Today We Celebrate 56 Years In The Comics World!

Howdy!

I am in a splendid mood today, for several excellent reasons. First, and definitely the most important reason, today I am celebrating the 56th anniversary of the day (February 6th, 1970), when I rented my first booth in a public venue to sell old comic books. I was only 14 years old on that historic day, but I already had visualized many dreams about the great comic book specialty store that I hoped to open when I became an adult.

My first Mile High Comics retail store did eventually open on September 30th, 1974 (just after I turned 19), but during the intervening four years I continued to sell comics whenever I could at antiques fairs, flea markets, and even a few out-of-state comic book conventions. Serving that four year apprenticeship in comic book retailing was hard on me, but it was those lessons that I learned while I was a poverty-stricken youth that continue to guide me to this very day. Truth be told, remarkably few businesses ever survive as long as 56 years, which is why I am eternally grateful to Providence for my blessings, and my good fortune. Without a doubt, I have been blessed to live an awesome life!

My second reason for being so happy today is that DC Comics released the Absolute Batman SC Collection #2 earlier this week, and also (finally!) reprinted the first Absolute Batman SC. This series has been so popular that we blew through over 400 copies of the first trade paperback before we it went out-of-print in November. These should sell like hotcakes over the weekend, and thus make a lot of our Batman fans very happy.

Finally, I am in a great mood today because the dreadful illness that has dogged me for the past eight weeks has finally gone into remission. It was almost 70 degrees here in Boulder today, and since I felt remarkably healthy, I pulled my huge walk-behind mower out of winter storage and mowed a small part of our central pasture, just for fun. The fact that our weather is so unseasonably warm (and dry) here is worrisome as regards our future water supplies, but I have to admit that it is still vastly more pleasant than the deep freeze that so many of you who live on the East Coast are presently experiencing. I hope that our warm weather eventually drifts eastward, and brightens your day, too.

OK, that's it for another week. I'm going back outside to weed whack now around our big pasture for a while. I did want to mention in closing, however, that we are still receiving huge orders from our 70% off SWEETHEART! codeword sale. We're down to only ten days left before the SWEETHEART! sale ends, so you might be well-served if you pulled together an order to place with us over the weekend. Just saying...


Nicky & Chuck

Let me also not forget to thank you ever so much for letting me keep on living my childhood comic book retailing dream, all the way into my dotage. Thanks to your kindness and support, I have been blessed with happiness beyond all measure. Thank you.

Happy collecting!
