OK, in our quest to rid ourselves of spam on the AABC site, we accidently deleted GOMD #5. (That’s “Getting Off My Duff #5) No biggie; I’m just glad the Professor’s comic book reviews survived the purge. The spam is interesting though.

Titles like AIRBOY have a great Golden Age (1940’s) appeal, and EX-MUTANTS have, well, that mutated super team flavor we … Continue reading →

I’m always interested in key stock filtering into the store, and I get especially geeked out when the consignor informs me that the comics are 10 cent DC’s from the late Golden and early Silver Age era! He asks if we’re interested in selling these items, and in the words or our immortal ex-president, I say, “Bring ’em on!” And for your perusal, all the books are now priced and on display in the store. The majority of the books … Continue reading →
