Holiday Season Commences – Wednesday, October 4th, 2023

Okay, it’s finally morally okay to buy treat-sized candy bars, if not medically advised.

Lots of new books and Holiday Pops are in-house, so start making a list, or buying now to check off some gifts early and take it easy in December.  Only SOME of the comics represented this week: The Bat, the Ivy, the Beetle, the Joker, the Peacemaker, the Alien, the Panther, the Ghost, the Goblin, the Transformers, the Rocketeer, the Vampirella, and the Walking Dead. All pretty scary. ut 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. 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.
