It's the flu season again, and the irony this year is that we actually got flu shots. Anyway, the last few days have been getting progressively worse and worse health-wise, so a quick trip to the doctor yesterday produced two things: 1) some very welcome medication, and 2) the news that the potency of this year's flu shots wasn't so great. Ya think?
So...being under the weather (and feeling more like being under the sink!), we're going to (regrettably) take a day off to nurse ourselves back to some semblance of health. Doctor's orders: plenty of hot liquids, meds, and SLEEP!
Thanks for reading, and we'll see you Saturday!

Just a quick note on Valentine's Day: It's a yucky, snowy, blustery afternoon, so we have decided to take an extra day off this weekend. Besides, it's Louis Riel Day on Monday. So we wish everyone to stay safe and warm in their homes, enjoy the love of Valentine's Day, and we'll see everyone again starting on Tuesday. Have a terrific holiday weekend and enjoy the break!

Here's something you haven't seen for a while: a posting!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
We wanted to take a few minutes out to let everyone know that progress is being made for the wind-down, which will be completed by the end of March. That means that interested parties have only about 6 weeks left before the regular store operation ceases.
One of three things will be happening on or before that time:
1) Interested party or parties will take over the operation and move it to a location of their choice.
2) Interested party or parties will want to obtain sections of the stock to incorporate into their existing operation.
3) The whole thing will revert to places where it can be dealt with if and when so chosen. (translation: we get a holiday...yay!)
You can see from the picture below that we've been doing some restocking on some of the anime figures, but this display won't last if only for any of the above reasons.
The building will commence undergoing redevelopment and some previously-accessible areas in the store may become less so in the next couple of weeks.
So...if there are item or items you're interested in, we recommend that you attend soon and often to make sure that you obtain as many as you can while they are still available.
There will be no events of any kind just to let you know ahead of time.
All this and more is happening as we head towards Spring and the end of a 39-year run at Comics America, 552 Academy Road.
Please join us to say hi, and have a great Valentine's weekend!

Today's subject is, of course...STAR WARS!

With the opening of the film, we celebrate all things Star Wars. Or at least if not absolutely ALL things, then certainly most things, as you can see from the picture below, wherein new spotlight just a few of the Star wars collectibles we still have available.

From the original Sideshow C3-PO/R2D2 monument, the full-size R2-D2s and Yoda available at the high end to exact replicas of the X-Wing and Millennium Falcon, to the original Millennium Falcon still in its box (from 1979!), to a batch of Star Wars Black series figures just put on display, and tons of other Star wars figures, ships, comics, and items, we have enough here to generate tons of gifts for fortunate recipients this Christmas!

Please join us today until 6 pm, Saturday 11 am to 6pm, and Sunday Noon to 5 to experience the variety of goodies available, as well as all the back issue comics, books, and other wonders on display, as our final holiday shopping season proceeds! All this and more is happening at Comics America, 552 Academy Road, as we bring down the curtain on 2015 with lots of fun!

Here are some quick updates on STUFF you may have forgotten about:

Barb has been diligently reworking the book racks to make things just a teeny tiny touch easier to find, especially if you're an IDW fan. Show on the upper left is part of just one display of some of the great IDW items that we offer, many of which are o/p.

On the upper right is one display of Pop figures which have been reset (and you'll be happy to note tag-updated), so there is less confusion and a better selection of some that you're probably looking for even now. And the tags are all current, so no confusion there either.

Lastly, here is just one small section of the statues and other collectibles that are available for your gift-giving and perusing!

All this and more is happening now to 6 pm at comics America, 552 Academy Road, where we are celebrating the second-last Saturday before Christmas with one heck of a selection of comics, magazines, action figures, back issues, collectibles and more!

Please join us for some fun and discovery on a great afternoon!

11/12/2015

Let's talk about all the terrific Anime figures that we present each and every day! Some of these are incredibly well sculpted and are ideal for the anime or manga fan on your Christmas list!

We have the largest and most diverse display of these and a whole ton of other great Statues and collectibles that you'll find anywhere in the city...maybe anywhere period...until we don't!

Please join us at 552 Academy Road to experience the diversity of goodies, perfect for everyone from any age!

People have been wondering what the back issue selection is like with regards to key books. We've had a smattering of stuff in the front counter and we keep adding to it, but it's a bit hard to see. We thought it would be a good idea to spotlight just a few goodies that are available right now (including a somewhat disproportionate picture of S.I. #1 done that way to fit the picture). Buy them as gifts for someone you know or even yourself, or just fill in spots in your own collection!

As we continue through our last holiday season, it's important that you know that these and a whole mess of other goodies are available....until they're not. Please join us for these and many, many more surprises, all happening at 552 Academy Road, open Tuesday through Sunday each week leading up to Christmas.

08/12/2015

It's December 8, and we're here from now until 6 pm for another exciting day of discovery and fun as we present one of the largest selections of gifts for Hanukkah and Christmas that you've probably seen anywhere!

Please join us at 552 Academy Road for this and much more! AND...as a special bonus, anyone spending $100 or more will receive a full-size one sheet poster from the tremendous new film The 5th Wave (starring Chloe Grace Moritz and opening in theatres January 15). The one sheet is exceptional (and is not shown here...this is a promo image we have).

All this and more is happening at Comics America, where we're presenting our last holiday season chock full of collectibles and goodies you won't find anywhere else!

Time to post!

The weather is incredible and this is our last holiday season, so please take the opportunity to avail yourselves of some of the finest collectible items you'll ever see, before they disappear!

Everything from rare back issue comics and magazines, books, anime figures, toys and games, gift certificates, statues and rare collectibles, to the unexpected can be found here!

We are open today until 6 pm and Sunday from Noon to 5, so if you want to experience a magical time and have some fun while searching for that special gift for that special someone (or even yourself!), then please join us at 552 Academy Road!

Happy Hannukah and Merry Christmas!

Just a quick note: Welcome to Hallowe'en weekend. During the past month we've been busy rearranging a lot of the books and other things in the store, anticipating the holiday shopping season which officially starts (sort of anyway) this weekend.

Please take the opportunity to come in and avail yourselves of the opportunity to "raid" our incredible storehouse of collectibles and other goodies which we have been augmenting each week with more warehouse "finds", before they are all gone, as this is going to be our LAST holiday shopping season. We want to stress that, as once this holiday season is up, the goodies will all be disappearing. Here is your chance to get the fine quality items you've been waiting to add to your collections, and without the hassle of on-line or the costs of showing up at a convention.

We have a "convention" here every day we're open and there's no admission charge!

Another last chance is to get the few remaining modular table sections that we've got available. They are 3/4 inch ply, 2 feet by 4 feet, bordered with 2 by 2, and ready for immediate use as gaming terrain surfaces, model railroad sections, or a plethora of other uses. And best of all they're inexpensive, so bring your conveyances and "convey" them away before someone else does!

Also, this weekend please join us in costume so we can hopefully get some terrific shots of great cosplay to post on the page over the next few weeks.

Fantastic finds and good deals are waiting for you every day at Comics America, 552 Academy Road. Enjoy Hallowe'en and we'll see you soon!
