newcoll
Mostly Marvel, with a few later DCs. Dazzler, Ka-Zar, Moon Knight, Micronauts, Star Wars, John Carter Warlord of Mars, and lots more! Come on by and check ’em out…we’re still getting these processed for sale, but if you see anything in the box that you have to have right now, we’ll price it on the spot!

One year later!

One year ago today, after a long, long time of managing a store for other folks, I opened my very own shop here in Camarillo, CA. I was pretty nervous about it, as you could probably imagine, but all of my customers have been great and very welcoming, and that nervousness quickly turned into a feeling of “why didn’t I do this sooner?”

Thank you all very much for your patronage and your patience over this first year, and I greatly look forward to continuing to serve up your regularly-required doses of comic books for years to come!

In other news…if you remember customer Mark’s great costume from Halloween, if you could pop over to Facebook and vote for him in the ComicFest costume contest, I’d really appreciate it! (Or you can just go to the main site and search “sterling silver comics” — his entry will pop up!)
