In the middle of the FCBD morning madness very kindly popped in and signed all of our Pablo and Splash books!

It was a great start to a great day, and if you know somebody who's into time travelling penguins (and let's face it, who isn't?) , then this is a great time to pick up a signed copy!

We've already sold about half of them, so get in before the rest disappear.

Thanks again to Sheena for taking the time to make some very excited children's day 😁

It's New Comic Book Day, and it's a big one this week.

The Marvel Spider-Man / Superman crossover is out. DC's version sold out last month, so I'd expect this one to sell out too. We've got a few variant covers as well, so let me know if you want one of those.

Plus there's a whole list of first issues.

's compelling "In Your Skin" begins, which follows a super fan's obsession with her idol.

There's a new adventure for Head Lopper, and the much awaited Co**se Knight, and a follow up to last year's hit, Event Horizon.

There's another issue of The Peril of the Brutal Dark, following Ezra Cain's investigation into a missing artifact, and also the next instalment of Tigress Island.

Plus Absolute Flash & Wonder Woman, more Rogue & Cyclops, Spider-Man, Captain America & loads more.

Don't forget that you can subscribe to any of these if you want to be sure to get your copy. I only get a few extra for the racks, so it's the best way to make sure you don't miss out. We have free copies of release lists for DC & Marvel if you want to see what's coming up.

Have a good week!!

Hello!

Free Comic Book Day on May 2nd also marks the return of our free art cards!

A while ago I approached a load of artists and asked them to make something specifically for us. The only condition was that it had to have a lighthouse in it, everything else was up to them.

That's resulted in 7 very different approaches and 7 very different images.

Some have gone for favourite characters, some for something a bit more experimental - but the good news for you is that we will be giving these out to customers again, for free, starting from May 2nd. 😊

Most cards will also have the artist's details on the back, so you can check out their other work, and (of course) we stock books by almost all of them. ❤️

The artists involved are .n9nth .ba & . So, a big thank you to them ❤️

I'm also hoping that we get one or two more in the next couple of months. Fingers crossed!

Have a great week, and see you on 2nd May!

Free Comic Book Day is on May 2nd this year and we will have about 700 comics, across 18 different titles to give out to visitors & customers.

These will include:

DC Next Level
Mega Man
Blue Lock
Sonic x DC
Energon Universe (Transformers / GI Joe / MASK)
Conan
Alien / Predator
Something is Killing the Children
Nice House on the Lake
Power Rangers
Avatar
X-Men Armageddon

& lots more!

The way it works will be familiar to those of you who came last year - anybody who comes in can get a free comic, anybody who buys anything can get two more.

We'll have surprise bags & sweets and lots of comics and graphic novels, as always.

It's going to be a great day, so pop down and get your free comic!

There is an FAQ here: https://lighthousecomics.co.uk/blogs/news/free-comic-book-day-faq-1

PS - .n9nth did this poster. He hand drew all the different characters, if anybody needs any art or graphic design get in touch with him.

Sometimes something comes along that makes you bend the rules.

This is Hortari, a gorgeous illustrated book about little-known explorers, by .

The more observant amongst you will have noticed that this is not, strictly speaking, a graphic novel, and Lighthouse Comics only stocks graphic novels. Luckily I'm the boss and I can change the rules, so it's all fine.

This is a lovely book, ideal as a present for yourself or a loved one. The illustrations are beautiful, the stories interesting, and it would make the perfect companion for a lazy afternoon with a cup of tea.

Have a great weekend!

It's New Comic Book Day!

This week the undoubted highlight is Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla, by Tom Scioli. Fans of his earlier work Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theatre, featuring the Great Gatsby, Sherlock Holmes, the man from the Time Machine and Dracula are in for a treat!

Plus there are new series for Firestorm and Venom, an X-men Annual and more Vertigo - with Bleeding Hearts and The Nice House By The Sea.

The breakout Image hit D'Orc also has a new issue this week and we've got more copies of issue 1 as well, if you missed that first time round.

We've also added some back issues to the shop, featuring titles from the 70s, and a box of original Vertigo comics, so check those out too.

Finally, don't forget that everybody's favourite day of the year, Free Comic Book Day, is on May 2nd. Keep an eye out for more info soon. 🙂

Enjoy the weather!
