Free Magazine Day at TwoMorrows! -

On Saturday, May 6 (and maybe into May 7, if we wake up late), in 
conjunction with the comic industry’s Free Comic Book Day, we're offering 
you any in-stock issue of BACK ISSUE, ALTER EGO, DRAW!, or WRITE NOW!, free 
of charge! Just select one issue from the pull-down list that'll appear here 
on May 6, add it to your shopping cart, then log into our web store and 
checkout (you don't have to enter any credit card or payment information; 
just your shipping info). The magazine you selected will be mailed to you at 
no cost the following week! What could be easier than that?

So, why are we giving stuff away? Simple; the goal is to expose new readers 
to our amazing line of magazines, so they’ll in turn start ordering them at 
their local comics shop, or subscribe. We also want to reward our current 
loyal readers, by letting them try a magazine they may not already be 
familiar with, or just fill a hole in their run of back issues. But while 
you're here, please take a minute to browse around and learn about other new 
items we have coming up, including our newest magazine launch, ROUGH STUFF!

The Rules:
Limit one free issue per person, please! If more than one copy is ordered 
for a given address, then NO SOUP FOR YOU! (Or magazines, either.)

Only orders placed at this website will be honored. No phone or e-mail 
orders, please! (We're relying on the automation of our site to efficiently 
process all these freakin' orders!)

This offer only applies to in-stock issues of BACK ISSUE, ALTER EGO, DRAW!, 
or WRITE NOW! (Copies of The Jack Kirby Collector, Comic Book Artist, 
Comicology, Crazy Hip Groovy Go-Go Whateveritis or any of our other 
outstanding products are not eligible, so don't even ask!)

In the unlikely event the issue you requested sells out, we'll substitute 
whatever we darn well feel like (although we'll try to make it a similar 
item).

If our website goes up in flames due to overwhelming response, you're just 
outta luck, buddy. (But knowing us, we'd probably extend the offer a couple 
of extra days...)

No exchanges allowed; what you choose is what you get! (Refunds are 
accepted, however; just send us back the issue, and we'll gladly refund what 
you paid for it.)

If you came here looking for a free copy of Wizard Magazine, boy, are you in 
the wrong place!

Tell your friends about Free Magazine Day, and enjoy your free mag! (And 
consider subscribing or ordering our mags from your local comics shop!)

Outside the US? If you want your free magazine shipped to Canada, you'll 
have to pay $2 to help offset the additional postage costs. Want it shipped 
anywhere other than the US and Canada? $3 (for Surface Mail; sorry, no 
Airmail option on the freebies)!

Afraid you'll miss Free Magazine Day? Click over on the left to join our 
Yahoo mailing list! In addition to receiving periodic updates of what's 
going on at TwoMorrows Publishing, we'll be sending out a reminder message 
on May 5 to everyone on the Yahoo list to log in to get their free mag.

Back Issue #11

100 pages - July 2005
Diamond’s “Best Publication About Comics” lets “Gods and Warriors” muscle 
their way into BACK ISSUE #11! And who better to headline the ish than 
CONAN? ROY THOMAS, KURT BUSIEK, and JOE JUSKO spill their guts in a meaty 
retrospective of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian series, with tons of rare and 
classic art by JOHN BUSCEMA, BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH, NEAL ADAMS, Jusko, and 
others. SERGIO ARAGONÉS and MARK EVANIER chew the fat about GROO THE 
WANDERER in a “Pro2Pro” interview, and Heavy Metal artist extraordinaire 
ARTHUR SUYDAM shares his insights and illustrations in an exclusive 
interview. Plus: “The Greatest Stories Never Told” investigates DC’s 
never-published KING ARTHUR series by GERRY CONWAY and NESTOR REDONDO, 
unveiling for the first time several of Redondo’s glorious pages from the 
series; a Gods and Warriors “Rough Stuff” art gallery by JACK KIRBY, 
MOEBIUS, GEORGE PÉREZ, JOSÉ LUIS GARCIA-LOPEZ, DON HECK, and others; the 
scoop on the secret artist who contributed to the 1976 clash of titans 
SUPERMAN VS. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN; and a spotlight on BRIAN BOLLAND’s 
covers for 1980s British Annuals! With a striking painted CONAN cover by JOE 
JUSKO, recreating JOHN BUSCEMA’s frontispiece to Savage Sword of Conan #17!

PLEASE NOTE: The quotes from Barry Windsor-Smith that appeared in Tom 
Stewart’s “Conan the Long-Running” article were from previously printed 
sources and were not commissioned specifically for this article. The caption 
to the image appearing on page 53 was erroneous: This portfolio piece, 
obtained from Heritage Comics, was Barry Windsor-Smith’s 1974 “The Ram and 
the Peacock” print, depicting a barbarian that is not Conan, and is © 2005 
The Gorblimey Press. Additionally, page 49’s early Conan illo and Ragnarok 3 
cover drawing are © 2005 Barry Windsor-Smith, as is the Young Miracleman 
pencil artwork on page 24 (in our “Rough Stuff” feature). BACK ISSUE 
apologizes to Mr. Windsor-Smith and to our readers for the errors.
