Alright sorting through the stacks... -M Man , I love it when a person gets a steal when buying. All DC, I see. Ollie's acquired 19 truckloads of DC trades & hardcovers, so yeah it was all DC, except for the Someday Funnies oversized hardcover I mentioned in the original post. -M

Apparently there have been some folks travelling from Ollie's to Ollie's buying up their entire stock to try to flip on ebay, which hey good luck on that since a) a lot of people know about this blowout and won't be willing to pay a flipper and b) a lot of the stuff was available for Ollie's to purchase as overstock because it wasn't in high demand so there's a good chance these flippers will be stuck with a lot of unsold items or won't be able to make much after ebay fees because they won't sell for much more than what Ollie's was charging for them. But yeah. I've heard a lot of places had their entire stock sell out within hours of the Bleeding Cool article hitting, and apparently there is a furor over the sale on the Back Issue Facebook group from what I've heard too. Sucks that folks who just want to get some stuff to read cheap have to deal with the flipper mentality, but it is what it is and that kind of collector mentality has been dragging down the industry for a while anyways, so it doesn't surprise me anymore. -M

So the day after I went to Ollie's we got a coupon mailer from them for 15% off a purchase between now and Valentine's Day. I also heard throuh the grapevine our branch got a second shipment of DC books on Friday, so since we were over on that side of town this afternoon, Amy and I stopped by and I went for round two (much smaller this time) including a couple of books I had been looking for for a while that weren't there on Thursday. So the two I was most excited for... a hardcover edition of The Judas Coin by Walt Simonson, something I wanted to pick up when it came out but never got to, and a replacement copy of the gold foil cover slim trade edition of Goodwin and Simonson's Manhunter that has the special silent last chapter done from Archie's plot by Simonson that's not included in the Baxter reprint chapter I have. I had this trade but it was one of the one's lost in the move from CT long ago and I have wanted to pick up another copy for a while but never ran into one. Other pick ups... 2 more Showcases: Superman Vol. 3 DC Comics Presents Vol. 2 some trades: Seven Soldiers of Victory Vol. 1 & 2 World of Krypton w/Mignola art Rann/Thanagar War by Dave Gibbons & Ivan Reis Manhunter Vol. 4 (Kate Spencer character) Savage Hawkman (new 52 version) Vol. 1 some hardcovers Batman by Neil Adams Vol. 1 (I got Vol. 2 last time) Tales of the Batman by JH Willimas Justice League International by Giffen & DeMatteis Vol. 3 Teen Titans: A Celebration of 50 Years -M PS hey The Captain I would check Ollie's again, I was told today a lot of shops got shipments delayed by the storm or were originally going to get 2 waves of books and some got held back and combined into one larger delivery that came a few days later than a lot of shops got their stuff. PPS I oopsed and got 2 copies of the JH Williams book it looks like, didn't notice that in store.

@mrp , thanks for the heads-up. I stopped by the local Ollies this afternoon on my way to pick up my older daughter from church after she'd hung out with friends all afternoon, and they had apparently either gotten their shipment or I just somehow missed it the other night.
As most of you know, I'm not a DC guy, but as these books were so cheap, I grabbed the following TPBs to give a try:
Supergirl: Power JLA: Salvation Run JLA: Greatest Stories Ever Told Detective Comics (Nu52): Emperor Penguin (volume 3) HC Detective Comics (Nu52): Gothtopia (volume 5) HC
Showcase Presents: Aquaman, v1 Showcase Presents: Brave and the Bold presents Batman Team-Ups, v1 Showcase Presents: Challengers of the Unknown, v1 and v2 Showcase Presents: Green Lantern, v1 Showcase Presents: Hawkman, v1 Showcase Presents: Phantom Stranger, v1
There are around 4,000 pages worth of stories there, and I paid just over $40 for all of it, which is a cool penny per page. Even if I don't like some of it, it's hardly a loss, and I can always give them to my daughter to read or take them to the local library to loan out.

Spent Saturday afternoon digging through boxes at All About Books and Comics discount store where all the boxes are filled with $1 comics. Been insane start to 2018 at work and I was in dire need of some ME time doing something relaxing and fun. Spent 2 hours in search of ancient treasures after going to the movies and seeing Paddington 2. Walking in they have a wall of pre-bagged collections discounted of mostly poor/read level copies of odds and ends. 1st things mine aged eyes land on: for $9 a pack of 6 old war comics with the facing front cover of Star Spangled War Stories #126 sporting a Kubert cover Sgt. Gorilla shooting at Nazi's with back facing issue is Dell Air War Stories #6 with a Kamikaze cover. Instant purchase! Included in the bag: Sgt Rock #205, GI Combat #143, Captain Storm #2 and Star Spangled War Stories #129 with the navy pilot reared by flying creatures fighting nazi's on a giant pterodactyl of course! a well spent $9 to be sure. My archaeological digging unearthed these gems all for a $1 each: Epic comics Tomb of Dracula by Wolfman, Colan, Williamson issues 1, 2, 3, 4 (amazing find where all 4 cost me what 1 issue would have cost at time of sale! Wahooooo) Underworld by Robert Loren Fleming and Ernie Colon issues 1, 2, 3, 4. MMMMMM Colon goodness! Shadow War of Hawkman by Isabella and Howell and Alcala mini-series issues 1, 2, 3, 4. time to fly the friendly skies. Used to have this and gave to a friend so now it is mine again Aloha, Hawaiian Dick by B. Clay Moore and Jacob Wyatt issues 1, 2, 3, 4. Had seen these on the shelf when new but never picked up. Since only $4 figure check it out and give it a once over! Blackhawk by Chaykin. The Prestige format mini issues 1, 2, 3. Chaykin at a buck each? Oh yes. Again had these at one time and traded in for credit so relive some memories Marvel Milestones issue reprinting Origin issue of Two-Gun Kid and Rawhide Kid all in one issue. Yippee Ki YAY cowboy!
