Howdy!

I spent this morning renting a small U-Haul box truck so that I could haul the 18,000+ comics and magazines that I purchased here in Texas over to the Dallas FedEx Freight terminal. Through a stroke of good fortune, it turned out that I had picked up exactly enough comics during this trip to fill one six-foot pallet, which will save us considerably on our shipping costs. Stacking that top row proved to be a bit of a challenge, however, as long boxes filled with newer comics now weigh upwards of 65 lbs. My neck will probably still be feeling the strain of that heavy lifting tomorrow...


2,670 lbs of Comics!

With my 2,760 lbs of newly-purchased comics on their way to Denver, I am now free to take a moment to reflect on my lifetime in the comics world. The 40th anniversary of my opening day of the very first Mile High Comics retail location is next Tuesday, so there's definitely a lot to for me to remember, and also to reflect upon. It makes me very happy, for example, to contemplate that over 500,000 comics fans have trusted us over the past 40 years to help them to build their collections. I lost count of the exact number long ago, but I'm estimating that we have now successfully shipped approximately three million orders, to comics fans living in just about every country on the globe. What a fun adventure this life has been!

What really matters to me, however, is that I still feel every day that I am absolutely blessed to have the very best career of anyone in the world. I still get to travel frequently to all sorts of destinations, and once I arrive, I get to be with people who frequently share my same passions for comics and graphic story-telling. I also get to work every day with some of the very nicest and most dedicated people I that have ever met. They, in turn, then help me to bring great joy to comics fans throughout the world. Without a doubt, I truly have been blessed by Providence.

So what does the future hold? Even more decades in the comics biz, I hope. While I am about to turn 60 years old, I have become an extremely health-conscious person, switching to a vegetarian diet four years ago, and am now working out with weights and cardio several times a week. As a result, I feel healthier today than I did 30 years ago, when I was up to 40 lbs heavier, and ate all kinds of toxic processed foods. I believe that lifestyle change is critically important for my future, as I really want nothing more than to keep right on buying and selling old comic books for at least another 20 years. Simply put, my own happiness derives from my knowing that receiving a package from us will make so many people's days just a little bit better, and somewhat easier to bear. Having that goal in mind, is precisely what makes it so easy for me to go to work each day...

In other news, our Mile High Comics exclusive variant edition of THOR (2014) #1 will be releasing next Wednesday. If you hurry, you can still ore-order your copy for only $14.95 from Greg or Mario in our subscription division. Call them (weekdays 9-5) at 303-455-2659, or write to them at nice@milehighcomics.com. Our day-of-release price for this very limited edition variant is $19.95. In both instances, however, we do request that you order no more than five copies. Simply put, I try to limit how many copies of our variants are in circulation at any given point in time, as I am very dedicated to the premise that we never wholesale our variants, and (most importantly) that we will always protect their resale values for you in the secondary market.
