Title: Meg 237 - Printing Error
Post by: Robo-K33F on 19 September, 2005, 08:16:15 PM
Our printers have discovered an error in Meg 237, in which pages 17 & 18 have been duplicated and the last two pages of the Simping Detective are missing.

This is now being rectified and Meg 237 is going back to print.  This does mean that the Meg will go on sale a few days later than scheduled.

All subscribers will be sent another corrected copy.

Apologies for this.

This really ought to be on the front page too - most visitors to this site don't look at the messageboard.  I hope.

Of course the only people you would need to reach would be subscribers to the Judge Dredd Megazine who don't read the message board.

Cheers,

The speedy response to this issue is much appreciated, as is the promise of a shiny new proper copy.

This level of support for your fanbase (ie customers) is (in my experience) unique.

Cheers.

Awww! That's sweet of you, but you don't need to send me a new version - I've got the Bish-Op article and the Wagner/Flint Dredd, so I'm happy. After all, I'm only missing something by those hapless nobodies Spurrier and Irving, who no one's ever heard of anyway...  ;)




WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CAR PARK WITH THE PISSING JIMP?!?! I MUST KNOW!!!

Went to pick mine up today, and it was the knacked version. Left it in the shop. I'll drop back in later this week to get the "fixed" version. Was the prog botched as well, or has my thrill-merchant got it horribly wrong & binned the wrong comics?

The prog was fine, your thrill merchant got it horribly wrong.

I'm on subscription and received the Megazine with the printing error. But I have yet to receive the corrected copy or my 2000AD.

McNulty -

I haven't got mine either, but since the problem was only discovered on Monday, I suspect we may get a replacement with the new issue of 2K tomorrow.

Post by: Noisybast on 27 September, 2005, 06:56:56 PM
Still no sign of the replacement Meg in my local thrill-binning prog shop. Any idea what's happening with this?
Title: Re: Meg 237 - Printing Error.........
Post by: The Amstor Computer on 27 September, 2005, 07:18:04 PM
No sign of a replacement Meg here, either.

Not in my local newsagents either. I also contacted a well-known comics store and they said it was delayed.

I'm repeating myself from another thread, but there are copies of the duff-Meg in Forbidden Planet, Edinburgh.
