Surprise, surprise. Alan is busy pricing two more collections yet again! He is busy grading and pricing a nice collection of Golden Age Westerns and a smattering of Silver Age DC’s to have ready for your perusal by tomorrow for new comic day! And if that isn’t enticing enough, this week is going to be HUGE! We are getting tons of new comics, tons of specialty items, new statues, action figures and tons of restocks on comic supplies. Yes, we are finally getting restocked on modern age backing boards:) So what does that mean? We have an enormous amount of … 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. Here’s a quick alphabetical breakdown of some of the key titles: ALPHA FLIGHT #1-130, ARION #1-35, EXCALIBUR #1-125, GENERATION X #1-50, GREEN ARROW #1-79, mostly complete, a slew of KAMANDI #1-59, MASTER OF KUNG-FU … Continue reading →

Alan and I were up at 4 am today! Why in the world would two night owls (namely Alan and Marsha), get up so early?  Our local NBC affiliate, channel 12 came out to do a live feed at the store for their 5:30 AM news slot.  Why did channel 12 come out, you ask?  To discuss tonight’s big Marvel 70th Anniversary Bash at All About of course! If you want to see the news clip you can access it HERE (just click on the video titled comic anniversary on the right side of the page).  There is a follow … Continue reading →

For some reason Alan is up to his ears sorting and pricing (again!) so I thought I’d jump in and write this week’s blog. The big news is that we are one week out from our big MARVEL 70TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY!  If you haven’t heard about it yet, All About Books & Comics, in association with Marvel Comics is hosting the official Marvel 70th Anniversary Party next Tuesday, August 11th.   Fans are invited to come and be a part of one of the biggest events in comic history as Marvel celebrates 70 years with a once in a life-time event … Continue reading →

Do I really have to keep mentioning how many “comic sets” or packets the store has in stock right now? The answer is yes. There are literally hundreds of great lots available right now, with the majority facing the north wall of Trade Paperbacks. For the comic book “purist”, many of these original sets are priced LOWER than the TPB they are featured in! Absolutely wonderful deals, if I may be so biased. 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 →
