DARTH VADER #1 Arrives
Half Price Back Issue Sale

Howdy!

The past couple of days have been just excellent here at Mile High Comics. For starters, we had one of our neighbors in our warehouse district trade us a large quantity of industrial grade steel shelving for a comics gift certificate. We very much needed those shelves, as we are currently in the middle of an extensive program of sorting comics to offer you from our Jason St. Mega-Store. Those newly donated shelves will ultimately hold about 100,000 of our back issue comics, which will very much help us in adding even more comics for you to peruse in the New-In-Stock and Premium New-In-Stock links on our website. Score!

I cannot yet reveal to you all the details of yet another very positive outcome that happened for us, as I am still in disbelief that such a cool thing could actually happen. Suffice it to say that it involves our being able to obtain copies of a previously unknown variant to STAR WARS (2015). Just as soon as I receive actual confirmation that we are really getting those issues, I will offer you what I believe to be an amazing opportunity.


Darth Vader #1 Regular

In the meantime, DARTH VADER (2015) #1 released from Marvel today, and we are already receiving very positive feedback. I took a quick moment to glance through a copy, and was definitely impressed with both the artwork, and the story. I will not spoil anyone's reading experience by giving away any plot details, but all of the old Star Wars bad guys appear, and a new character is introduced whom I find especially intriguing.

All of the above having been said, I encourage anyone who has not yet reserved a copy of DARTH VADER #1 to do so immediately. The print run for #1 is only about 30% of STAR WARS (2015) #1, and we all know how quickly the one million copies of that title disappeared. I purchased 2,000 copies of DARTH VADER #1 for our online inventory, but nearly 25% of those copies are already committed, which is all that I had allocated for sale this month. In all probability, we will start nudging our price on DARTH VADER #1 upward a little next week.


Star Wars: Princess Leia #1 Mile High

Another price that will probably need to increase in the near future will be our Mile High Comics exclusive variant edition of STAR WARS: PRINCESS LEIA #1. The wonderful cover for our exclusive variant created by Gabriele Dell'Otto has proven to be incredibly popular, so we are presently receiving pre-orders even faster than what we initially received for our variant of STAR WARS (2015) #1. To be specific, we had over 100 copies of STAR WARS PRINCESS LEIA #1 reserved in the first 48 hours after we announced its pending arrival, with even more pre-orders arriving yesterday and today. If this pace keeps up, all 500 of our pre-order allocation copies will soon be gone, perhaps as early as Monday of next week.

This very rapid pace of advance reservations is a very important consideration for you, as once those first 500 copies are committed, our current $19.95 pre-order price on STAR WARS: PRINCESS LEIA #1 is scheduled to increase. Please contact Greg or Mario in our new comics subscription department to reserve your copy at $19.95 today. You can call them (weekdays 9-5) at 303-455-2659, or write to them at nice@milehighcomics.com. A reservation costs you nothing until our variant actually ships in early March. Suffice it to say, STAR WARS: PRINCESS LEIA #1 looks to be another big hit for us...

Speaking of STAR WARS (2015) #1, we are still accepting pre-orders on our exclusive variant editions of #3-#6. Because almost everyone who ordered our variants of issues #1 and #2 from us then chose to order the entire set, however, we are already well above our 500-copy pre-order allocation on issues #3-#6. With our exclusive cover artwork for #3 (featuring The Emperor Palpatine!) due in tomorrow, we expect that our current $24.95 pre-order price on #3-#6 will not hold for more than a few days. Copies of our variant edition of STAR WARS (2015) #1 continue to sell briskly at $49.95, while #2 is also doing well at $34.95. 'Nuff said...


Ocean of Comics - Jason Street Mega-Store

I will close today's newsletter by mentioning that Chris Brunn just finished his Herculean task of harvesting over 35,000 scarce back issue comics from the immense "Ocean of Comics" in our Jason St. Mega-Store. It took him over six months (!) to get through the entire Ocean. The last of those 35,000 comics were delivered to Pam for grading today, and Chris started the process all over again, starting with titles in the Ocean beginning with "A". The Ocean has more than doubled in size since he began his first run-through last August, however, so it came as no surprise to me that he filled his first long box with key issues for our website very quickly. There are now nearly 400,000 comics in the Mega-Store "Ocean," so this next sort is going to take Chris much, much longer.

Happy Collecting!
