Harley Quinn Statue, STAR WARS #37 Variant, More Howdy! A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we had made our last payment on our company operating loan. After a long wait, our unconditional release of lien statement finally arrived from our bank on Monday. This means that all ten million of our comics, books, toys, and statues stored in our immense Jason St. Mega-Store are now paid off. Hooray! unconditional release of lien statement To be clear, most of the funds that we utilized to pay off this longstanding debt came not from our selling comics, but rather from the sale last year of our smaller 56th Ave. warehouse building. But, we also struggled and scratched to cover the last $200,000 of that loan through our online comics sales of the past 15 months. While we do still have moving costs and other short term debts still remaining to pay, having our primary bank loan completely paid off (for the first time in 37 years!) is a true blessing. Our sincere thanks and gratitude are extended to everyone who has supported of efforts through these many years of struggle. We could not have reached this awesome goal without your kindness and assistance. Thank you. STAR WARS (2015) #37 Mile High Exclusive Moving on to current news, we are continuing in our longstanding effort to publish exclusive Mile High Comics variant editions. Releasing this week are STAR WARS (2015) #37 from Marvel and BLOODSHOT: SALVATION #1 from Valiant. As you are probably already aware, we have been producing a variant edition for every new issue of the Marvel STAR WARS (2015) editions, usually with a minimal 3,000-copy print run. We offer them for $19.95 in advance, or $24.95 after release. I love the fact that we are the only comics retailer to have ever published a variant edition to an entire monthly comics title for over three years... BLOODSHOT: SALVATION #1 Mile High Exclusive As regards our BLOODSHOT: SALVATION #1 variant edition from Valiant, this is one of our all-time lowest print run variant editions, with only 400 copies have been produced! I am going to offer these to you for the remainder of this week only for $24.95 each, with a strictly enforced limit of three copies. Our son-in-law, Justin Ehart (who is one of the foremost Valiant experts in the world...), enabled this awesome variant to exist through his contacts at Valiant, and also published a variant of his own! (Collecting Valiant Comics Podcast), also with a print run of only 400 copies. If you wish, you can obtain both our variant, and Justin's, as a package deal for only $29.95. Because Justin only allocated us a few copies, however, this offer is very limited, and definitely needs to end on Sunday. BLOODSHOT: SALVATION #1 Collecting Valiant Comics Podcast Exclusive In other news, I am asking today for $20 donations to help cover the cost of the little holiday gifts that we give out each year to the kids attending the RAINBOW ALLEY potluck dinner. I started volunteering to help serve food at this heartwarming holiday event five years ago, and have watched our event grow from helping 30 kids in the first year, to helping 250+ last Christmas. RAINBOW ALLEY is a part of Denver's LGBTQ Center, and helps to provide a safe space for gay and transgender kids who are being bullied and/or abused because of their orientation. With hate crimes up 20% this year, having a safe place is a critical need for the children. Here is a short video about RAINBOW ALLEY: RAINBOW ALLEY VIDEO Sadly, a few of these kids are also homeless, as they were abandoned by their families after they came out. More than a few of the children have also told us that our potluck dinner is the only substantial meal that they are able to enjoy during the holidays, and that the little gifts that the counselors give out are the only presents that they receive. With demand growing exponentially each Christmas, however, the ability of our small group of volunteers to help all of these children is being strained to its limits. life-size HARLEY QUINN statue In a nutshell, that is why I jumped at the chance to order a wonderful life-size HARLEY QUINN statue when it appeared on Diamond's closeout list. With an original list price of $1,995.00, I figured that this cool statue would make an awesome prize for a chance drawing to benefit the kids. Tickets are priced at only 5/$20. If you win the drawing, but the statue doesn't fit in with your decor, you can opt instead for the alternate prize of a $1,000.00 Mile High Comics shopping spree. Either way, 100% of your $20 donation will be given directly to RAINBOW ALLEY. Please help us to bring a bit of holiday cheer to kids that are struggling in a world that is becoming increasing harsh. The drawing will be held in our Jason St. Mega-Store at 1 PM on Saturday, October 28th. We will contact you later that day if you win. Thank you! Dan with the life-size HARLEY QUINN statue I will close by quickly mentioning that our annual 40% off SEPTOBER! codeword sale on our ten million back issue comics and magazines is still in effect for you. Only new issues, a few variants, and our professionally graded comics are excluded. We are also providing free shipping on all Domestic comics orders over $50, and most International orders over $125. We all sincerely thank you for your support... Happy collecting!
