Hi Comic Shop Friends! A couple of updates before we get to the new comics. You may have heard that while on vacation at the Dirty Dancing filming location, Carol broke a femur. Carol is doing well post-surgery, but because she’s in another state, John is working out getting her back home this week. John thanks everyone for their kind words, and as he says, “We had a good run before she fell in the evening. We even got her out to the dried-up lake where Johnny Castle did the lift in the water, so she stood on the exact same cinder blocks Patrick Swayze stood on in the scene.” That does mean that John will not be at this month’s events that he was looking forward to.  Send some good vibes for a safe trip back home for them, and a great recovery for Carol! So, John won’t be co-hosting this Wednesday’s Midnight Rental Secret Screening, but Ben will still be there! Stop out to the Grog Shop at 8pm for a surprise movie! Doors at 7pm, only $10!...

You wanted fresh dollar stock, and you got it! As always, all back issues will be 50% off, including the wall.
