 Lightningstrike Publishing has announced that the delayed Independent Glimpse will be launched in a new format with a two pronged approach. The magazine was originally slated to be released in mid-January as a bi monthly, 56- page, newspaper style, and entertainment magazine.
The magazine will still focus on arts and entertainment news and interviews from the world of indie comics, as well as film and music from time-to-time.
The new format will see an e-version of the magazine launched February 2nd 2004. The online version of Independent Glimpse will be located on the Lightningstrike website. It will contain the full distribution catalogue which retailers can use to place orders and fans can download forms from to bring to their local comic store.
The second prong of the mag's new print format will be smaller & monthly. It will contain 24 pages, consisting of one feature article and interview per issue and an abbreviated version of the catalogue. This version will be black and white and mini-comic sized [5.5"x8.5"]. It will be sent to retailers to be made available for free to readers in stores.
"We hope to work back up to the larger format once this proves successful" Says publisher Mike Gagnon. "We've had a good magazine ready to print for a long time now. We can't be delayed by sponsors who don't keep to their word any longer."
The new Independent Glimpse format should hit stores in early February. For future updates check www.lightningstrike.ca
