Local Comics News - Free Avalanche Tickets Drawing Tomorrow
Howdy!
I want to begin today by letting you know that last Saturday's benefit poker
tournament at our
Jason St.
store for
Children's Hospital
was a great success, raising over $2,200! for the kids being helped in the H.I.V. ward.
Our sincere thanks go out to everyone from
Mile High Comics,
and the Royal Poker Club, who helped to put on this event. I also want to thank all 61
of our players from Saturday. Thank you very much for all your kindness. You are awesome!

So you know, we are not yet completely done with our
Children's Hospital
fundraiser, as we still have five pairs of
Avalanche Hockey
tickets to give away tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5 PM. These seats are in a luxury suite, and
are for the Avalanche game which will be held Saturday February 4, at 1 PM. If you would like to
enter the drawing for a pair of these awesome hockey tickets, you can do so at any one of
our three Mile High Comics retail stores.
Tickets for our drawing are $5 each, or 5/$20, with all proceeds going to the
ICRME
and the kids at
Children's Hospital.
You need not be present to win!

In other news, we have been adding thousands more comics into the huge new $1 selections that
we are building within
all three of our stores.
This is becoming a very big deal, as we have
seen unprecedented traffic in this area over the past four weeks, so we are all working
diligently to expand these selections for you as quickly as possible. I snapped four quick
photos this morning of a few dozen issues that I selected for
Jason Street's
$1 bins just last evening. The
Bronze Age
comics are lower grade, but remain as remarkable bargains at just $1 each...

Another bit of news that I think will please you is at we have reached a deal with
VENOM
artist
Sam De Larosa
to appear at
Jason St.
during this year's Free Comic Book Day celebration on May 6th. Sam will be signing autographs
(for a $5 fee...) and also offering original art for sale. Sam will be waiving a portion of his fee
however, for contributors to our charity of the day,
"Feeding Denver's Hungry."
More details will be released as we get closer to the date.

I am going to close today's newsletter with another charity appeal, this time involving the
specific needs of women who find themselves homeless. As you are probably already aware,
Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire Empress
43, Norrie Reynolds, has been working tirelessly to help to feed the poor, disabled and
elderly people served by
Urban Peak
and the
St. Francis center.
Norrie, brainstorming with
Feeding Denver's Hungry
leader, Kristina Fellows, came up with the idea that we should create a special day where we focus
on the specific needs of the dozens of women who avail themselves of our services each week. They
worked with the other female volunteers of
"Feeding Denver's Hungry,"
and came up with the following list of critically needed items:
