Dork Tower #23 and SnapDragons #3 will be going to press soon. Dork Tower #25 will follow close by on its heels.

Dork Tower #25 will INDEED follow close on 23's heels...but not quite as close as Dork Tower 24...which will be the conclusion of a two-part Kayleigh story begun in Dork Tower 23.

The free Dork Tower Frag game from Steve Jackson Games has been postponed from Dork Tower 23 to Dork Tower #25. Dork Tower #25 will be a HUGE issue -- most likely 70 pages. This means we'll need to raise the price on this to $3.99. But with Dork Tower #26 onwards, the price will be back to $2.99. Huzzah!

Free Comic Book Day is May 3, so be sure to stop by your Friendly Neighborhood Comics Store and pick up your free swag! Among the free comics will be The Best of Dork Storm Press #1, chock-full of Dork Tower, Nodwick, SnapDragons and ps238 goodness!

"Understanding Gamers," the fifth Dork Tower trade paperback, will be out in June. Ubergeek and all-around cool guy Wil Wheaton (http://www.wilwheaton.net/ ) is writing the Introduction, and Tech TV's Megan Morrone (see below) has penned just a LOVELY Afterward. This collection will include Dork Tower #18 (with some new material), the Dork Tower Lord of the Rings special, as well as previously comic strips from Dork Tower.com and various magazines.

The sixth Dork Tower trade paperback ("1d6 Degrees of Separation") is scheduled for September. This will collect Dork Tower issues 19 through 24.

Also on the dock (probably in September) is a hardcover version of "Dork Covenant." This will be the first in a series of hardcover releases of all of the trade paperback line. There will be a limited signed, numbered print run as well (either 500 or 1,000 copies -- I haven't decided which yet), but otherwise the non-signed, non-numbered versions will look just as spiffy.

Following this (possibly in October) will be a Wild Life collection, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Muskrat." This will collect all three now-out-of-print Wild Life books, and will include previously uncollected Wild Life strips from it's heyday as a nationally syndicated comic.
