OUR BACK ISSUE BIN SALE CONTINUES!
Through March, we will continue the deep discount savings on issues of the past.  We are entering newly acquired stock each and everyday and constantly adding some juicy hard to get comics to our bins.  This past month we added another 3,000 more in our bins and if you have not been to the store lately, you will notice a big difference as we have added a central location for all of our back issues.  Feel free to send us your want lists and we will even do the work for you.

Speaking of back issues, did you know that a CGC 8.0 copy of Action Comics #1 has been sold for $1 million to an unidentified buyer in an auction that closed this past Monday on ComicConnect.com?  This more than triples the previous record for a vintage comic, the $317,200 paid for a 6.0 copy of the same title last year!  Now granted, Only 100 copies of Action Comics #1 exist, and only two copies have been graded at 8.0 or higher. the 1938 comic was the first appearance of Superman and the beginning of the superhero genre.
