Free Comic Book Day has been postponed, but we are offering you our very own version. We'll still have it whenever it is rescheduled, but for now we're doing it with our own comics. And as a matter of fact, May 4th is also Bud's birthday! We've dug up some offbeat things from the warehouse, such as Dick Tracy, H.A.R.D. Corps, Mystery Incorporated, and vintage Valiant titles. Plus we have unopened foil packs of fantasy art cards from nine different artists, from the 1990s. We do ask that you place an order, of any size, to get your freebies—we can't afford to send them out to you without some reimbursement for shipping cost. Place ANY size order and choose THREE free items. Over $25, choose FOUR. Over $50, choose SIX. Only one copy per item please--not 2 of these and six of that. |
|
We want everyone to have a chance to get these. If you place a second or third order, you can do it all again—there is no limit on the number of orders you can place, each getting more items--while supply lasts. If we run out of anything, we'll try and sub in something else. All items qualify for Free Comic Book Day, including closeouts. You can find our latest Spring Sale here and our just-sent Rare & Out of Print email here. Sign up for these and for our occasional Adult emails here. Our latest catalog went online May 1st. Printed copies won't be in customer hands until early in June, but you can download it HERE. |

A Note From the Staff... |
Today is Bud’s birthday, so we wanted to take this moment to express how grateful we are to have the opportunity to be working with him. It is unanimous among the staff here that this is the best job we’ve ever had. Many of us have left and returned, and between us we have 111 years of tenure! We have a casual environment, very cool product, we get along well, but best of all, we have an awesome boss. Bud has always been kind, generous, and always been committed to us, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. He always has time for his employees, friends or customers, even if he is working hard to finish the weekly email. His door has always been open—even during a pandemic. So, thank you Bud for keeping us going, we greatly appreciate it! Happy Birthday Bud!! |
Year unknown - But a long time ago! |
