TRADE PAPERBACK is listed in Previews, and ready to
be ordered by your local comics shops! Be sure and tell
them you want at least three copies! It ships to stores

During the process of putting this ungodly package
together, we kept coming up with crazy new

book up to a whopping 160 pages!
What can you expect, fans?
– The complete sordid story, including the original
covers and back covers!
– A brand new three-page epilogue!

America (featuring “The Lump’s” “Skitz” Jenkins,
with cameos by Lindsay and Raven!)!

enamored by “The Lump!”
– Yours truly, Rob Oder, interviewing creator
Chris Wisnia!
– Essays on the creation, publishing processes,
and ingenius marketing techniques of “The Lump!”
some of which must have been responsible for its

WHAT IS TABLOIA UP TO NEXT?!
Glad you asked, fans! We’ve scrapped the religious project
mentioned in previous emails, due to (unenthusiastic)
interest in DORIS DANGER’S adventures! We’re hoping
to get out at least TWO DORIS DANGER COMICS before
the end of the year! Keep your eyes peeled for …
“DORIS DANGER’S GREATEST ALL-OUT ARMY
BATTLES!” featuring giant monster war pin-ups by
DICK AYERS, SAM GLANZMAN, RUSS HEATH,
and JOHN SEVERIN!
Once that’s out, we’ll follow it up with
DORIS DANGER … IN OUTER SPACE!” with outer
space giant monster pin-ups by JH WILLIAMS III,
AL FELDSTEIN, DAVE GIBBONS, and
PETER BAGGE! What a line-up!
