Previews

Previews is a long-running, multi-volume promotional catalogue published by Diamond Comic Distributors. It was first published in January 1989.

The publication is primarily aimed at comic shop owners and serves as a means for publishers to promote their new comics; the catalogue includes advance solicitations with descriptions of upcoming releases (in order of publishing company) and an order form that can be filled out by shop owners to order stock for their customers.^[1] Starting with Volume 3, the catalogue also began including original comic stories from various publishers in serialized form, consisting of brief, two-page episodes in each issue; these included Aliens and Aliens vs. Predator stories from Dark Horse Comics.^[1]
