New STAR WARS: PRINCESS LEIA and
PUPPET MASTER Variant Editions

Howdy!

The biggest news for today is that the tidal wave of demand for all manner of Star Wars comics and books is growing at a nearly exponential rate. I felt pretty confident back in January when I signed contracts with Marvel to create over $100,000 in exclusive Mile High Comics Star Wars variant editions, but even my most optimistic projections are now being exceeded. If our variant sales keep growing at their present pace, all of our Star Wars variants will be sold out before Episode VII releases on December 18th.


Darth Vader #1 - #3 Set

While our Mile High Comics variants are doing quite well, our biggest seller this week was the $19.95 set of DARTH VADER #1-#3. That is because fewer than half of the fans who purchased the first issue of STAR WARS (2015) also picked up on the DARTH VADER series. That was definitely a mistake for those who chose not to pick up both ongoing series, as the introduction of the new female bounty hunter, Doctor Aphra, in DARTH VADER #3 has already caused that book to become an overnight sensation. Individual issues of #3 are selling so fast for us at $9.95 right now that we are going to have to boost our price soon, despite our having purchased a record number of copies. If you want to pick up on Star Wars issues from us, I urge you to do so right away.


Secret Wars FCBD 2015

Another reason why we're so busy right now is that I (very reluctantly...) put a 60% off STARWARS! codeword sale in effect on Monday on all of our back issue comics and magazines, excluding only new issues, a few variants, and our CGC-graded issues. We've seen a slew of fans and eBay resellers take advantage of our ridiculously generous 60% off discount to stock up on all manner of back issue titles related to the new SECRET WARS series that will be altering the entire course of the Marvel Universe in May.


Avengers FCBD 2015

Speaking of SECRET WARS, here are the covers to the new INHUMANS and AVENGERS Free Comic Book Day editions. I cannot judge as to the quality of the stories, but the cover artwork is really nice, and the new casts of characters revealed here for the first time will certainly keep everyone discussing possible future ramifications, both to the Marvel publishing line, and also to upcoming movies. This is a really fun time to be in the world of comics!


Puppet Master #1 Mile High

Another fun variant that we signed up to create is PUPPET MASTER (2015) #1, a spinoff of the cult favorite horror film of the 1990's. Isn't the artwork amazing? In all honesty, I never expected that we would be receiving such an amazingly cool 1940's retro variant cover! Had I known, I would definitely have printed more than the bare minimum of 500 copies that we ultimately produced. That having been said, I am sticking to my original asking price of only $12.50 until they release next Wednesday, but don't be surprised if after that date that our asking price doubles. I am certain that these are going to be very popular!


Inhumans FCBD 2015

I will close today's newsletter with a quick plug for an upcoming Jim Steranko signing at THE COMIC BOOK SHOP 1855 Marsh Road, Wilmington, Delaware. They are celebrating their 5th Anniversary under their current ownership, and will have Jim signing autographs at their store on Saturday, March 28th. Also signing autographs that day will be Bob Camp, the co-reactor of REN & STIMPY. Sarah and Titus are two of the most imaginative and hard-working comics retailers in America, and I sincerely congratulate them on having achieved their 5-year mark! You can call them at 302-477-1119 for more details about their weekend events.

Happy Collecting!
