Though graded a strict VG+ 4.5, it appears nicer.  Flat with great color luster!  A truly key book!  This and the many of the other goodies in this collection have been graded, priced and put out … Continue reading →

Hey Everybody, Alan is busy sorting, pricing, sorting, pricing, sorting, pricing……you get the drill. So I thought I’d write the blog this week and fill you in on what is going on at the store this week. This Wed. is the arrival of the much anticipated Captain America Reborn #1. This comic is expected to be the hottest book of the summer.  With a great creative team of writer Ed Brubaker and artist Bryan Hitch it is sure to be a must read.  There will be a 50/50 cover split with a Bryan Hitch cover and an Alex Ross cover … Continue reading →
