Celebrate Issue #10 with the "TWIN SCUMMS" Sale
Tramping through the desert—throat parched, skin baking—you look up at the unkind sun as it rains heat down on your brow. But wait… what's that? Next to the sun, something else, small now, but… growing?
A meteor? A spaceship? An unnoticed binary star? NO! It's Planet Scumm, with a double-shot of cooling, weaponized gel aimed squarely at your heat-addled brain. It's the "Twin Scumms" sale, celebrating our first double-digit double issue!
For $12 you can to preorder our upcoming tenth issue, "Supergiant-X," (releasing on April 1st) AND receive a free copy of a Planet Scumm back issue. That's a full ten US dollars of savings!
This issue is a big one for us at Planet Scumm, figuratively and literally. "Supergiant-X" is, in a way, confirmation for us that this magazine really has legs. (Or pseudopods, or cilia, or whatever.) But it's also just a big, bad (good-bad, not bad-bad) double-issue, with the full spectrum of thought-provoking science fiction you can expect from Planet Scumm. Inside, we’ve got:
I mean, truly, how incredible is this Issue #10 cover art? See the full thing here.
Lauren O' Donaghue's "Thessaly" hiking side-by-side with Ben Hennesy's "Abridged History of the End of the World"
Joachim Heijndermans' "A Little Galaxy" running a partnered stream with Joe Anderson's "Desert Man"
Christopher Moylan's "The Door Man" next door to Stefan Sokoloski's "Katu and the Eye of Flesh"
Matthew Hornsby's "Deep Clean" pulling a double-shift with Sam Rebelein's "Hector Brim"
Ashley Naftule's "A Thousand Cranes of Blood and Steel" modeling the latest fashions for Joshuah Stolaroff's "Ghosts of Lone Pine"
"Supergiant-X" is also the most visually inventive issue we've released to date, and includes artwork from Erika Schnatz, Maura "Moe" McGonagle, Clare Fuller and Camille Villanueva, in addition to work from Planet Scumm's longtime illustrator Sam Rheaume and Creative Director Alyssa Alarcón Santo.
So what are you waiting for? The twin halves of this deal can't orbit one another indefinitely! (Or maybe they can? The Wikipedia page for "Binary star" was pretty dense so we just sort of skimmed it.) Pre-order Planet Scumm Issue #10, "Supergiant-X," for $12 now and spend the time waiting for its official April release reading your choice of a back issue. Order now and let the "Twin Scumms" light your way!
