I think it's too early to tell yet whether sales of Swallowing the Earth will be encouraging enough to prompt DMP to consider publishing more Tezuka. Obviously, if we're forced to go back to press, etc., that would be a good sign. I know that our CEO, Hikaru Sasahara, is a major Tezuka fan from his childhood days, and a lot of people in our office are big fans, too. So the willingness is there, if nothing else.
We really appreciated Fred Schodt agreeing to write a foreword for us. His context about the period the story was originally published in is indispensable, I think. Hopefully, Fred likes the copy I sent him!

About the new reprint, it will be a "normal" reprint or it will be limited to backers only?
Thanks : )

Hi ick... my understanding (and I'm pretty confident of it) is that Swallowing the Earth is now considered back in print everywhere. That means it'll be on Amazon soon (if not already). The Kickstarter program was such a huge success it effectively replenished the entire backstock at DMP.

Yeah, I see.
Now the problem is that I'm Italian and the best choice for me it's to buy from UK retailer. Currently neither on amazon.co.uk nor on bookdepisotory (the two well-known and affidable and reliable around) Swallowing the Earth is available. I've contacted DMP directly and they have suggested me to try "http://www.up1.co.uk" where indeed it's available but they never reply to my mail about shipping to Italy : (
What do you suggest? To wait for the title to be available on amazon or boodepository? Do you know a UK retailer (or, at least, UE based) that sells it?
Thanks : D
EDIT: Forget it!
Ordered from up1.co.uk, 17£ (shipping to Italy included). Great : D
