Hi, friends! Sterling Silver Comics will be open at least from 12 noon ’til 4 PM this Easter Sunday, March 27th. However, if things are busy enough, the store will stay open later, possibly even ’til the regular Sunday closing time of 6 PM if business warrants. I am only guaranteeing I’ll be around until 4 PM that day, however, so if you plan on arriving later, call ahead (805-484-4708) and make sure I’m still there!

Thank you, and enjoy your Easter!

My grandmother passed away last Sunday, and I will be attending a family gathering in her honor in the early afternoon this Friday the 15th. As a result, Sterling Silver Comics will not open until approximately 3 PM that day. I apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for understanding.

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!)
