Bunky isn't there tomorrow...

Our 13th old school show is just a few hours away!

130

Interesting!

188 new posts? Oh man what a sale.

Yeates will be doing commissions at the show and signs 1-2 comics for free.

My first superhero comic was Detective 438! Also now coverless! And then 440, but I never had 439 until many years later.

We should have more thread titles like this.

Agree!

I was waiting to spring that on WooWoo

P.S. January show is SATURDAY, Jan. 18. A bunch of LA dealers coming up as well as Harley Yee and Superworld! And the usual killer dealers like A-1, Bunky, Champion, Heroes...

Nice report!

Question for you guys: Have a customer who is a disabled vet (Iraq, 2005) who just told me a story about his dad throwing away his comics in the 80s. The one he's looking to get is a back up story in an issue of Sgt. Rock where the crux of the story is "I do know that it had one of those other stories of an Afrika Korp Soldier smoking a cigarette near a burnt out tank and the fuel had leaked and dried up and when he flicked it to the ground, it ignited the fuel and killed him." Any ideas, guys? I had a full run of this in April but more than half the Rocks have sold. Regardless, I'll be digging into them soon to see if I can help the guy.

Welcome to the boards dude!

Ditto! Way to go.

Nice!

Spent some time talking with Scott McAdam at the Silicon Valley Comic Con about his old market reports and remembering how he wrote in one that given all the time he'd spent studying comics, he had a doctorate in comicsology or something like that. I was happy to support the magazine the last two years with ads, though they were a pretty unsuccessful use of marketing dollars.

My first issue!

I do have to recommend Joker #3 where he kidnaps Charles Schulz!

Get the reprint of Batman #1 and also the trade The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told

Hilarious cover! I definitely went to Green Apple back in the day.

It's the opposite here, a little bit. The stores that have survived are starting to do a little more old stuff. A) The new stuff is really struggling, B) The old stuff is so hot right now with such high prices. Blob: Yes, that's always one way to look at it too. One can afford something but it isn't worth it.

The business books say your rent should be 10% of your sales, so if you add $3000 to that, there's no way a small comic shop can add $30,000 a month in revenue.

Love Sgt. Rocks in the 400s!
