About Us

Howdy! As I am sure that you can well imagine, after driving 2,600 miles in just five days, I was not operating at full speed yesterday. After a very good night's sleep, however, I am feeling much better today, and I am actually more than a bit excited about heading in to Denver this morning and commencing with our fall marketing program at Mile High Comics.
Given that during the first part of this year that we were able to successfully expand our Mega-Store, and that we were also able to add substantially to our already vast array of back issue comics and graphic novels that we offer via our website, I believe that my task of encouraging of our supporters to continue to shopping with us is easier than it might otherwise be. This is particularly true given that this is a year when our world is in so much turmoil and angst. I believe that stepping back from all of the craziness and discord with which our daily news is riven is critically important for all our mental health, and I can personally attest that there is boundless comfort and joy to be found while indulging in one's passions, as opposed to the corrosive effect of endless doomscrolling.
In a nutshell, that is why so many of my recent newsletters have referenced my having spent my personal time either working on my beloved Pueblo Treasures Museum pottery collection, or maintaining our orchards and pastures at Jay Hill Farm. The more that our world continues to sink into it's current state of utter madness, the more that I calm my nerves by simply pursuing positive and constructive action within my own endeavors. That having been said, my marketing of Mile High Comics focuses heavily on the healing powers of escapism. Comics and graphic novels have long been associated with escapist literature, but in these gawdawful days, I believe that it truly is comforting to be able to return (if only momentarily) to the "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" mantra repeatedly advocated by DC Comics during the seeming endlessly optimistic late-1900's, when evolving our society to provide safety and social justice for people of all faiths, all races, and all countries of origin was a stated editorial goal of both Marvel and DC Comics.
At the same time as I advocate for the editorial optimism of comics to help to lessen the psychological impact of all the hatred that has recently come to the fore, I also encourage our local clients here in Colorado to set aside some time during their week to come visit us and check out what is new within the vast confines of our truly beautiful Mega-Store. It may not be readily apparent at first glance, but our physical layout of the store was intentionally designed (by me...) to be labyrinthian. Simply put, I wanted to create a non-linear world with seemingly endless nooks and crannies in which our visitors could (at least momentarily) get lost in joy and wonderment while viewing the vast array of cool pop culture stuff that we offer, and thus forget about the rest of the world for a while. Based upon the very positive feedback that we receive from our thousands of weekly visitors, our plan is apparently working quite well. With all of the previous firmly in mind, my fall marketing task will be to emphasize all of the improvements that we have made. My first local Facebook ads will be breaking this weekend, with a special emphasis on the vast increase in Manga and Anime products that we have recently added into Jason St. With nearly 30 more full showcases filled with Anime statues and other ephemera, we truly have moved those two genres to the forefront. That is precisely why I drove to the LA Toy District this week to obtain even more Manga and Anime material.
At the same time, our in-stock selection of trade paperbacks, graphic novels, and comics hardback collections has blossomed to over 400,000 individual volumes during the summer, with many thousands of those books out on our Mega-Store bookshelves at cover price. Some newer books have become harder to stock due to the complications of the Diamond Distributing bankruptcy, but our head book buyer, David Saindon, has done a remarkably good job of navigating those shoals, and thus keeping our most popular editions continually in stock. Where our inventory has grown the most this summer, however, is in our vast expansion of our back issue comics and all genres of pop culture toys. Will and Pam have been reinvesting the vast majority of our revenues from our recent online sales into purchasing up to 20 private collections per day in our Mega-Store. Their enthusiastic purchasing of this vast number of collections has helped to fill up all of our 200+ in-store showcases to overflowing, and has also given us a vitally-needed strategic reserve stashed in our storage areas going into the critical holiday gift-giving season. Yay!
I will close today's especially cheerful newsletter by once again thanking Lynne, and her entire awesome fulfillment team, for working so hard to quickly resolve the immense shipping backlog that we experienced at the beginning of September. We are now back to being completely current, so if anyone would like to receive a care package from us of fun comics and/or books to read, we can ship them out to you darn near immediately. On a side note, if you do decide to place an order, please remember that 60% off FALL! codeword sale remains in effect for you in all ten million+ of our back issue comics and magazines. Only new issues, a few variants and restored comics, and our professionally-graded issues are exempt. When our 60% off codeword discount is taken into account, vast numbers of our back issues are available to you for $3 each, or less. Just saying.... Happy collecting!
