LOCAL NEWS - Free Comic Book Day News!
Howdy!
It has been a crazy couple of weeks for us here at
Mile High Comics,
as we have been shutting
down our 56th Ave. headquarters building, and merging our online operations that had been located
there into our
Jason St. Mega-Store.
We owned the 56th Ave. building for 29 years, so our accumulation of merchandise and fixtures stored
in that 22,000 square foot building exceeded one million lbs! Suffice it to say, after loading and
then personally driving our rented 26' box truck to Jason St. over 100 times in four weeks, I am totally
worn out. We are now completely moved, however, so it was well worth the effort.
Empty 56th
Now that our move is complete, our next big challenge is to prepare for this year's May 7th
Free Comic Book Day event.
Despite our being preoccupied with moving, we still ordered over 30,000 copies
of this year's
50 FCBD
issues for our stores to give away. We are, however, scaling back on our hours a little
bit this year. For starters, we just do not have the manpower available this year to host a midnight pre-release
party, so we will need to defer that fun event to next year. Our
Glendale (Colorado Blvd.)
store will still be
opening at 8 AM on May 7th, however, while
Lakewood
and
Jason St.
will open that day at 9 AM. I highly encourage
you to show up early that day, as parking will be tight (especially at Glendale) and our supplies on a few of the
more eclectic FCBD issues are slim.

As regards our operating plan, it is basically the same as last year:
1) Everyone visiting one of
our stores
on May 7th will automatically receive 3 tickets which they can use to
select their choice of any of this year's
FCBD editions.
You can receive free tickets at each of our stores.

2) Empress 43 Norrie Reynolds, and a team of
Imperial Court
members, will then be offering additional FCBD
tickets at
Jason St.
in exchange for $1 donations. All of the money generated from these donations will go to the
White Rose Scholarship Fund,
which helps low income students remain in college. We raised over $8,000 for six deserving students at
Mile High Comics
through White Rose
during last year's Reign 42! If you really want to help this cause, a $40 donation to White Rose will earn you
a COMPLETE SET! of all 50 of the standard FCBD editions, plus a copy of our exclusive Mile High Comics
DC SUPERHERO GIRLS variant edition.
GRUMPY CAT FREE COMIC BOOK DAY
3) Another way to qualify for more FCBD tickets is by purchasing items through
our stores
over this next week,
starting today. For every $10 you spend with us, you will receive another FCBD ticket. This offer will also be
in effect on May 7th, so if you want to take advantage of our great specials that day, you will also receive
FCBD tickets on purchases that you make on FCBD. Here are our in-store discounts for May 7th:
All Back Issue Comics - 50% Off!
All Trade Paperbacks, and Comics Hardbacks - 40% Off!
All T-Shirts and Apparel - 40% Off!
All Toys and Action Figures - 40% Off
All Statues and Bisques - 40% Off!
SUICIDE SQUAD FREE COMIC BOOK DAY
My final bit of news for FCBD is that we will have a special team in place in the back of
Jason St.
specifically
tasked with searching our mail order inventory for special requests from our store visitors. If you have ever seen
something offered for sale on our
website
and wished that you could just buy it on the spot, next Saturday will
provide you with a golden opportunity. Bring your want list of comics that we offer on our website, and we'll pull
them for you while you wait! At the end of the day, this is the single most important benefit to you of our having
merged our online operations into Jason St.
Happy Collecting!
