TwoMorrows is the publisher that treats comics history like it actually matters. They specialize in the deep‑dive magazines fans pass around like treasure — Back Issue! for the Bronze Age obsessives, Alter Ego for Golden and Silver Age purists, RetroFan for pop‑culture archaeologists — along with an entire library of creator biographies,
art books, and production histories that no one else bothers to make. They’re the people preserving the stories behind the stories: how the books were made, who shaped them, and why certain eras still resonate.
What’s fantastic about them is the focus. TwoMorrows doesn’t chase trends; they document the medium. If you want to understand the craft behind Kirby’s dynamism, the editorial quirks of DC in the ’70s, the rise of independent creators, or the forgotten corners of fandom, they’re the publisher doing that work. They give fans a place to learn, to rediscover, and to appreciate comics as an art form with a real, living history — not just a monthly release schedule.
Admittedly, I have often joked that I need to send them a check each month for the number of times I use something Tomorrow for research purposes or to cross-check some facts. They are, hands down, my first place to go for research.
Now, through July 10th, is a perfect time to stock up on some TwoMorrows or check them out if you’ve never gotten anything from there. They are having the most amazing, fantastic $4.00 sale. There’s a nice selection from Alter Ego, RetroFan, and Draw magazines. Now, keep in mind—these are for the print editions! But you do get the digital copies anyway when you place an order.
The really fantastic bargain is the World of TwoMorrows, which usually runs almost $40, but you get it for four bucks! It is both a victory lap and a love letter — a big,
generous anniversary volume that shows exactly why the publisher matters. It pulls together the full sweep of what they’ve built: the magazines that became essential
reading, the creator biographies that rescued whole careers from obscurity, the art books that treated the craft of comics with museum‑level respect, and the oddball passion projects that only TwoMorrows would take a chance on. What’s striking is how clearly the book illustrates their mission. You see the editors, writers, and historians who shaped the line; the creators who trusted them with their stories; and the fans who kept the conversation going. It’s a guided tour through the corners of comics culture they’ve spent decades preserving.
More than an anniversary marker, the book reads like a map of modern comics scholarship. Every chapter reminds you how much of the medium’s history would have slipped away without TwoMorrows documenting it — the interviews, the production art, the behind‑the‑scenes accounts, the eras that needed champions. World of TwoMorrows shows the publisher doing what it does best: celebrating the people who made comics worth caring about and proving that the past is still rich, still surprising, and still worth exploring.
