Free Marvel Comics Variants Deadpool, Hulk, Capt. Am., FF, Guardians Howdy! It is finally bright and sunny here in Colorado, after a spring of seemingly incessant snowstorms. Just last week we were recovering from 10 inches of snow, and yet today, it is supposed to be above 80 degrees. Crazy weather! The good news is that Mother's Day was really nice, which meant that we were able to toast Nanette with homemade "Mom osas!" and delicious German pancakes made by our daughter Rowan, and her fiancé, Justin Ehart. Nanette - Mother's Day 2013 After our Mom's Day celebrations, I worked for a while in Denver. My main project right now is getting all of the arrangements made for our upcoming opening night party on May 30th for this year's Denver Comic-Con. I realize that this party has minimal application for those of you who shop with us online, but I will mention that, as a part of my party preparations, that I made a written offer this morning to yet another key Silver Age creator (in addition to Neal Adams) to sign autographs for you. If he agrees, I will let you know all the details about ordering his autographs on Wednesday. Speaking of Neal Adams, we are starting to run low on copies of a couple of the books that we offered to you for Neal's signature. If you still wish to have a book signed by Neal, please do order right away from the list at the end of this newsletter. We do also have quite a few Neal Adams comics listed on our website, such as all his Continuity Publications works. Neal will also sign individual comics for the same $12 per piece honorarium. Each signed item comes with a nice certificate of authenticity. In other news, our ongoing 40% off NEALADAMS codeword sale on all of our back issue comics and magazines is also proving to be very popular. With Pam's inventory team currently adding 3,000+ more back issues into our New-In-Stock inventory every day, our online listings continue to grow vigorously for you. You can also still earn free shipping on all domestic comics and magazine orders over $30, and all International orders over $60. Rates from our shippers have recently gone up, however, so we will be bumping our domestic minimum to $35 next week, and our International minimum to $75. Not a big change, but enough to help us to cover at least part of the increase in costs... Moving on, my biggest news item for today is the release of five more Phantom Group variant editions. For those of you who missed my previous announcements, the Phantom Group is a consortium of 20 select comics retailers, who combine to print limited edition variant covers. We have printed 36 variants to date, and have been blessed to have chosen some of the very best comics released during the past year. We recently printed a special full color brochure featuring the first 31 Phantom Group editions. I am asking Lynne to reproduce that brochure for you at the end of this newsletter. Aside from simply wanting to show you how cool that they all look together, I wanted to be able to mention that we purchased enough copies of these variants that we do still have all 36 of the Phantom Group editions in stock. That having been said, they are selling steadily for us, and if the current pace continues, we will start running out of stock of certain Phantom Group variants over the next 60 days. In the meantime, however, you do still have a limited time left to put together a full set of these cool variants. To help you get started, I am going to offer you today a few of the most popular Phantom Group editions as completely free bonus items. Here are the details: For a $50 order you can chose one of the following: BLACK BAT (2013) #1 PHANTOM Just In! CHIN MUSIC (2013) #1 PHANTOM Just In! IRON MAN (2012) #9 PHANTOM Just In!

To receive your free Phantom Group variant editions, simply place your order with us via our website, and then request your selections in the "notes" section of our online order form. Well, that's it for today. I now need to hustle on down to Denver and help Steve Hnat with sorting through one million back issues that are stored in the back of our Jason St. Mega-Store. We have a client who wants us to ship him 100,000+ comics, and is willing to accept pretty much any title. Filling that large of an order is hard work, but it does help create more space...
