Comics that is, not women.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Okay, sometimes women.<\/p>\n
Today I was stopping by Dreamwell Comics to say howdy to proprietors Tim and Don and maybe pick up a few items that our customers were looking for. To my delight, I pulled up to find them having their annual sidewalk sale. Thirty long boxes full of comics priced at ten cents a piece! Not only that, they were selling all their trades and collections for half off. The only bad thing was having to deal with the sun beating down on me while I frantically scoured the boxes looking for gems to add to my collection. I finally gave up about seventy-five percent of the way through back stock graveyard (the sting of sweat in my eyes was taking it’s toll) and ended up walking away with a hundred choice items including a ton American Flagg, Shadow and Whisper. I also picked up the first six issues of Echo by Terry Moore and a hardbound edition of Sloth by Gilbert Hernandez. There were various other finds, a copy of Nexus here, some New Universal there, but the big prize of the day was finding Void Indigo number one. Here’s a link to the wikipedia page<\/a> for it. I had obtained a copy of the graphic novel years and years ago at a used record store that used to be on Sahara and Maryland Parkway that also carried old comics. It then sat on a shelf with dozens of other books I grabbed at the place, unread, until a few years back. I was lucky enough to come across a copy of issue two while I was pricing back issues for the store<\/a> last month. I thought this was the greatest thing ever as I hadn’t dreamed of ever coming across these books. So imagine my surprise as I was digging through those last few boxes today, long after I had started telling myself it was time to go, and came across issue one… If you’re interested, you can see how the series would have wound up by going here<\/a>. I’ve had this summary for a long time now and was going to just post it up, but the good folks at wikipedia provided me with a handy link. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Comics that is, not women. … Okay, sometimes women.
