Artist’s Edition coming next week, I really mean it

The comic book store distributor Diamond has the Peanuts Artist’s Edition on this coming week’s shipping list. That indicates that it is already in their warehouse and is being boxed up now to go out. So it really should hit those comic shops that ordered it (which will be far from all of them, I will note) on Wednesday, June 18th. That doesn’t say exactly when Amazon will be shipping it (at least some of us who ordered The Beagle Has Landed through them go it the day before the comic shops did)… but if you want to preorder it from Amazon, you better hop on that right now!
