Hey Gang! Lots to tell you this week, so bear with me while I try to be succinct! We received a really beautiful selection of Silver to Modern age CGC books in this last Saturday, and the books are on display in a Central side glass display case, waiting for collectors of high end books to come in and drool! (and hopefully purchase!) Of keynote to mention, there’s a copy of THE ATOM #1 from the Silver Age, along with TWO copies of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #2 from 1960, and TWO copies of SHOWCASE #60, with the first Silver … Continue reading →

My pretty little Marsha has been pinch hitting for me lately, so here I go to get back into the swing of things! Eddie and I “broke down” the two back issue tables today to make room for…sigh…yet another back issue collection just acquired. This collection is 12 long white boxes of mostly modern back issues, bagged and boarded, and heavy with Marvel and DC titles.

Please, next time you’re in, have a browse…so I can add more! The 25% off high end Silver Age FANTASTIC FOUR case ceases to exist tomorrow, and … Continue reading →

Eddie, Phil and I will be tending shop (along with Marsha on Wednesday) while Dan and Ashley head off for some comic fun in the sand and sun of SD! And, as usual, we’re packed to the gills with great stock in the store. If you’re not attending the con this year, and you’re just dying to spend your hard earned cash on some books, come in and talk to the Bald One. I’ll be glad to … Continue reading →

Well, is it hot enough outside for everyone? Then come into the store tomorrow for a really cool item. (Gee, how lame is that lead-in?) Really though guys and girls; the biggest book of the summer is being released tomorrow. And that book is BLACKEST NIGHT #1! The prophecy of the Book of Oa in GREEN LANTERN finally comes to light, leading into one of the best story lines DC has done in years! And for the first 100 people that come in and buy a copy of this great book, a BLACKEST NIGHT RING is yours to be had … Continue reading →
