News for the week of June 30 - July 6, 2008

I am trying to type this with dilated eyes - it doesnt work very well so this will be a very short column.

If you havent heard, Witchblade and Fathom artist Michael Turner died Friday night after an 8 year bout with cancer. Michael was actually one of the nicest guys working in comics. I flew Michael up a couple of times for signings back in the early 90's when he first started in comics including a signing the week Witchblade #1 came out back when almost no one had heard of him. Michael made friends with Jason Gorder who was working here at the time and ended up eventually hiring him to work for his company Aspen when he broke from Top Cow. Michael, whether you like his art or not, has had a huge impact on the way comics have been drawn in the past 15 years as so many other artits have incorporated bits of his wildly popular style into their own. His passing will have a huge impact on fandom.

This is the last week of cheap cd's. At 2 for a dollar this is your last chance to get them cheap before they go into storage and we dont see them again until the back room gets cleaned out in 10 years or we move to another spot and dont want to move them again. Increase your Karma points by taking a dozen or two home!

Each week I mention the new used graphic novel section and how much it is growing and look, here it is again - we got in a bunch more really great books in last week including lots of Unlimited Marvel books and Hulk graphic novels and some Justice League. If you have graphic novels you have read, trade them in for something new!

gotta run - my eyes are killing me. -Craig!
