(A SUIVRE) LE MAGAZINE DE LA BANDE DESSINEE #204 Many rare items have recently been added! PS: Below find the huge listing of all the new cover scans of comics, books, and magazines that we have It's not every day that we offer a 30% off codeword in addition to dropping our base prices.
Please do allow an extra day or two for shipment, however, as it will take us a little extra time to work through the order backlog generated by the OLDCOMICS codeword. I thank you for that, and hope that you really enjoy opening your package when it arrives! That being the case, I requested on Friday that those of you ordering mostly newer comics to also include at least one pre-1985 comic in your order, which a great many of you did. My original thought had been to restrict the 30% off codeword to just comics published between 1938-1984, but it turned out that this restriction was impossible to program on such short notice. We also sold a number of newer (1985-2009) comics to fans using the OLDCOMICS 30% off discount code. I'll find out this upcoming weekend if my discounting our older comics so steeply was a wise move, as I will be trying to replace the inventory that we sold at bargain prices at theĪside from selling a slew of Golden Age, Silver Age, and Bronze Age comics during the 30% off OLDCOMICS codeword sale, In many regards, this flood of orders for our older comics did not particularly surprise me, as my dropping our base prices on all of our comics published between 1938-1984 by 25%, and then layering a 30% codeword on top, produced a net reduction from our past website prices of nearly 45% off. A great many of you have obviously already realized this fact, as our huge OLDCOMICS codeword saleĬomics elicited a great response.
While I would certainly encourage all of you who have built great collections to hold on to them, I would also make the point that today's economic uncertainties also provide many opportunities to continue to build your collections at what I think will be viewed as bargain prices in the years to come. That same group would cost me many thousands of dollars to replace today, presuming that I could even find them for sale.

So much so, that I can remember quite vividly buying an entire magazine box full of old Rocket's Blast fanzines (#9-#60) at a San Diego convention for $5 each. At the time that I purchased many of my ditto-zines in the period between 1975-1990, they were completely out of vogue with collectors. Now that I'm in my fifth decade as a collector, however, I can clearly see that the secret to building a really great comics collection is, quite simply, time. We all have changes and challenges in our life that we need to overcome, and there are definitely times when neither the time, nor the resources, are there for collecting comics. Speaking from 41 years of experience as an avid comics collector, I can personally attest to the fact that one's passion for comics can ebb and flow.
Replacing those fanzines today would be nearly impossible, as I would estimate that in most instances fewer than 100 copies of each have survived.Īside from just being greatly pleased by the treasures that I am discovering in my storage boxes, the thought occurred to me that I should take a moment to encourage all of you whose interest in comics might be momentarily flagging to not even think about selling your collections. I am particularly happy with my extensive collection of 1960's comics fanzines, many of which were printed in very small quantities using ditto-master machines. As I keep unpacking my storage boxes, however, I am finding that I made a great many auspicious choices. It has come as an exceptionally pleasant surprise to me to finally discover just how extensive my personal comics collection is turning out to be.Īfter having placed my collection in storage 20 years ago (when our four young daughters commandeered all the bedrooms in our old farmhouse.), I really had no good recollection of just how many rare collectibles I had stashed away during the 1970's, and early 1980's. The good news is that I still felt well enough to work on my comics collection, so I spent all day on Saturday and Sunday sorting and bagging fanzines and underground comix. I spent the weekend coping with a pesky virus, which definitely made me feel out-of-sorts.
