Countdown to FCBD is ongoing – Wednesday, April 12th, 2023

Small DC week – the usual suspects.  Marvel ditto, with a new Guardians #1. Has to be at least one.  I generally hate the #’s as letters thing, but, whatever. Here’s one…W0RLDTR33 #1 (should have been A, I +h1nk). Hard to sort that one in the W’s, when it comes time.

Free Comic Book Day is only 24 days away, and Bob is planning on going back to the good-old pre-pandemic days of matching your paid receipt with equal values of books out on the sidewalk. Oh, and he’ll have 40-60 free comics to choose 3 from, as always. AND your old friend and receipt checker Ralph will be there to put it together and help! I know. That alone is enough to go the extra mile!  I’ll put together a list of official entries for 2023 in about a week.

We are still encouraging and welcoming masks, but not requiring them. You are only in our enclosed space for minutes, but Bob is there all day. We still need to be careful, people. I am going to talk to the one person reading this. We have put a TON of effort into clearing out the aisles and getting things in order, especially the books and Pops. Please tell Bob you appreciate how the store looks and feels. And help us keep them in order.

Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 8 across. So it’s a somewhat random sample. I’ll keep searching. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful.

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets. Watch this space and our Facebook page for the latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millennium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below. If you want to know about the next sale or store event, or whether or not WE ARE EVEN OPEN click here. Sign in here to get an email reminder for ALL sales and other events. Also, you can go to     fb.fantasybooksandgames.com and you’ll be taken to our Facebook page. We also use our in-store 5-Star Rewards system to text similar announcements to your phone.
