Tony Williams
====================================================
Note the following Late Comics Report is not compiled by the poster of
this article.
Andrew S. Troth has kindly consented to allow me to be repost the list
on from CompuServe.
Andrew puts a lot of work into this useful list and would welcome any
constructive criticism or corrections.
The preferred method of reply is direct e-mail to Andrew at his
address 74663...@compuserve.com rather than follow-up replies to
rec.arts.comics.*
Definitely do not e-mail the poster of this article - I'm just the
monkey, Andrew is the organ-grinder.

This is a list of comic books that have *not* arrived in stores as of

Even with only one distributor left, distribution to all areas is not
entirely consistent. Actual on-sale dates may vary from region to
region, or even store to store.
