Most comic books sold in most English speaking comic book stores are solicited and distributed through Diamond Comic Distributors. Bigger stores are more likely to use regular bookstore distribution as well. But some only use Previews.

But even some books that Diamond distribute don't make it into Previews. Instead, they pop up in the weeks of Final Order Cut-Off. And sometimes retailers miss them.

This week, there are two books coming through Diamond that way that really shouldn't be missed. The new Dog Man book from Dave Pilkey, one of the most popular English speaking comic books around for the last few years. And a new Attack on Titan prequel volume. Every comic book store should have copies. But some will miss them entirely…

NEIL GAIMAN SLEEPER & THE SPINDLE SC
HARPER COLLINS PUBLISHERS
JAN198509
(W) Neil Gaiman (A) Chris Riddell
New York Times bestselling and Newbery and Carnegie Medal-winning author Neil Gaiman and Kate Greenaway-winning illustrator Chris Riddell have created a thrillingly reimagined fairy tale, an "unabashedly feminist" story told in a way only Gaiman can, perfectly paired with Riddell's "dazzling illustrations" (New York Times Book Review). In this captivating and darkly funny tale, Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell have twisted together the familiar and the new-as well as the beautiful and the wicked-to tell a brilliant version of the stories of Snow White (sort of) and Sleeping Beauty (almost). This story was originally published without illustrations in Rags & Bones (Little, Brown, 2013) and then as an illustrated edition in 2015. Now for the first time, fans can pick up this story in its paperback edition with the same gorgeous gilding.
