I learned this afternoon that DH is going to print up the cover of UY as 17x24" giveaway posters. Unfortunately, it will be a retailer incentive, so will only be given to stores that order a minimum number of UY 100.
That issue comes out in January.

do you know what that "minimum" amount is? Maybe I can coerce my Comic Store into ordering more than usual..
Or maybe I'll have them order that amount for me... UY 100 would make a very nice birthday present for some of my friends, to boost their interest in Usagi and their English....
Come to think of it, there still may be some friends I haven't infected with Usagi-fondness yet....
Just an idea....
Greetings from overseas

I do not know if the offer applies to overseas shops. I'll have to ask DH.Thomas Froehling wrote:Ok;Stan Sakai wrote:... it will be a retailer incentive, so will only be given to stores that order a minimum number of UY 100.

Alright!!!!
Whoo hoooo!
My local comicbook store just called me back. They said they normally order 10 issues of UY, but if I wanted to pick up the extra 5, they would throw in the poster for free! So for 6 issues of UY #100 (~$23, I guess) I get the signed poster of that beautiful cover. I feel lucky tonight!
Peace,
maka

Congrats, Maka! Which reminds me, we are only 4 days away from the release of UY 100!! Not sure if everyone has seen the preview art, but there are 6 pages available in the This Month in UY section....http://usagiyojimbo.com/newinuy.html
Speaking of the UY poster, I wonder how many DHC actually printed? Did they wait to print until they received all orders for UY 100? Or did they anticipate a certain number and printed before the orders came in? The former would seem the more logical. I know they are signed, so it would stand to make sense they had a deadline to place orders very early, and printed enough posters to cover the 15 single-issue orders.

The posters had to be printed and signed before DH received orders for UY 100. There were 600 printed. I imagine that maybe 100 or more will be given away in the retailer incentive. That means DH will have a lot of left overs that I do not know what they will do with. I imagine many will be given to employees and to special friends and customers. But that still leaves a lot.Todd Shogun wrote: Speaking of the UY poster, I wonder how many DHC actually printed? Did they wait to print until they received all orders for UY 100?
