Hey Gang, Marsha “broke down” a couple of display cases this week to add some “new” items, if ya’ call 1960’s Silver Age a new item! The case near the poster rack now houses a beautiful display of mid-1960’s Jack Kirby THOR, most in at least the VF 8.0 range. And the case facing you as you walk in from the Central side now features a gorgeous array of Silver Age AMAZING SPIDERMAN! Please check it out. Speaking of Silver Age, our Florida connection (yeah, comics are like drugs!) has sent us another package of mostly SA DC’s! As you’re … Continue reading →

Thirty one years ago tomorrow I married a wonderful woman named Marsha Greenberg. I know it sounds syrupy, but she has been the love of my adult life. Through trials and tribulations, victories and defeats, she’s always been by my side, and for that I feel beyond fortunate.

Howdy Everybody! We’ve been doing some early spring cleaning at the shop, and, guess what? I’ve come across another 4,000 or so comic books stashed away in a corner, just waiting to be “bulked” out! And bulked out they will be. The boxes are now in one of the white bins on the west side of the store, with stickers that read, “10 for Ten Bucks!” Yep, they’re a buck a piece if you buy ten comics from the selection. They’re cover price if you don’t buy ten books, but how could you not find 10 copies out of the … Continue reading →

Currently up for bid, we have such Golden Age items as DETECTIVE COMICS, BLACK HOOD, MORE FUN COMICS, and POPEYE #1, a VF 8.0 copy from 1948!
