Welcome back to ’Warped Week, a recap of what we’ve been up to at ’Warp Central during the past seven days. If you missed anything, now’s the perfect time to catch up!
Going all the way back to July 1st, we notified you about our involvement in the ninth annual Summer/Winter Sale at e-book distributor Smashwords. All month long, you’ll be able to purchase the SWC titles Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1; Blood Reign: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 2, For a Few Gold Pieces More, and Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination at a special 25% discount. You’ll need two things to make purchases: a (free) Smashwords account and the coupon codes for the discounts. Head over to the July 1st post for the coupon codes and the link to our Smashwords store.
Last Sunday, July 16, as War for the Planet of the Apes was battling Spider-Man: Homecoming for box-office supremacy (and ultimately winning), we plugged The Bob Larkin Sketchbook, our collection of pencil drawings by the legendary cover painter for Star Wars, Doc Savage, The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Star Trek, Spider-Man, and (you guessed it) Planet of the Apes.
On Monday, July 17, we took a look at Tales to Sorta Tremble By, our upcoming second SWC Horror Bite. It’s a collection of 1950s short stories (very short) that ran in horror comics from what are now long-defunct publishing houses—gone, but certainly not forgotten!
Tuesday, July 18, was the release date for the movie Kong: Skull Island on Blu-Ray and DVD, so it was the perfect time to remind you of all the movie, comic, and book reviews I did for my Simian Saturdays series—not to mention remind you about our e-book-exclusive Illustrated Classic edition of the 1932 novelization of the original King Kong!
On Wednesday, July 19, we examined Gabriel Grub and the Goblins, our SWC Horror Bite for December. This classic tale by Charles Dickens involves a surly gravedigger who spends his Christmas Eve being harassed by a pack of equally surly goblins that don’t like anyone who hates the holidays.
Thursday the 20th we notified you about my latest review for the new site Comics for Sinners: Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor: Year 3 #5, which sees the Titan Comics debut of Bill Potts, the popular Season 10 companion played by Pearl Mackie who left the TARDIS at the end of the season. And that, of course, meant I could get a plug in for my Saga of Pandora Zwieback novels and comics, since DW was one of my inspirations for Pan’s adventures.
And yesterday we told you about another e-book sale we’re involved in: DriveThru Fiction’s Christmas in July. From now through July 31, you can purchase a majority of our titles—books, comics, and graphic novels—at a 25% discount. Of course you’ll need a DriveThru account to make purchases, but it’s free, so sign up today and get to buying!
And that’s the week. What’s coming next? You’ll have to keep checking this blog during the days ahead. See you then!
