STRIP MAGAZINE TO RE-LAUNCH IN SEPTEMBER


Having never seen this in shops, nor received the review copies promised, I can’t say I’m that bothered but we need to keep the British comic buying public informed so…



Print Media Productions has reluctantly decided to delay its planned news stand launch of STRIP from June until September 2012.


The decision follows discussion with our news stand distributors who suggested that the autumn would be a far better time for the new incarnation to hit the newsagents.


“There are also vital issues that need to be sorted out, especially a guaranteed delivery cycle from Print Media in Bosnia” editor John Freeman commented. “Both myself and Mike Conroy, who is advising us administration matters, discussed the situation with publisher Ivo Milicevic, who has bankrolled the project so far, and agreed the logistics of getting the first issue of the new incarnation printed and into the shops for our planned launch date were simply insurmountable at this time.”


Once STRIP Issue 5 – a giant-sized issue – is released in comic shops in the UK next month (again, later than planned), STRIP will take a a summer break.


Issue 1 Volume 2 has been solicited in PREVIEWS for September 2012.
