Hello! Thank you and sorry for your trouble! Some US readers found a shop called Lireka who does worldwide shipping for free, if you spend 30 euros or more. If there's any other book you fancy that could be the way to go. Otherwise you might just wait a bit. The English translation is certainly something eveyone in the team wants so I think it will happen eventually.

I repet myself a bit perhaps, I only get news when deals are done, and the office dealing with foreign rights sends reports once in a blue moon. There are definitely more than a few countries interested to have their own translation, and the talks have been going on for a while, I assume it won t be long before someone signs something (don t expect that to happen in summer though, everyone s brain is beach mode).

Hei there putting this out because I had some traffic in my DMs and mails which I want to address properly.

The main point is, I am not in charge.

The Lockwood comic is traditional publishing, if you buy a book but didn't get the promotional gadget you dont write to the author, you complain to the seller. The fact I am accessible through SM doesn't mean I can help you in any way. I can only be sad about it but that doesn't help, does it?

The publisher instead is in charge for promotion and any exploitation of my Lockwood related work so if you have a fantastic fan project\initiative\whatever in your mind that's amazing and makes me happy but it's Rue de Sèvres you should contact. I don't have time to vet stuff and people and if any controversy pops out it's their legal team taking action and i cannot afford to be involved in any form independent from them.

It's Rue e Sevres, not Jonathan's reps, who knows the terms I am bond with, so for reference it's always them you have to address to for permission on anything.

Hello and thanks for the question!

It's regular publishing so it should still be available in most french book stores (was released just in January).

If you aren't french i recommend the site Lireka who has international shipping figured out (and for free if you take another book).

If you are Uk based you can contact the Librairie La Page in London who has imported a large stock.

No news about foreign editions yet.

No plans about that sorry! it's already quite a challenge to fit the main books into the given amount of pages.

Next Saturday (25th of April) find Jonathan and me in South Kensington at Librairie La Page at 3pm.

Don t be fooled by the name, it's not a library but a French book shop in London. You can preorder your comic copy and get it signed by both!

If you are UK based and want a comic but can't be there don't worry: they stocked so you don't have to go through custom clearance individually.

Hello and thank you!

Do you maybe know when/if the book will get published in English?

Hello and thank you!

I don't have any insider information sorry, they only tell me once a contract is signed so basically i know it together with everyone else.

The trio and the spam calls (no it's Barnes).
