As you may have heard, Diamond Comics has decided  that in the last week in Deecmber this year, there will be very few new comic books shipping from major publishers to comic book stores across America. As a result, the Source has decided to take this opportunity to showcase and promote local\/regional Independent &#038; Alternative Comic Books and Cartoonists. That is to say we plan on using our entire new comic book rack to feature their works for the entire week of December 28-January 3.  The reason I&#8217;m writing to you today is to invite you to participate and get your book on the rack.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the general outline:<br \/>\n1) We&#8217;d like to buy 4-10 copies of your most current published work to put on the rack.<br \/>\n    We&#8217;re limiting each creator to a maximum of two spots to insure as much access by as<br \/>\n    many different creators as possible.<br \/>\n2) We&#8217;d like to have it delivered here ASAP with December 23 being the drop dead date.<br \/>\n3) We are limited to 155 display spots on our new rack. First come first served.<br \/>\n4) We love all formats! Mini-Comics, Tear Sheets, Printed Peculiarities all welcome! <\/p>\n<p>Further Info:<br \/>\n1) One of our staff members, Burl Zorn, is going to be the main contact at the Source for<br \/>\n    this event. All activity, questions and contacts should be directed at him (see contact info<br \/>\n    above). Call Burl at 651-645-0386<br \/>\n2) Before you send or deliver any comics, please make sure that you&#8217;ve spoken to Burl about<br \/>\n    it! <\/p>\n<p>I sincerely hope that you&#8217;re able to participate. What a great opportunity! We&#8217;re going to encourage fans to break from their buying habits and try something new.  Now is the time and this is the place!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your time!
