Time Capsule: The Tip Sheet 1, January 1989

A continued look at pre-internet publisher’s comics solicitations, this time: The (Dark Horse) Tip Sheet 1, January 1989.

This appears to be Dark Horse’s first free solicitation newsletter, of which I have only the first two. Not sure if it continued on in this format until Dark Horse Insider was launched in July 1989.

A very small showing: six monthlies and three collected editions. Immediate value provided through the creator biography on the cover of Johji Manabe.
