So Alan has been completely inundated with collections the last couple of weeks so he asked me to fill in.  Just to bring you up to date we’ve received approximately 8000 back issue comics in the last couple of weeks and have 2 more collections arriving in the next week or so.

Check out the next auction which begins tomorrow night for some of these gems including Amazing Spider-man #129 (which … Continue reading →

Okay, so Alan has been busy getting off his duff working on tons of comic collections so I’m writing his blog tonight:) We have been busy rearranging the store again.  The majority of the great cover price comics that used to be at the front of the store are now at the back of the store. Dan just refilled them with a full selection of VF/NM warehouse copies of Teen Titans at cover price.  The T-shirts are now near the front of the store. Speaking of T-shirts. We are being restocked tomorrow on our store All About Comics shirts in … Continue reading →
