As promised, here are my colors on Smitty’s Rick & Morty test piece! It took me until I was doing the sack color holds near Morty’s hand to realize that he was inside the fish, but that’s where that mostly transparent color overlay on him helps tell the story!
Read MorePosting a little late today because I was throwing some color on the homage to our Ssalefish exclusive Umbrella Academy Hotel Oblivion #1 variant by Francesco Francavilla that Chris Giarrusso drew for me as a Christmas present!*
Greensboro Comicon is really this weekend! We’re once again a co-sponsor of our hometown show, primarily presented by Ultimate Comics out of Durham, Cary & Raleigh. We’re rolling out our usual set-up, with thirty-one long boxes of $1 comics (or 20 for $10), six boxes of $5 graphic novels (or 5 for $20), two boxes of complete sets (priced as marked), three master cases of $5 Pops (or 5 for $20), and the combined might of the GSO and Winston backwall!
Read MoreThe thing I was most struck by when scrolling through our Instagram feed yesterday morning was just how many key books we bought and sold over 2018, and that’s just when I remembered to take pictures!
We’re happy to hunt down anything you’ve been after (there’s a Werewolf by Night #32 on that list that never made it to the sales floor, just straight on to a customer that had asked us to track it down)!
In case you ever wondered, we’re ALWAYS buying, so feel free to bring ANYTHING up here for us to look at and possible make an offer!
Read MoreDespite the disclaimer jargon below, our new releases are already in-house, so no need to worry about delayed delivery due to New Years, and, as I stated last week, our hours of operation will be normal despite the holiday!
Which brings us to tomorrow’s festivities, The After Christmas Stan Lee Birthday Sale! Buy One • Get One FREE Funko Pops, Buy Two • Get One FREE graphic novels, statues and toys OR Buy Five • Get Five FREE graphic novels, statues and toys to mark what would have been Stan’s 96th birthday!
Read MoreMerry Christmas! Our holiday hours are as follows:
12.24.18 • 11 AM - 3 PM
12.25.18 • CLOSED!!!
12.26.18 • Normal 8 AM - 8 PM
That’s it! Other than that, we’ll be here regular business hours, including on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day! But, next week’s new releases are what we call in the business a “skip week.” In other words, spend those gift certificates on a graphic novel, back issue or statue that you’ve had your eye on in addition to your sparse new releases and keep an eye out for a few flash sales!
Read MoreThis weekend’s holiday festivities include a middle-aged dude hangout downtown tomorrow night, the Comics For Kids Sale ($1 Comics, $5 graphic novels or 5 for $20, $5 Funko Pops or 5 for $20, $5 Star Wars figures) at Geeksboro Battle Pub on Saturday from 9 AM - 2 PM, the Running of the Balls on Saturday night in Sunset Hills, and possibly a trip down to Charlotte to see baby Ellie on Sunday morning!
Read MoreWe’re prepping for our Comics For Kids Sale this Sunday from 1-7 PM at Geeksboro Battle Pub, located at 2618 Lawndale Drive! This will be about 6,500 $1 Books, plus our enhanced stock of $5 graphic novels (or 5 for $20), new $5 Pops (or 5 for $20), and comic sets, and the best part is that 100% of all of the proceeds from the event will go to purchase brand-new, all-ages books for kids throughout Guilford, Davidson, and Forsyth County!
Read MoreI’m glad everyone enjoyed the Black Friday & Small Business Saturday sales last weekend! We’ve fully re-stocked all of the graphic novels that you guys picked up, but it will take us a couple of week to recover from being cleaned out of every Dragonball figurine we had on hand and John’s record-setting Buy 6 Get 6 Free statue purchase!
Read MoreI’m pumped to finally reveal our Black Friday & Small Business Saturday sales for 2018! Basically, I kept just pushing how deep our discounts were in an attempt to give Bret a heart attack, including increasing all of our back issue deals by 10% since sharing a proof of our ads with him last night, but he never said again, so here we are!
