Here’s Debbie Drechsler’s Summer of Love, which normally retails for $24.95 (I think?). It’s here for $9.95. Buy that with four other trades and that’s, what, a shade under seven bucks? Yikes.
The CE Sale: Part 1 (Apologia)
Posted by: admin on
Categories: Retailing/Industry
Okay. A bit of patience, please. I apologize–I had a lot more pictures and I tried to get Picasa to upload them all at one go, but it had no idea what the hell I was trying to do and wanted none of it. And I didn’t mean to have these all pop up in different entries, but what the hell. This isn’t all saleswhoremanship on my part by the way–I love a good sale and waited a long time for CE to have something like this. (In fact, it took so long, I ended up working there instead. Sigh.) So I got up this morning, made my way to the store before it opened and rifled through the bins… Read More…

Happy New Year, one and all. I’m *almost* out from the blanket of work that settles at the end of the year, though I ain’t there yet. I spent most of yesterday doing inventory at the store, and pulling off stock for a big Graphic Novel/TP sale — if I counted correctly, I put 678 GN/TPs out at MASSIVE discounts. We *start* at 50% off, and there’s any number of items at 75%+ off. I mention this here for two reasons — #1) we normally don’t DO “sales” at Comix Experience (It’s been more than a decade since our last one) and 2) I wasn’t organized enough to get the signage up for the sale yet. That means that you,… Read More…

A couple of years ago, Kate and I went to Hawaii for New Year; her brother lives there, working in the Coast Guard and saving lives and telling us how great the weather is in Maui. So, all of Kate’s family decides that Maui’s obviously the perfect place to see in the New Year, and we all save up our pennies and fly out, ready for sun, sea and surf. It rained for the entire time we were there. The first three days or so, we managed to convince ourselves that tropical heatwaves were just around the corner. “The rain is the Gods’ way of saying aloha!” we were told by locals eager to keep us from being depressed, and… Read More…
Why Not? Jeff’s Best-Of Picks for 2005.
Posted by: admin on

Didn’t feel much like writing reviews today so I thought it might be fun to dig through my entries for 2005 and pull together a “Best of” list. Way back when (before we used blogger), Brian put together a best-of list that was impressively complete–by assigning numerical values to each grade, he was able to crunch numbers and statistically confirm his picks for the best books of the year. I thought it’d be a hoot to do that, even if I just sorted through my Picks of the Week and grabbed stuff. Of course, it’s never that easy. I neglected to even make picks for the first few months of the year. So after spending the morning skimming through the… Read More…
