Free WOLVERINE Trade Paperback - $20,000 Silver Age Auction
Howdy!
As a member of the
Marvel Comics
retailer forum on Facebook, I am occasionally provided with early glimpses of particularly
noteworthy Marvel projects. Today's treat was a first viewing of the new trailer for
AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR,
which I am allowed to share with you
here:
AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Trailer
In all honesty, I think that this new AVENGERS movie could be the highest-grossing Marvel film
of all time. Not only does it feature almost every character from the Marvel cinematic universe
(and an awesome villain in THANOS), but it also seems to convey the fun and lightness of spirit
that made GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, DEADPOOL, and THOR: RAGNAROK so enjoyable. It will be officially
releasing on May 4th, the day before The 2018 Free Comic Book Day celebrations. As of right now,
I am expecting that annual event to contribute to May 5th, 2018 being the busiest day in the history of
Mile High Comics.
Woo!
On a related note, I took my wife, Nanette, to see THOR: RAGNAROK on Sunday. While I greatly enjoyed
the THOR movie, what really bowled me over was the incredibly dynamic trailer for BLACK PANTHER (releasing 2/16),
and a glimpse of the very quirky take on NEW MUTANTS (releasing 4/13). The combined effect of STAR WARS (12/15),
AVENGERS, NEW MUTANTS, and BLACK PANTHER gives Marvel four major releases over just the next six months. This
should truly be an amazing period for comics...
BLACK PANTHER #1
All of the above having been said, one factor that I did want to point out today was the creeping erosion in
our available inventories of comics related to major films. Over the past few weeks, for example, we have seen
quite a substantial revival in orders for all manner of
STAR WARS back issues,
both from
Marvel
and from
Dark Horse.
Our
NEW MUTANTS back issue
sales have also jumped up vigorously, and we just can't keep early issues of
BLACK PANTHER
or
JUNGLE ACTION
in stock.
JUNGLE ACTION #16
So you know, some of these nice
back issues
that we are selling are going directly to fans to add to their collections, but others are being
purchased by speculators who hope to resell them at higher prices at a later date. We do not mind either
way, as we are grateful for any and all support, but I did want to make note that we always see an uptick
in what appear to be speculator purchases during our most generous codeword sales, such as this week's
ongoing 50% off BLACKFRIDAY! codeword sale. Sadly, BLACKFRIDAY! will need to be ending early next week.
SPIDER-MAN #38 Sign
In other news, our third huge (28' tall by 20' wide) comic book cover banner, featuring
Steve Ditko's
awesome
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #38
imagery, is being mounted on to the exterior wall of
Jason St.
today. In an attempt to spur our holiday sales at
Jason St.,
we are temporarily mounting it on to the wall panel of our building that is closest to Interstate 70.
We eventually planning for the cover to
AVENGERS (1963) #4
to be mounted in that extremely high visibility spot (the Colorado Department of Transportation claims
that 400,000 cars a day use I-70!), but we are at least a month away from being able to afford the
$4,000 needed for that next banner. In case you are wondering, my comic book cover project will
eventually wrap our entire building with 18 awesome banners...
SPIDER-MAN #38 Sign from I-70
Another effort that we are undertaking to spur our holiday sales is to host an incredible
no-minimum-bid auction
here at
Jason St.
on Saturday morning, beginning at 11:30 AM. Will Moulton searched
our inventory
for key issues where we had duplicates that we could afford to let go at bargain prices, and he came up
with a staggering list of over $20,000.00 in retail back issues, including huge amounts of
Silver Age. Click
here for pictures of the comics in the auction
Auction lot #23
Given how many great
back issues
that Will has included, we very much need for
this auction
to be successful. If you live in Colorado (or nearby) we are asking that you please try to attend
Saturday's event.
Refreshments will be served, and kids are always welcome! If you cannot attend in person,
and would like to place a pre-bid on any of the
items shown,
you can write to Pam Brandle at pamb@milehighcomics.com.
She will be accepting pre-bids through 10 AM, on Saturday morning.
WOLVERINE: BEST THERE IS - CONTAGION TPB (2012)
I will close today's newsletter with another free book offer. Place any order with us through Monday,
and you can request (in the notes portion of the order form) to receive a free copy of
WOLVERINE: BEST THERE IS - CONTAGION TPB (2012).
If your order meets our free shipping minimums of $50 Domestic or $125 International your only cost
will be the minor per/item book surcharge. Thank you for your support!
Happy collecting!
