Haha, yeah, rolling the dice is a bit dramatic. Not in a rush, just trying to figure out what to expect and the best way to ship when I do.

Thanks, Malvin. Do you forgo shipping insurance because your collection is insured anyway, or are you just rolling the dice? Was thinking Fedex based on the delays in the postal stream right now. You had no issues with the stuff in the current auction?

Does anyone have experience shipping artwork to ComicLink from outside of the US (Canada)? What service did you use? How did taxes on import to US (if any) get handled? Was any special documentation required as it was being imported for auction (final value TBD)? How did you handle shipping insurance? Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience with cleaning and pressing ashcans? I have a few (formerly) white Youngblood #1 ashcans that could use some work, but not sure how they would hold up given the different paper stock. Not sure that cleaning would actually accomplish much with the rougher paper anyway. Pics of the worst of the 2 attached.

Great page, man. That series has been fantastic so far.

Both are fantastic, Alex - and two have consecutive strips is pretty darn cool.

Madman Adventures #1 - page 7 - Mike Allred Mike commented that the faded inks are the result of markers that he was put onto by Alex Toth, adding that "he wasn't right about everything".

COPRA - ROUND ONE - From Bergen Street Press “They’re ugly. They’re mean. But up until today, they’ve always been loyal. So when one of their own betrays them, the men and women of COPRA have no choice but to turn their nightmarish skills back on every son of a person_without_enough_empathy who ever looked at them funny.” Here it is, the first six issues of Michel Fiffe‘s master class in self-publishing. COPRA: A superhero revenge machine. COMING SEPTEMBER 2014! AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER THIS SUMMER!

Copra #14 is here! Read about it here. Buy it here.

It's not for sale quite yet. He should have them up on his Etsy store and out to subscribers / shops relatively soon, though. #14 is a Wir story, and is one of my favourite of the run to this point.

My friendly neighborhood mailperson delivered these today...

Anyone have an extra copy of #1 2nd printing they're willing to part ways with? PM me.

Patience. Michel is working on collections, including Compendium #4. In the meantime.... Now this is a badass cover. Copra #13 is almost here!! Teaser video:
