AARDVARK/VANAHEIM Plenty of issues of Cerebus going back to around #30, plus Cerebus bi-weekly (reprints) and issues of Normalman and other AV oddities.
ACG Not exactly an overwhelming supply, but a solid smattering of Forbidden Worlds, Adventures into the Unknown, Herbies and a few others. Hey, if you're looking for Commander Battle and his Atomic Sub, ferget it!
ANTARCTIC PRESS Here is a company who's file has been enhanced by recent purchases. Various issues of Warrior Nun, Shotgun Mary and earlier titles such as Iczer Zone and Gold Digger are now in depth. Check COMICO and ETERNITY for earlier series of Robotech.
ATLAS/SEABOARD We have a very deep file for this 70's upstart. Near complete runs (short as they were) of almost everything except the magazine titles. Great issues by Ditko, Colon, Chaykin, Buckler, Hama and others!
CALIBER The output of this company has been wide, but fairly obscure. We have recently received a large group of Calibre books which are tough to find, including titles such as Negative Burn, early issues of Dead World and Saint Germaine. Many other obscurities and oddities.
CHAOS Recent purchases have expanded the Chaos! file immensely. In addition to Evil Ernie and Lady Death, we have little known titles such as Detonator and Lynch Mob. Ask us.
CHARLTON Like everyone else we have a hard time keeping stock on any sharp Ditko books, but there are always a few kicking around. In addition, we have an excellent selection of other (non-Ditko) Charlton books such as Ghostly Haunts, Fightin' Army, Timmy the Timid Ghost, and many more.
CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED A nice selection of various issues of the original (Gilberton) run are available, including some first printings. We also have a selection of the 2nd (First Comics) run.
CONTINUITY The output of Continuity is convoluted and bizarre, but we have quite a bit of it. From the early issues (Echo of Futurepast) to the late (Cyberrad) we can probably help you.
CRUSADE The output of Crusade has been limited primarily to Shi and a few other series, many of which we have. Ask about specific issues.
DARK HORSE We have an excellent back stock on many Dark Horse titles. From oddities like Propeller Man and Trekker to Star Wars and Ghost, our file covers a lot of ground. Recent aquisitions have made this file one of our best.
DC Certainly one of our most comprehensive holdings, the DC file is very deep on most titles back to the mid to late 60's. It has also certainly been helped by recent arrivals, especially: high grade early 70's books such as Weird War, Ghosts, Phantom Stranger, House of Mystery, and lower grade copies of many late 50's / early 60's books. We also have a decent selection of material back into the 50's, including Batman, Mystery in Space, Strange Adventures and others. Remember, when we say comprehensive, we're not kidding. If you're looking for strange and obscure titles such as Swing with Scooter, Outcasts, Nathanial Dusk, or Bomba, the Jungle Boy, we have them.
DELL Yow, Dell sure put out a lot of comics! We can't claim to have a comprehensive selection, (who can?) but recent buys have included near complete runs of Turok, Naza, Kona and many other titles. In addition, we've picked up a lot of Disney's and Four-Color's!
EC While we don't usually have them on hand in the store, we do have a fair selection of original EC's, primarily War, Sci-Fi, and Crime titles. (The horror books are increasingly difficult to keep available.) We do have, of course, a large group of the recent reprints from Gemstone and Gladstone as well.
ECLIPSE This is another company we are fairly deep on. I know you Alan Moore fans out there will be looking for issues of Miracleman. We currently have a few early issues (2-8), but very few later ones. Get in touch for details. Long runs of Scout, Airboy, DNAgents, plus ephemeral oddities such as Axel Pressbutton, Mad Dogs, and Somerset Holmes abound.
ETERNITY Of course we have issues of The Trouble with Girls! What store would be complete without them, or many other Eternity mainstays such as Lensman, Robotech, or War of the Worlds? We have runs of these books and many others.
FANTAGRAPHICS This is a pretty thin file, but we often acquire new issues. Please let us know what you're looking for.
FIRST COMICS We have an excellent selection of titles from First. Good runs of American Flagg, Warp, Grimjack, Starslayer and many others. Terrific books by Tim Truman, Angel Medina, Jim Starlin, Howard Chaykin and many others abound.
GOLD KEY Our file on Gold Key has grown dramatically over recent years, and now includes many early and premiere issues of titles such as George of the Jungle, The Jetsons, Hanna Barbera Super TV Heroes, Bullwinkle, Astro Boy, and so on. There are also plenty of other solid runs of Boris Karloff (and Karloffs' Thriller), Tarzan, Magnus, Star Trek, Twilight Zone and so on.
