SO one of the sale events I went to was at Bookery Fantasy in Fairborn. They had bought several collections for the high end books, but were clearing out the filler form those collections at 99 cents a book, and had about 8 tables of longboxes available. I went the second day of the sale and spent an afternoon digging through the boxes and came home with this... ... A lot of nice stuff, but I'm still amazed that those Black Hoods with Fox stories are still in dollar boxes. Not only are they 40(!) years old, but they contain outstanding, essentially free-standing, stories by Toth at the top of his game.

No luck for the strippers. Was that by A.A. Fair? Deep cut!

This California comic store is singing the blues and closing down... It’s not only there. Comic stores are closing all over. That's a shame. I was in two different stores the past two saturdays--just about the first times I've been in store in years where I wasn't there to get "supplies"--and kind've gotten the bug to start making it a regular thing again.
Now two of my three purchases were gifts, but I saw plenty of stuff I've been meaning to get, even if it meant paying (gasp!) full retail.

Missed a real opportunity here by not having "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" on the mirror. Was putting that on a side view mirror a thing in 79? According to Quora, the first regulation was in '66, though they may not have been common until later.

I’m reading this as comic strips being unwelcome this year. Yes, the strips are sitting this one out.
Cei-U! Sorry, strip aficianados!
Ack! Strips are where my head went first!

Found something kind of interesting at work today that I later bought Clearly it was very "well loved" by it's previous owner. Hopefully it'll be good reading from all the praise I've heard about it I hope you enjoy it, Concrete really floored me when it came out and was part of me starting to move more beyond my usual superhero fare. It's not a "dramatic" read so much that grips you in an action sense, but rather a very quirky premise with some very witty writing you kind of just have to experience. It may or may not grip you similarly of course, but congratulations on picking it up and having an opportunity to give it a go. I came to Concrete late, but really enjoyed the various minis that came out after the series
