take your chances.

If you have questions then leave a comment.

Thanks
