Hello Friends!
Welcome to the first Blue Book Bulletin! Bite-sized bits of True Weird UFO Knowhow! We’re cooking up a few of these so that you keep getting morsels even when we can’t provide you with a full meal. We’ll be back to the story of Betty and Barney Hill in just a couple of weeks!
I’m going to be dropping some exclusive comic books on my web store next week, both of which will be announced here in this newsletter. RAZORBLADES: THE HORROR MAGAZINE #5 is going to drop on Monday. And then, I’m going to be dropping my very own HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER #1 cover in celebration of the launch of the series on Wednesday. I’m going to try to have both posts up by 10:30AM ET on their respective days, and I just want you all to know that I will only have a limited supply of each comic available. So snag a copy while supplies last.
I’ll also be spending my weekend going over all of the comments on Monday’s Tiny Update to verify folks who submitted their Onion Club/Day One survey. If you received the email, but have been putting that off for some reason, go fill the survey out now!
Also: I have a 3/4 written Thinking Bat Thoughts post that will drop SOON. Thanks for bearing with me as I dig myself out of my deadline hole. Lining up lots of REALLY COOL SHIT for all of you. The next phase of this newsletter is taking shape behind the scenes and it’s going to be VERY exciting.
Speaking of very exciting, I’m going to go see DUNE tonight.
I hope you have a great weekend, too.

Answering some of the questions asked here - I have TWO Tiny Onion Exclusive covers for HOS. One of which is only available for Onion Club members and will never be put on sale. The other will be open to order on my webstore, and that's the one that will "drop" online.
I am working to transition my online store to a new platform (where I'm getting some help so I'm not doing it all myself like I have been the last year), when I transition to the new platform I'm going to be able to give early access (and it won't just be to variants - I have a whole merch program I've been developing that paid subscribers will get early access to). I have some new folks on staff dedicated entirely to that process.
I was hoping to have that all ready before the HOS launch, but it's looking like that's going to be another month or so before I can port everything over to the new store. So I figured I'd make this first drop open wide because it's not indicative of how the whole system will run when it's fully operational.
Thank you for bearing with me.
I appreciate the similarities with the old Ripley’s “Believe it, or not” style graphics like they had in newspapers. Good stuff.
