Signed Todd McFarlane Prints - Half Price Comics Sale Howdy! After a surprise snow storm buffeted Denver yesterday morning, we awoke today to a beautiful winter vista of dazzling white. While our driving adventures were difficult yesterday due to icy and snowpacked roads, our unexpected snow did have the delightful benefit of helping everyone in this area to get into the holiday spirit. I can guarantee you that my own last-minute shopping gene has been activated, which means that I am going to be scrambling over the next couple of days to locate holiday gifts for all my loved ones. Winter photo One gift package that I will be shipping today contains a set of our STAR WARS: PRINCESS LEIA #1-#5 for the new beau of our youngest daughter, Elsbeth. She recently moved to Melbourne, Australia, and wouldn't you just know that her new fella is a comics fan! Since fewer than 20 copies of our PRINCESS LEIA set were sent to Australia, I figure that set is a pretty awesome Christmas present for her to give James. The odds that anyone else in his circle of friends owns a set of our rare Star Wars variants, is pretty darn low... PRINCESS LEIA (2015) #1-5 Exclusive Mile High Cover Set PRINCESS LEIA (2015) #1 MILE HIGH PRINCESS LEIA (2015) #2 MILE HIGH PRINCESS LEIA (2015) #3 MILE HIGH PRINCESS LEIA (2015) #4 MILE HIGH PRINCESS LEIA (2015) #5 MILE HIGH Speaking of Star Wars, I about fell out of my chair when I read a glowing review of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS in today's NEW YORK TIMES. The Times is notorious for not liking most popular movies, so their endorsement was quite a surprise. I also checked IMDB, which had a 91% positive rating, and ROTTEN TOMATOES, which had a 97% positive. I have never in my life seen any film score that high on ROTTEN TOMATOES! With the movie turning out to be a success, it seems likely that our decision to invest heavily in both publishing our own STAR WARS (2015) variant editions, and also purchasing substantial quantities of all of the standard editions, is going to prove to have been prescient. With four more feature Star Wars films scheduled to be released over the next 48 months, the new Star Wars wave has clearly just begun. My only regret is that we could only afford to print 3,000 copies on most of our exclusive Mile High Comics Star Wars variants. Because our print runs need to be so limited, we are down to only a few hundred copies remaining on some of our earlier STAR WARS (2015) issues. Sigh... In other news, our annual 50% off HOLIDAY! codeword sale is continuing to prove to be quite popular. We have been receiving a slew of exceptionally large orders over the past couple of days from fans all around the world who are purchasing large runs of individual comics titles. I guess that only makes sense, as the best time to fill in your collection from our website is when almost all of our comics and books are on sale for half price. It is actually a bit shocking to me just how many of our comics listed on our website end up being priced at a net $1, or less, when the HOLIDAY! codeword discount is applied. So you know, no codeword is needed to receive our 40%-50% off discounts on our huge selection of graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and comics hardback collections. All of our steeply discounted book prices are posted for you right on our website. As regards our comics, all ten million of our Golden Age, Silver Age comics, Bronze Age, and Modern Age Comics are on sale for you right now at half price when you type "HOLIDAY!" into the Discount Codeword line on our order form. This exceptionally beneficial codeword sale includes almost all of our Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, IDW, and other comics publisher titles. Only new issues, a few variants, and our CGC-graded issues are excluded from this awesome annual sales event. Enjoy! COMIC BOOK LEGAL DEFENSE FUND IMAGE PRINT I will close today's newsletter with a special offer for you on a rare and beautiful Image Comics signed and numbered print that was created as a fundraiser for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. This print was limited to only 500 signed copies, each being embellished with original autographs by Image Comics founders Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen, Jim Valentino, and Marc Silvestri. We made a substantial contribution to the CBLDF about ten years ago, and thus ended up with a small stack of these prints. In the spirit of the holiday season I decided to offer these cool prints to you today for only $20 each, with a limit of two per person, please. An autograph by just Todd McFarlane typically retails for more than $20, so this print is an exceptionally good deal, especially if you are looking for an awesome and unique last-minute Christmas present. Please accept this offer with our sincere thanks for your continuing support of Mile High Comics. Happy collecting! Chuck Rozanski, President - Mile High Comics, Inc. December 16, 2015 P.S. Here is a cool link that will take you directly to a landing page which lists for sale most of the early editions of Marvel's STAR WARS (2015) that we currently have in stock. As you may recall, I have been predicting for over a year that the worldwide demand for all Star Wars products would explode if the movie was well-received. Given that the movie now looks to be an even bigger hit than we had hoped, I am now firmly of the opinion that nearly all of the copies of the early STAR WARS (2015) issues are going to end up in private hands very quickly. Most comics remain in private collections for at least 10-15 years, so do not be surprised if all of these issues become quite scarce, and jump dramatically in price, over the next couple of months. There are upwards of one billion new Star Wars fans about to enter the market..
