Net 30 days for payment(flexible)

“Although we received 1,200 orders for Fearless Dawn #1, we simply didn’t meet Diamond's purchase order benchmark, “ explained Frank Forte Asylum Press CEO. “1200 is a significant order for us especially considering the state of the market place. Good customer service is the key to any successful business and we simply cannot deny demand for our products. Steve Mannion is a master at hilarious in your face fun and we expect this book to do quite well.”

Fearless Dawn #1 is at the printer and ready to print and should be released the end of April. A preview of the book can be found at www.Fearlessdawn.com. FEARLESS DAWN #1 will also be carried by Haven Distributors May catalog (for shipping June 2009). www.havendistro.com.
