Cruzin' Thru Comics

If you’re ever in Southern California stop by our shop in Santa Clarita (about 40 minutes north of Los Angeles.

We are Cruzin Thru Comics.

We specialize in back issues and are constantly getting new collections in. We have lots of key issues, graded books, $1 books, horror magazines etc..

We stopped selling at conventions this year. With table costs rising every year it’s tough to make a decent profit at them. We are doing fine with our brick and mortar shop, eBay and instagram sales. About prices at our shop- it’s tough and time consuming to reprice thousands of books when the market fluctuates constantly. What we do is take offers on books and discount them as well. If a customer pulls up a book on eBay at a lower price we’re happy to match or even beat that price. You have to be realistic unless you really don’t want to sell comics. A customer can go online and get a book for cheaper so you gotta match those prices. 

Joker 1. Thanks.

I'm guessing that "cover" print is some kind of mockup.  I mean a 60cent cover price comic is well before any X-Men movie.  Maybe try contacting Joe Quesada or Danny Miki directly for more info ??

Appreciate it 

Hi, a contact of ours has this original art page I believe signed by Hugh Jackman. There’s a print of the color image with it. I can’t find this anywhere. I don’t know if it was an unpublished piece or maybe used for advertisement for a movie etc.. The art page appears to be an original. Any info would be greatly appreciated. 

Claim ghost rider 4, thanks 

We will be set up at the show this year. Bringing lots of great books and magazines. Bronze and Silver age and some Gold. Some cool slabs as well. Modern keys and wall books as well. Hope to see you there! 

I’ll take all the remaining raw books, thanks.

Howdy! I was the one that you bought that rack from on Sunday. Many thanks for the purchase.

These are getting a lot harder to find. I currently have 4 others. A large wooden Dell floor rack from the early ‘50’s. A tall side by side metal Dell folding rack with characters pictured on the header and a similar generic “Hey Kids Comics” header as well as a smaller counter top spinner with a DC logo from the early SA. I also have a small wall mounted Little Golden Book metal rack. I just don’t have space for the spinner anymore. I just love these old racks.

Personaly, I would just spot weld the couple breaks and leave it alone. It has nice paint and patina as is.

By the way, my wife was very happy to have it gone…

I appreciate it. If you ever want to sell any others let me know.

The one I bought with broken welds and some rust I had stripped down, the welds repaired and the entire thing powder coated (mine was black). The rust will only get worse and, on mine, the value was on the header which was still mint.  

I appreciate it. I’ll think about it. They do look way nicer when properly restored. 

A buddy of mine who always acquires some different stuff got this DC spinner rack which I purchased from him for the shop. It’s made of heavy gauge plastic and works great! I heard these were limited and sent out by DC to a limited number of retailers. I had never seen one before. The vintage white spinner I bought at Cal Comic Con yesterday for a good price although it’s missing the base. I’m going to make one until I can find an original. If anybody has one please let me know. One question- the rack has some rust at welds and a couple broken welds which I’ll fix but should I paint the whole rack or leave it original? The header is in pretty good shape and I’m leaning towards keeping it all original. 

We sell some stuff on IG but normally lower value items. Younger crowd on there with not too much to spend. Many of our local customers claim books on there and then go to the shop to pick them up.

David Kraft - Story / Mike Vosburg and Frank Springer - Art 

Page picture below

Awesome. Appreciate it! 

Hi, I recently purchased this OA and I’m trying to verify which book it’s from. Seller said Savage She-Hulk issue 20. Top of art says page 25. Would also like to verify artist(s) and writer. A CGC label of this book says David Anthony Kraft story and Mike Vosburg and Frank Spinger as artists. It also has some cool sketches on back of the page. I just don’t have any She-Hulk I can get to right now at the shop to verify. Any info would be appreciated and thanks. 

Not the dealers fault that cgc graded it a 9.6. If I have a 9.6 book in the shop that’s what it’s being priced at. Buyer can decide not to buy it and move on. The smirk on his face is because he’s probably tired of cheap buyers/flippers trying to low ball him. 

My buddy has this Batman OA but doesn’t know much about it. I was just wondering if anyone might know the Aritst and if this was an actual published panel or page. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. 

I’ll take it, thanks 

Sent a pm. 

You could probably have a base made. I’d think it would be much better.  It was originally designed as a spinner rack. 

Take adventure into fear 24, thanks 

I’ll take them, thanks. 

I’ve been buying and selling comics for about 12 years now. Conventions and eBay etc.. Finally opened a  small brick and mortar shop about 2 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Collections coming in all the time. For the most part people want to go somewhere they feel comfortable with. I know how tough it is hunting comics in the wild though. I know not everyone can open a shop but even just a small commercial office would work. As long as people know it’s public they will go. 

Not sure how 66 is his 1st appearance when he’s on the cover of 65? I sold two cgc copies of 65 in the shop and always thought that was his 1st
