over here with the other Snyder/Ditko publications, now by popular demand accepting PayPal. Retailers who are interested in making the books available to their customers should contact Snyder for wholesale rates.
Snyder informs me that a few more of their older issues have gone out of print (ACT 3 and #20), so don't hesitate if there's anything you need. On the flip side, there are new editions of some of the FOUR-PAGE SERIES issues available, #5 and #6, which are available for US$1.50 postpaid (US$2.50 international).
I remember there was a reprint of some Konga material from Snyder that had to use the name "The Lonely One" because Joe Gill and Ditko didn't own the Konga name (a movie studio did). Unless Konga the name has fallen into the public domain (or Snyder somehow licensed it for one-time use) I wonder how it can appear under the Konga name.
