3. How do I order the products I see on PREVIEWSworld.com?

Because our publisher, Diamond Comic Distributors, is a wholesaler, we sell ONLY to retailers—in other words, the comic book store where you buy your comics. If you want to order the items you see on PREVIEWSworld.com, there are a couple of ways to go about it. The first thing to do is to note the item codes provided on PREVIEWSworld.com.

If you do not know of a comic book specialty store near you, you can use the Comic Shop Locator Service for the location of the stores in your area.

4. Why are there only selected items from PREVIEWS on PREVIEWSworld.com?

Every month, the printed PREVIEWS catalog lists close to 3,500 individual items, many with lengthy write-ups and full-color graphics. To put all 3,500 items on the Web would be a monumental undertaking and would lead to excessive download times.

Instead, we show the top items—GEMs of the Month from our Premier Publishers, and Featured Items from the rest of the catalog—so that you can get an advance look at the latest and greatest hot items. With our extensive editorial coverage—including a complete listing of the Splash Page, Certified Cool, selected publisher editorial, and other features—you get a broad and inclusive overview of the entire catalog.

And don't forget—with the PREVIEWS Order Form available in PDF format and as a plain text file, you have a convenient listing of every single item in the catalog, organized just as it appears in PREVIEWS!
