SCARY MONSTERS #117 almost made it out the door, but instead got hung up by the printer, who has bailed (and rightly so) in the wake of COVID-19. Here is the message from publishers Don and Vicki Smeraldi:
Scary Monsters 117th Hideous Horticultural Horrors Issue has been printed but not bound as our printer's plant has been closed due to COVID-19. Once the plant re-opens and finishes producing #117 -- and our distributors resume their transportation operations -- we will receive our copies and begin filling preorders and subscriptions. Soon after that, bookstores, comic shops, and newsstands that carry Scary Monsters will have copies of #117 available for purchase. We will make another announcement when this occurs.
This delay will impact our release schedule for subsequent issues this year, but it is too soon to know just how much. We sincerely appreciate your patience! Please keep in mind that our online store MyMovieMonsters.com is still open for business and shipping orders daily.
Free Digital E-Version of #117 Available!
Until the printed version of Scary Monsters #117 is available, we are offering a free download digital e-version. It's a $5 value. This is restricted to purchases made today through a date to be determined only for: new subscriptions starting with #117 or subscription renewals that start with #117 or preorders for #117. A customer email address is required. Once one of these specific purchases is completed at ScaryMonstersMagazine.com, the customer will receive an email that will include instructions on how to obtain one-time personal access to the digital pdf version.
Good call by the publisher. Lets try to defeat the real monster, this killer virus, before dealing with the monsters in book form!
