28-Page Preview of Super Suckers #1, Another of Sitcomics' 64-Page $3.99 Comics

Writer for Seinfeld, Futurama, My FamilyDarin Henry, who has just sold a pitch to Netflix and made a new comedy for Disney, is publishing a line of humour comics called Sitcomics. But you won't see them in Diamond's Previews catalogue.

Instead, he is going direct to stores and has printed 25,000 copies of an eight-page catalogue, sent out to comic stores across the US. Published as 64-page standalone stories, over three times the length of a normal American comic, but for the price of one, $3.99, he can't afford the 70% discount Diamond Comic Distributor asks of him.

So he has started his own distributor, Sell-Through Distribution, he is encouraging readers to order the comics through their comic store. After the first issue is ordered, he will make subsequent issues ordered returnable.

The "Binge Book" catalogues are in comic book stores now, and orders will be received next Thursday, 25th, for sale in store on January 31st.

Comic book artists on Sitcomics are recognisable names, the likes of Ron Frenz, Sal Buscema, Tom Richmond (MAD Magazine), Jeff Shultz (Betty & Veronica), Craig Rousseau (Batman Beyond) and Al Milgrom (The Avengers).

Bleeding Cool will be running a number of free previews — each the size of a normal comic, until the order-cut-off day. We ran the first 20 pages of Start-Up #1 by Darin Henry, Craig Rousseau and Glenn Whitmore yesterday. Today we get 28 pages of Super Suckers #1 by Darin Henry, Jeff Shulz, and Glenn Whitmore:

And if you want a peek at the catalogue yourself, you can do so right here. Another sizeable preview of another title tomorrow.
