LOCAL NEWS - GOTHAM Artist Matt Haley Appearing At Mile High Comics
Howdy!
I have some wonderful news for you this morning from
Mile High Comics.
After months of extremely strenuous
effort, I am thrilled to be able to let you know that we are completely caught up with the backlog of
website
orders that resulted from our recent consolidation of our website division into the back of our
Jason St. Mega-Store.
We are at the point now where website orders for comics and books received overnight have an excellent
prospect of being shipped that very same day. Suffice it to say, this is a milestone event that all of us who
work at
Mile High Comics
have been seeking for a very long time.
While our being caught up with our online efforts is nice for us, I am sure that you are wondering why I think
that this milestone has any positive benefit for you. Well, it all goes back to a dream of mine to be able to
create a single immense facility where comics fans could have instant access to our entire online inventory.
Previously, we allowed orders to be placed for comics to be delivered to
our stores,
but a misguided policy that
was in place for many years put those store orders to the end of the order line. As a result, a simple order for
just one back issue comic could sometimes take weeks to be delivered to the store, depending entirely on how
current the shipping of website orders was at the time that the store order was placed.
When I discovered that this was happening, I changed our system to prioritize requests made by our clients who
shopped at
our retail stores.
Even after my intervention, however, our system of fulfilling requests from
our retail store
patrons remained clunky, at best. When I discovered that was the case, I decided that the only way to get store
orders delivered with lightening speed was to simply eliminate our entire shipping backlog. The disruptions caused
by our moving out of 56th Ave. made my goal a little more difficult to achieve, but after seven weeks of concerted
effort, we finally made it! I cannot even begin to express to you how happy this has made me.
Where this leaves us is that those of you who shop at our
Lakewood
and
Glendale
stores can now place an order for
back issues and/or books from
our website,
and it will be delivered to you within just a couple of days, at most. The only inhibitor to our speed of delivery
to you at this point is if someone working at your store happens to be stopping by
Jason St.
that morning. As for
those of you who visit Jason St., if you place a website order with us one day, it should be available for you at
the front counter by the next afternoon.
If you want even faster speed, stop by the special orders counter that we are building in the back of
Jason
this
weekend, and we will instantly fill your order for you. We tested this program on Free Comic Book Day, and it
worked quite well. After five years of planning, my dream of providing instant access to our entire website inventory
is finally coming true. I think you are going to really like this awesome improvement to our service!
Moving on to another topic, I did want to also mention that we are continuing to work on our
Denver Comic Con Pre-Party. It will be held next Thursday, June 16th, from 5-9 PM. We will have about 25 comics creators
signing autographs, a wonderful free wrestling exhibition by the pros from
New Era Wrestling,
a
White Rose
bake sale, and
many other fun events that are still in the planning stages.
NEW ERA PRO WRESTLING
As an aside, if you might be able to bring a small quantity of baked goods that evening for the
White Rose Scholarship Fund
bake sale, your contribution would be greatly appreciated. White Rose is our charitable beneficiary for the evening, and
I can personally assure that they help struggling students to stay in school via small grants.

MATT HALEY
P.S. GOTHAM artist, Matt Haley, is one of our special guests at our party. I can't wait to chat with him, as he was
the art director on COMIC-CON EPISODE IV: A FAN'S HOPE, the epic Morgan Spurlock documentary about San Diego Comic-Con. I
was blessed to be one of the lead characters in that film, so I am curious to hear his take on the hundreds of scenes which
we shot that didn't make it into the final cut. Matt is also an excellent artist, having worked on GHOST for Dark Horse as
well as several BATMAN Elseworlds books for DC. Visit his
website
to view a sampling of his great comics work:
