With a one week delay already in place for UK comic readers, news arrives that storms in Maryland and Pennsylvania have affected the distribution process, meaning comic orders including next weeks 20th July releases, will be delayed in the US and beyond. PRH issued this message regarding the situation.
Hello Retailers,
We wanted to let you know that we experienced severe thunderstorms in the Maryland and Pennsylvania areas last night that downed trees and took out power in many areas. Unfortunately that includes our Hampstead facility, which lost power yesterday afternoon and has not yet been restored.
As you may know, all comic shipments are processed out of our Hampstead facility. As of right now we’re not able to ship out of that facility, so some comic orders—including July 20th releases—will unfortunately be delayed.
Graphic novels, manga, and book products that ship from our other facilities have not been impacted at this time.
The main street leading to the Hampstead facility is being cleared of trees and debris, and we are working as quickly as possible to have power restored so we can resume processing. We will continue to keep you updated as we get more information.
Thank you, – The US Direct Market Sales Team
