About Us

Howdy! With only eight days left to go until Free Comic Book Day 2019, excitement is really building here at Mile High Comics. All 200 of the complete sets of all 53 of this year's variants that we are offering have now been collated, with over half already committed to fans, both via our Jason St. Mega-Store, and also to readers of this newsletter all around the world. Single issues are also going fast, with a slew of additional orders arriving each day, most with multiple requests for individual FCBD issues. This is fun!
If you have not yet reserved your complete set, I urge you to do so right away. We sold completely out last year, and expect to do so again, at least in part because your donation of $75 to Camp Aranu’tiq not only entitles you to not only all 53 of the standard 2019 editions, but also the free copies of our two exclusive Mile High Comics variant editions. Our post-FCBD price on just those two exclusive MHC variants will be $35, so your donation ahead of the event is a very good investment for 55 comics. Shipping this year is a flat $15 Domestic, and $30 International, with all orders containing any FCBD editions shipping on Monday, May 6th. Enjoy!
In other news, we have a huge Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament scheduled for in Jason St. on May 18th. That tournament will be a benefit to help the International Court System to cover the costs of setting up a National LGBTQ Wall of Honor in the historic Stonewall Inn, in New York City. A police crackdown on LGBTQ patrons at the Stonewall on June 28th, 1969 was the seminal point for the first violent resistance to the draconian anti-gay laws that were then in effect all across America.
In case you are wondering, my personal involvement with the Stonewall 50 celebrations is in my official capacity as ICS Imperial Crown Princess of the Americas. In that role, I have been honored to have been chosen to accompany our Queen Mother I of the Americas, Nicole the Great, to Stonewall on June 27th to help to dedicate that special wall in that historic building (it is now on America's register of Historic Places...) to the brave pioneers, such as Jose' Sarria, Harvey Milk, Frank Kameny, Barbara Gittings, and many others who gave up the relative safety of their closets in order to advocate for civil rights for the millions of LGBTQ Americans who were being oppressed.
What makes this all especially important to me is that it is widely held that it was the drag queens (including Sylvia Rivera), lesbians, and transgender girls who frequented Stonewall that threw the first punches (and bricks...) on the night that sparked those historic days of rebellion. I view my attending that ceremony at Stonewall on June 27th as Bettie Pages as a very personal way for me to honor the remarkable courage of those brave 1969 drag queens who, after decades of repression, finally resisted. Truth be told, the Stonewall is actually a very small bar, so for me to have been invited to personally participate in this historic celebration on June 27th is truly an honor.
If you would like to play in our May 18th poker tournament, it will begin at 11 AM, on the 18th. Buy-in is only $25, all of which will be reimbursed to you via a $25 gift certificate if you register in advance. Registration on the day of the tournament is also OK, but we urge you to arrive no later than 10 AM, as seats go fast. We had 81 players in our last tournament, and everyone had a great time! First prize is a $500 shopping spree, with $200 for second, and $100 each for 3rd-5th. And, just so you know, I personally donate all the gift certificate prizes to our tournaments, and then always donate 100% of the proceeds to that month's beneficiary.
My only other news for today is a quick reminder that you can still request one of this year's FCBD variant editions be included with your order at no charge for every $10 (net of discounts). Just let us know in the "Notes" as to which FCBD variants you would like to receive. Our current codeword is a 30% off FCBD! codeword that applies to all ten million+ back issue comics and magazines that we offer on our website. Only new issues, a few variants, and our professionally-graded items are excluded. Will and Pam just listed a ton of great back issues for you in our Premium New-In-Stock.
