MARVEL COMICS DAMAGE ADVISORY

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I just received an email from Diamond Comic Distributors that affects you our Marvel Comics readers directly and I'm a firm believer on that you should have this info as quickly as possible.  So, without further a due here is the email I received.

Dear Diamond Customer:

Due to a serious accident involving the truck transporting Marvel Comics titles from the printer to Diamond's Distribution Centers, several Marvel titles were damaged or lost.

As a result, orders for several Marvel titles that were scheduled to arrive on February 3 will not be filled in full.

The situation affects three groups of titles.

***** GROUP ONE
Customers will be allocated to approximately 80%-95% of their total ordered quantities on the following Marvel books.

PLATTSBURGH CUSTOMERS, PLEASE NOTE: While a significant portion of your orders for these titles (about 60%-90%) will ship to you on February 3, you will receive some quantities of these titles ONE WEEK LATER, on February 10.
