GETTING OFF My Duff #6

OK, in our quest to rid ourselves of spam on the AABC site, we accidently deleted GOMD #5. (That’s “Getting Off My Duff #5) No biggie; I’m just glad the Professor’s comic book reviews survived the purge. The spam is interesting though. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to invest into a bank in Nigeria, or supply some extra length and girth to my, oh, forget it. Collections are pouring in faster than I can keep up with. A collection of 2,500 mostly Marvel and DC books is rapidly becoming 100 to 150 lot sets at bargain prices … Continue reading

Getting off My Duff #4

I’m REALLY trying to get off my duff today, dealing with this insufferable cold and cough I’ve had for the last three weeks. Take your vitamins boys and girls. In other news, we’ve acquired another collection from a long ago customer. The daughter of this particular gentleman is selling her father’s collection to help pay for her college tuition, an admirable goal. We’ve pulled some of the cream of the crop from this collection, and these items will be on display for your Wednesday new comic day perusal. More than 200 Trade Paperbacks and Hardbacks will be featured, with the … Continue reading

Most of you are probably aware that ALL ABOUT BOOKS AND COMICS has been around a long time. To be exact, since 1973! Needless to say, we have accumulated a lot of stock.

So this mail order customer of ours calls from Florida and inquires about selling some of his comics on consignment. I’m always interested in key stock filtering into the store, and I get especially geeked out when the consignor informs me that the comics are 10 cent DC’s from the late Golden and early Silver Age era! He asks if we’re interested in selling these items, and in the words or our immortal ex-president, I say, “Bring ’em on!” And for your perusal, all the books are now priced and on display in the store. The majority of the books … Continue reading

Getting Off My Duff #1

Alright, so I made a commitment that every week I need to correspond with my loyal AABC customer base, so if you see me slacking, I encourage you to let me know! My intention is to keep all of you better informed of new additions, new stock, and just general changes within the store. I’ll be brief and to the point, so check back with me (a.k.a, Alan) every Tuesday for a bit of comic book info and general tomfoolery. In case you haven’t noticed yet, our long-time outside sign artist has resurfaced, and has outdone himself with a beautiful … Continue reading
