Hi guys,

For those who haven't already heard, I just wanted to let everyone here know about the Malaysian Games and Comic Convention 2012 that's coming up soon.

I've been reading this thread for a while (without posting!!) and I've noticed that some people here are looking for back issues. Well you might be interested to know that my friends and I will be selling loads of back issues at the Con.

We'll have literally thousands of comics for sale starting from RM2. Titles include X-Men, Avengers, Batman, Spidey books and much much more.

Look for us at the Apokolips Galeria booth. It'll be the one with all the cool comics

For those who haven't clicked on hadijalil's link...it's on the 19th & 20th May, from 10am to 6pm. At KDU.

Just to update everyone, these are some of the harder-to-find comics that we'll be selling this weekend:

Hulk # 181
Fantastic Four # 48-50
New Mutants # 98
Amazing Spider-Man # 298-300
Batman # 426-429
Batman: Vengeance of Bane # 1
Crisis On Infinite Earths # 1-12

Hope to see some of you guys at the Con!

Why don't you come over to the Con to check it out? I wouldn't want to start a price war on this thread as another guy is also selling it.

Hey guys,

Just a heads up for all you collectors - I've posted an ad in the Street Mart about a comic sale my friends & I are having this weekend. Check it out:

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words bro

Yeah, my friends and I were at the Malaysian Comics Con...we were the Apokolips Galeria booth. I have to say though that it was so hectic then I didn't have time to ask any of our customers if they were Lowyat forumers...

Sorry to hear you won't be around this weekend...thought most people would already be back and resting at home after balik kampung for Raya holidays...

Thanks man !

wildhawk: I know Mind Shop ships orders to outstation customers but I don't know if they do it weekly or monthly. Chances are if you pay for it I don't see why they can't courier your comics to you.

munchoong: Does everyone pay USD x 4.2 at CC? What happened to their 20% discount for members?

Wow. No discount and paying the standard 4.2 rate is a really bad deal. When I stopped buying from them they still had discounts for members. Of course that was 10 years ago

As for Splash Page Comics, the reason their books arrive later is because they get their shipment from Mind Shop too. Same goes for Earth 638.

I doubt Mae can give you any discounts on back issues. You've gotta talk to her dad. Or Alex if you can find him.

And yeah, CC can bring anything they want. And I mean anything, because that family has connections.

Doesn't mean it's a good thing though. Back when they were really invested in comics, they screwed the other shops quite a bit.

So contributors get an exclusive hardcover? Do you need to pay for that or is it a FOC thank-you gesture?

Sent you a PM

Hi guys. Just wanted to let everyone know that my friends and I are having a comics sale this Saturday, 8th June at TTDI.

Go here for more details:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2836788

Hope to see lots of collectors there. Drop by if you're free. You don't even have to buy stuff; just come over to meet other fanboys and talk comics if you want to.

Thanks!

Whoa! Don't artists sign for free, especially at Cons? Unless he added a sketch, USD20 is freakin' expensive, no?

At smaller Cons, sure. But not at large Cons where publishers make the artists available for signings.

Yeah, but you were paying Mile High, not the artists themselves. It's just like when Final Frontier brought Jae Lee in for a signing and charged RM50 for his autograph.

And no comment on Hollywood celeb autographs; I have no idea what the protocol is for those.

I guess I misunderstood cjlio1's post; I thought he meant he Jim Lee himself was charging for a signature. Buying a voucher or paying an entry fee for a signing I can understand.

munchoong & hadijajlil - To paraphrase a certain Soviet spy, "You and I remember the 90s very differently."

I hated the 90s trend of "special covers". To me, that was the lowest point in my comic collecting days. The only hologram covers I had were the Fatal Attractions covers & the Wolverine 100 and I was so happy when I sold 'em off.

It really felt like Marvel & DC were promoting the covers more than the actual content. I know there were some pretty good comics back then, but they got lost in all the hype about the next hologram die-cut 3D super-imposed glow in the dark cover. It was just annoying.

Thank goodness for Vertigo, Independents & back issues...

OMG!!! That's a dream come true for me!!! I need to do that or I'll never stop thinking about it! Why didn't I think of that? That's brilliant!!!

Hey fanboys! There's a comic event happening tomorrow, Sunday 12th October. Check it out...

Heads up comic fans! Shioktoys Collectibles is hosting a Batman Day Event on September 24th at eCurve! And yes, there will be comics for sale! Check out the details here:
