Ship Carrying Fantagraphics Books Struck by Missile in Strait of Hormuz

Michael Catron, co-founder of Fantagraphic Books, has announced that two of their full print runs of The Atlas Comics Library No. 9: Adventures Into Weird Worlds Vol. 1 and Bitchy! The Exasperating Existence of Midge McCracken were aboard a cargo ship that was struck in or near the Strait of Hormuz. The books were printed in India and were bound for New York.
From the Michael’s Facebook post:
The report we have is that the ship has limped to a safe port, where we await further news. Our thoughts are with the crew, and we hope and pray for their safety.
Both books had been scheduled to go on sale in early June, but that timeframe now seems unlikely. If the books themselves were not damaged and the crippled ship’s cargo can be offloaded to another vessel and that vessel can then safely exit the danger zone, it could add a month or more to the delivery time.
Fantagraphic can only speculate that the cargo ship, after leaving India entered in or near the to pick up additional cargo bound for the U.S.
