Okay, so I just ran that Harley Quinn Statue story, but here's another distribution disaster story.

Providence #10 was published in October, the latest in Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows' reworking of the HP Lovecraft stories into one big historical inspiration for them all.

Avatar Press, publishers of Bleeding Cool, also publish this series – and many others – with multiple covers, for the collector market. They also print limited number variants at higher prices.

Such as their Weird Pulp covers by Jacen Burrows. Limited to 750 copies and sold in stores for $9.99 each.

Except the Weird Pulp cover for Providence #10 saw 97% of all copies ordered by stores through Diamond – 85% of all printed copies – lost. Somewhere. Which means less than 15 copies made it to stores in that fashion…