HARRIS Many issues of Harris' Vampirella are available, as well as some of their other short lived titles such as Q-Unit. See the Warren listing for early issues of Vampirella.
HARVEY We have a nice selection of many Harvey titles, including some recently acquired 50's horror titles! Wendy, Stumbo, Bunny, Richie Rich, and many others are available, including quite a few 25 cent Giants.
IMAGE Our Image file is quite heavy (all that enamel coated stock, don't you know). If you're looking for issues of Wildcats, Spawn, Youngblood and the like, we can help! In fact, with the recent aquisition of thosands of Image books, you'd be hard pressed to stump us.
INNOVATION Innovation titles are reasonably hard to find, but seem to be more collectable each year. The movie and TV properties continue to generate interest, and we have many of them, including issues of Forbidden Planet, Lost in Space, and Freddy's Nightmares. We also have much of the superhero part of the line, such as Justice Machine and Cobalt Blue.
KITCHEN SINK The mainstay of Kitchen Sink has, of course, been the Spirit. A fairly wide selection of the comicbook is available (though siphoned off a bit recently) while the magazine issues are quite tough to come by. Crow mini-series are available, as well as Death Rattle and many other Kitchen oddities.
MALIBU Those of you who are interested in Malibu's superhero line will find that we can help you. We have a terrific selection of their early books, relaunches, and Marvel merger issues.
MARVEL With DC, Marvel is the Big Daddy (with apologies to Tennessee Williams) of the Atlas file. We have a very comprehensive Marvel selection from the early 60's through today. Looking for Millie the Model? Omega the Unknown? Captain Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders? We have 'em, as well as solid runs of most major titles: Amazing Spider-Man back to #6, Fantastic Four back to #7, Uncanny X-Men back to #2, Avengers back to #8, and on and on. We also have a wide selection of the Epic line and many Marvel magazines. Recent purchases include early runs of Suspense, Spidey, FF, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Marvel Tales, Marvel Superheroes, high grade copies of early 70's reprints (Triple Action and such) and westerns, plus nearly 2 full runs of high grade Conans. In addition we have snagged high grade copies of early 70's Marvel mags such as Tales of the Zombie, Monsters Unleashed, Dracula Lives and others.
MILLENIUM Short lived, but they had a few titles of note, including Doc Savage. We do have a number of their books in our file.
NOW COMICS Who can forget the publisher of Green Hornet, Twilight Zone, The Terminator, Speed Racer, and Bats, Cats, and Cadillacs? We sure can't, because our file is full of runs of each of these titles, plus just about everything else which Now published over the years. The most recent material (from '92-'93) is the toughest to find, but we are now sorting a large purchase which includes much of this material. We have an outstanding all-around selection.
ONI PRESS Very new, but if you need Volcanic Revolver or Whiteout (among others), we can deliver.
QUALITY/FLEETWAY Lots and lots of the judicial titles (Judge Dredd, Judge Anderson, Judge Death), plus solid runs of many of their other titles, including Sam Slade, Slaine, and more.
RIP OFF PRESS "Mainline" books like Freak Brothers, Fat Freddies Cat, and Rip Off Comics are in pretty good supply, while other titles are spotty. Check with us for other undergrounds as well.
SIRIUS While the market for Sirius back issues has grown, some of the supply has diminished. We did, however, make a purchase which included Sirius titles published between '90 -'94 including Animal Mystic and others.
TEKNO COMICS (Big Entertainment) We have most of the comics published by this short lived giant. Books by Neil Gaiman, Leonard Nimoy, Gene Roddenberry have fueled a niche market for these books.
TOPPS Most of the Topps books are in good supply with the notable exception of Xena. Only a handful remain. X-Files, Kirby stuff, Zorro and others, all available.
VALIANT/ACCLAIM Oh, yeah, we have runs and runs of these books. They seem to have become passe' in recent years, but there was a lot of great work by Bob Layton, Barry Smith, Steve Ditko, Dave Lapham, Bart Sears, Joe Quesada, and others.
VIZ Recent issues are very thin, but we have a wide variety from their first couple years of output and a new buy has expanded the file.
WARREN Recent purchases have expanded the Warren stock tremendously. Middle to high grade copies of Creepy, Eerie and Vampi from the late 60's to early 70's abound, including all the 1972 Annuals and Vampi back to #2! New issues arrive semi-regularly. Certainly an underappreciated publisher considering the talents Jim Warren employed.
OTHER PUBLISHERS Remember, just because it's not on this list doesn't mean we don't have it! We have hundreds of titles by dozens of other publishers in addition to the ones listed above, including some books from the 40's and 50's.
