We’ll have 50% off all back issues, 10% off everything else in the shop, (including supplies) and thousands of comics in the foyer at only $1.00 each.

First up, we’re excited to annouce that even though there will be no San Diego Comicon this month, we will still have our “Not At Comicon” sale! From Thursday July 22nd to Sunday July 25th we’ll be giving 50% off all back issues, as well as 10% off everything else in the shop. We’ll also be filling up the foyer next to the shop with thousands of comics from our storage locker for only one dollar each. (50 cents each for 100 or more as always.) 50% off back issues will be a rare thing now that the pandemic is fading, so plan to take advantage when it happens! This Friday is (finally) the premiere of the Black Widow movie! I’ve got a free comic to give everyone who stops in starting that day, while supplies last, with a purchase.  Come check out our selection of Black Widow graphic novels too!

Hello from Universal! I’m writing this one from the road so I’ll keep it quick!

Decades variant covers too, so be sure to research the one you want.  Like Neal Adams 1970’s and Gary Frank’s 1980’s.

First off thanks for a great ‘Not Free Comic Day’ event! We had a steady crowd all day, we stayed under the occupancy limits and the whole thing felt really comfortable. We hope everyone got some great deals and found some new stories. It was really awesome for us to see a lot of those small press comics find a good home. All in all I think we sold around 40 long boxes of comics over two days! We can now confidently head into the real FCBD on August 14th with enough funds to make it awesome. Zoe also got to work her first official shift at the comic shop and Carol even came out to watch over her.  We will keep reassessing what Free Comic Book Day will look like as the restrictions lift, but for now we know it’s at least Free Comics, Chris Claremont and an Art Show.  Now on to this week’s featured new releases! MARVEL COMICS Marvel has an ambitious project out front this month with the weekly Heroes Reborn seven issue mini series by...
