Ssalefish GSO First Look #55 for 4.18.18

550.jpg

Today marks our official one year anniversary! In that time, we've been open 363 out of 365 days, we opened late, closed early, and left the shop in Bret's hands a full day once each. I'd like to take more time to pontificate some more stats, but we've got 12,000 Free Comic Book Day books waiting at the back door to be counted and stamped, plus you'd probably rather hear about...

Our Action Comics #1000 Midnight Release Party! We'll be kicking things off on Tuesday night, April 17th at 11 PM! Chris Giarrusso and Brian "Smitty" Smith will both be on hand to do custom sketch covers and commissions (they'll also be happy to sign Encounter, SpongeBob, G-Man, Stuff of Legend, and any of their other work you have already or would like to purchase)! We'll have Jim Lee's standard cover available and the full compliment of variants for your perusal, including:

  • The 1930s Steve Rude (Nexus) Variant
  • The 1940s Michael Cho (Batwoman) Variant
  • The 1950s Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) Variant
  • The 1960s Mike Allred (Madman) Variant
  • The 1970s Jim Steranko (Nick Fury) Variant
  • The 1980s Joshua Middleton (NYX) Variant
  • The 1990s Dan Jurgens (Booster Gold) Variant
  • The 2000s Lee Bermejo (Joker) Variant

And we'll be offering Buy One, Get One FREE on all Action Comics & Superman-related back issues, toys, and graphic novels for the whole hour! At 8 AM when we open for the full day, they're back up to full price!

You can also pick up all of your comics for the week and free up your Wednesday for reading!
