Jim Steranko to Autograph Comics at Mile High Comics Howdy! Very good news to begin today, as we just received confirmation that one of my favorite comics artists of all time, Jim Steranko, is going to be signing autographs for fans at our upcoming opening night party for the Denver Comic-Con! Even. Even better, Jim has also agreed to sign autographs for those of you who shop with us online! Jim Steranko items can be requested right now for the same $12 per item nominal fee as is being requested by Neal Adams (orders with signed items will not be shipped until May 31st)... The one difficulty for those of you who are Jim Steranko fans is that quite of bit of his fantastic early material is currently out of print, and quite scarce in the secondary market. That having been said, we will immediately search the Diamond backlist books list for books containing Steranko material, and offer any of those books that they have available to you at cover price in Monday's newsletter. In the meantime, I can make you a very special offer to obtain a signed copy of Jim's incredible STERANKO'S HISTORY OF THE COMICS VOL. 2 at the bargain price of only $29.95 each, with no extra charge for the signature, or the accompanying certificate of authenticity. We are having Jim sign 50 brand new copies of this long out-of-print book exclusively for our online clients. That having been said, I will guarantee you that at least five of those signed copies are already reserved by those of us who work here at Mile High Comics... I am also delighted to let you know that Jim Steranko will be accompanied on his visit to Denver by J. David Spurlock, bestselling author and founder of Vanguard Publishing. Vanguard has published a slew of great books about Wally Wood, Julie Schwartz, and many other comics greats, as well as the incredibly informative Wally's World GN. I am really looking forward to spending some time chatting with David about the 75-year history of comics publishing... (click on any of the images below for larger views) Jim Steranko J. David Spurlock Neal Adams In other news, I want to let you know that our New-In-Stock listing for yesterday was exceptionally large, with a slew of great older comics having just been added. We purchased 1,000 very nice Silver Age and Bronze Marvel and DC issues in one special deal earlier this week, as well as a small grouping of vintage Dell, Gold Key, Harvey, and Archie comics. All are available to you right now at a full 40% off when you utilize our ongoing NEALADAMS discount codeword. Only new comics, and books, are excluded from the sale. About half of the comics from this new collection are already listed in today's New-In-Stock, with the rest being added to our website inventory today, for tomorrow's New-In-Stock update. My final item for today is to share with you a wonderful picture of our two daughters, Aleta and Elsbeth, sharing a meal near my home town of Aschaffenburg, Germany with my beloved uncle Christoph, and my beautiful cousin, Petra. I do so dearly wish that I could have been there with them... Aleta, Petra, Elsbeth and Christoph (click on image for larger view) Happy Collecting! Chuck Rozanski, President - Mile High Comics, Inc.
