HEY! WANNA PRE-BUY YOUR COPY OF SCOTT PILGRIM 6?
Posted Monday, July 12, 2010
Hey! We know that you're the WORLD'S BIGGEST SCOTT PILGRIM FAN, and you wanna make sure that come midnight, you're GUARANTEED to get a copy of Scott Pilgrim Volume 6! Now, we've ordered a lot (a LOT) of copies of SCOTT PILGRIM'S FINEST HOUR, but we understand that some people wanna have that signed, sealed, and delivered. So here's what we're going to do:
Pre-purchase your copy of Scott Pilgrim Volume 6: Scott Pilgrim's Finest hour for $15 (taxes included), and you'll get a voucher that you can redeem for one copy of the book AND one limited edition print, featuring original art by Bryan Lee O'Malley! Note: prints are limited to the first 1000 copies sold.
Vouchers are available starting today at The Beguiling, and can be redeemed starting at 12:01am on Tuesday July 20th, and are good for the rest of 2010. And hey, don't forget about our AWESOME Scott Pilgrim 6 Launch Party on Monday June 19th, featuring author Bryan Lee O'Malley and tons of special events...!
Please note: We are not accepting phone or internet orders for this voucher. Sales are for in-store pick-up only. We will be opening mailorder sales starting on Wednesday, July 21st. Sorry, we know there are a lot of international Scott Pilgrim fans, and a lot of local fans who can't make it to the store, but we're really trying to encourage people to support--and visit--their local comic book shops. But come Wednesday if your shop can't help you out--we'll be there.
Alright! If you've still got questions you can email us! But long story short: Come into the store, drop $15 on the counter, walk away with a guaranteed copy of Scott Pilgrim 6 AND a cool print! Easy.

A couple of neat new back issue collections have come in...
Posted Friday, July 9, 2010
We don't normally post about back-issue acquisitions, because we have collections of varying grades and ages trickling into the store non-stop, all of the time--and most of them end up in the 50 cent bin. But we had a couple of neat things show up in-store that some of our customers might be interested in:
- A giant collection of low-grade Dell & Gold Key from the 60s onward, all priced at between $1.00 and $3.00. A few Archies in there as well. - A near-complete run of Miracleman in pretty high grade
- A scattershot collection of 3-D comics, including some pricey 3-D rarities
- A bunch of medium/low grade Silver-Age superhero material.
- A ton of 90s superhero stuff in the 50cent bin.
- A low/mid-grade Silver Surfer 1, 2, & 4
- Some gorgeous older Dells
All of them are in various clearly-marked boxes on the second floor.
Oh, and as a reminder, we're continuing our 50% off sticker-price variant covers sale through the weekend.
