60% Off Sale on Back Issue Comics and Books Ending Monday ! Howdy! Chris Clarement (click on image for larger view) A quick newsletter today, as I need to drive out to the Denver airport to pick up Chris Claremont, our guest for is weekend's once-a-month sale and auction at our new Jason St. Mega-Store. Being able to have some quiet time to chat with Chris is always a treat for me, as we have been close personal friends for over three decades. Back in the early 1980's, when Chris was writing some of his most memorable and popular X-MEN stories, I was trying to change the comics world by working on distribution strategies with Jim Shooter, who was then Chris's editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics. By day, I would participate in meetings with Jim (and other Marvel executives) about how to improve comics sales throughout the world, and then I would take the subway in the early evening to Chris's apartment in north Manhattan. Chris was gracious enough in those days to let me sleep on his couch, which saved me several hundred dollars per New York trip in hotel costs. I have never forgotten Chris's kindness, and the great times that we shared in those sun-filled, and endlessly optimistic days of our youth. Speaking of sunshine, the positive weather report for Chris's signing is still holding. In theory, a weak cold front is supposed to move through the Denver area on Saturday morning, but any possible snow should hold off until the evening. Since Chris will only be signing free autographs tomorrow from 10 AM - 2 PM, we should be OK. My 1,000 item no-minimum-bid comics and collectibles auction will take place from Noon - 3 PM, so that should be fine, too. We also already have all of the huge heaters in the Jason St. Warehouse engaged at full blast, so the Mega-Store should be nice and toasty warm by tomorrow morning. If you live near Denver, and can come by to see Chris tomorrow, please do! For those of you who cannot attend tomorrow's Jason St. sale in person, we did offer the option of requesting Chris's autograph in advance via our website. I am afraid that option is now closed, as we just cannot process any more individual requests. I do already have an invitation out to yet another noteworthy comics creator to attend our February 4th Jason St. signing party, however, so more autograph opportunities will be forthcoming. There is also a small listing of six Denver-area comics creators listed at the end of this newsletter, who will also be signing autographs tomorrow at Jason St. We will be picking up a few of each of their comics, and will offer you a chance to have them signed next week. Suffice it to say, our obtaining the Jason St. warehouse has opened wide this new opportunity for autograph events, and we are going to do our best to include you in all of the fun! Two other quick news notes for today. First my East Coast assistant, Ashley Imbese, will be manning a couple of tables for us at my friend, John Paul's, Clifton, NJ comics show this Sunday. If you have never attended the John Paul's Clifton or East Hanover shows, you really, really should. Aside from the fact that John Paul is one of the very nicest people on the entire planet, the Clifton community center building is one of the most pleasant places that I have ever been for a small one-day comics show. The 30 comics dealers who exhibit at Clifton and East Hanover are also exceptionally good people, and since most of them are local (and thus have minimal expenses) can offer fans a surprisingly wide selection of back issue comics, at astoundingly low prices. Were I not hosting our own event this weekend, I would have been tempted to pop on a plane tomorrow, just to attend Clifton. I'm getting lots of really good things done here in Denver right now, but I also miss my friends in New Jersey, and especially Ashley, very, very much. My final item for today is a quick reminder that our annual 60% off NEWYEAR codeword sale will be ending next Monday, at Noon. I will have other great codeword sales for you during both January, and all of 2012, but I doubt if I am going back to offering 60% off any time soon. As much as we sincerely appreciate your kindness and patronage, we earn darn near nothing on orders that we receive at 60% off, so continuing to offer such steep discounts indefinitely is just not a good strategy for the longer term health of the company. Please do enjoy this last weekend of 60% off savings, with our sincere thanks for all of your help and kindness during 2011. Happy Collecting! Chuck Rozanski, President - Mile High Comics, Inc. January 6, 2012 Advance Previews of next weeks comics from Archie Comics Denver-Area Comics Creators - Meet and Greet Saturday January 7th, 10am - 3pm (Jason Street Mega Store, Denver CO 80211, 303-477-0042) Kristian Navant - Divine Reich Stan Yan - Vincent Price Presents Dan Conner - Heaven Forbid Scott Bedford - DEBEniX Studios Chad Blakely - Kidnapping Kevin Smith Noah Van Sciver - Blammo P.S. I did want to let you know that I have been continuing to find very nice groupings of older comics on the pallets that I have been sorting in Jason St., as well as an amazing number of hard-to-find recent back issues. Our New-In-Stock and Premium New-In-Stock links contain the entire listings from the past two weeks, but below you will find a nice sampling of titles and issues numbers of scarce comics that I have located over just the past few days.
