Long Hot Summer Starts – Wednesday, July 1st , 2026
Hot, Hot, Hot comics. Absolute, Amazing, and all that. Minnesotat is so hot it’s hard to work and think without AC, and my apt doesn’t make the cut. Anyway, here’s what Bob’s got…
Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.
Wednesday is still New Comic Day, for at least one more week. 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.
