Ordering the New Octopus Pie Book at Your Comic Shop!
Short version: During the month of April you can order Octopus Pie: There Are No Stars in Brooklyn from your local comic shop by asking them to order Diamond code APR101114! Yay!
Folks, I’ve been blown away by the outpouring of enthusiasm and support over the new book. I’m so glad readers are as excited as I am about this thing. Truthfully, at first I was pretty anxious about OP’s jump into the big time publishing industry. This little webcomic means a lot to me, and exposing it to a general audience is something I can’t say I ever expected to do. But I know going in that the readership and my peers are on my side. I expect the book’s release this summer to be completely awesome.
I’m happy to say there’s now another way to support not only the comic, but your local comic shop as well. Octopus Pie: There Are No Stars in Brooklyn is featured in Diamond’s PREVIEWS for the month of April!
Just tell your friendly comic shop owner that you’d enjoy — nay, LOVE — if they placed an order for Diamond code APR101114 on your behalf. They will know the deal.
And please feel free to let me know in the comments which shop you’re ordering from! I’m in the tentative stages of fleshing out a book tour, and this information would be very useful to me. Thanks guys!

How close to being done is the next storyline, you ask? So close you can smell it! I’m starting on the inking stage tomorrow, which means things will move speedily from here. ETA in my next post!
Woohoo!
I wait with bated breath.
I’ve been telling people about this in the shop! Hopefully we’ll drum up some more preorders. WOOT!
Ooh! I can do this in Canada as well?
totally!
D’aw I preordered online but I will try to attend if you do a place in/near Indianapolis like Chicago or Cincinnati!
My old standby is Westfield Comics in Madison, WI. I don’t live there now, but I get plenty of specialty stuff from there, and they try to stay up on the indie scene.
Is it lazy to ask that I buy it when you’re in Toronto for TCAF? I totally hate Paypal and Visa right now…
I won’t have it in time for TCAF. Sorry.
can i do this from australia?? ;___;
Ordering it from floating world comic books in Portland. Please start the book tour there! Please oh please oh please?
Hey! Just thought I’d let you know that I’m placing an order through my friendly neighborhood comic shop, First Aid Comics. It’s in Hyde Park, Chicago, IL at 1459 E 53rd St, 60615.
I’m not sure how this helps you, but since you asked, there you go. Congratulations!
Hallo! I’m ordering a copy through the comic shop where I also happen to work, and I wanted to let you know we’d be stoked to host you for a signing
It’s Alakazam Comics in Irvine, CA (about halfway between LA and SD)
Please keep us in mind for when you get around to the planning stages!
Thanks and you are awesome.
Limited Edition Comics and Collectibles in Cedar Falls, IA. Run by a wonderful man named Rob who has been a huge help when I’m looking for stuff a little less mainstream. It’s a great place to have in a smaller city like Cedar Falls, and I love having it around.
