Just found this one in the mailbox...

If anyone's going to SDCC, this may be the give-away issue at their booth (Krause Publications)

I am amazed at the pub this new line is getting.

Why'd you black out your info?

You can never tell when one of the scans on this site will end up on Ebay.

Are the white tapes peelable?

I thought the CBG issues arrived bagged....I heard they upgraded the paper quality for the new issues now....

Solar looks like he has a "Savage Sword of Conan" pose....

They've been arriving unbagged lately... significantly thinner (fewer pages) than the old style.

The strip on the left might peel off (with some glue residue),
but the mailing label on the bottom right is printed directly on the cover (not a sticker).

About four wraps are upgraded paper, but the majority of the issue is the same newsprint.

Sweet. Dave is right, this new Dark Horse stuff is seeming to get ALOT of press.

The last time I saw a CBG, it was a big newspaper... In fact, I think I still have a few of those at my parents' house.

I wonder if this issue of CBG will be in stores tomorrow?

People who have the internet still subscribe to printed comics news magazines?!?!

I definitely would if they were cheaper over here. They are about 6 or 7 pounds after they've been shipped over.

I'd buy Alter Ego or Back Issue for sure.

Those magazine are great.
