Collections in Black at The August Wilson Center

Posted on 27 December 22:12 (25 days ago)

In Pittsburgh?  Looking for something COMICS to do over the holiday break? Check out COLLECTIONS IN BLACK, at the August Wilson Center through January 12, 2025.  It’s an amazing exhibit filled with rare original art, comic books, documents and more!  Read all about it in Matt Petras's in-depth article at the City Paper.

UPDATE:  There will be one more LAST CHANCE to see the show:  at the Closing Reception of Thursday, January 16, from 6pm to 10pm  – and Copacetic ... may NOT be in the house, after all, due to the snow :(

PLUS, there is an accompanying  40-minute documentary film by the exhibition’s curator, Phillip Thompson looping continuously in a screening room off the main exhibition rooms. >>> Check out the Trailer <<<
 
Also: FREE admission!  
 
PLEASE NOTE: The August Wilson Center has limited hours, so plan accordingly.  Thu + Fri:  3pm - 6pm;  Sat + Sun: 1pm - 5pm;  Mon, Tue + Wed: CLOSED
 
It’s possible they are having different hours over the holiday, so you could call first:  (412) 339-1011
 
Regardless, don’t miss your chance to be able to say, ten years from now, "Yeah, I caught that show.  I was there."

The 2024 Copacetic Holiday Gift Catalogue | Last Minute Christmas Shopping? Yes, at Doomed Planet Comics!

Posted on 03 December 11:12 (about 2 months ago)

For those of you who would like some guidance in their holiday shopping, we've put together a selection of 2024 releases that have been duly adjudged worthy and assembled them together in The 2024 Copacetic Holiday Gift Catalogue!

While it is now, in all likelihood, too late to place orders here and get them in time for Christmas – it's not too late for Pittsburgh area customers to get most of what we have on offer (except for the Holiday Set Specials, which are only available from Copacetic) – plus plenty that we don't – at Doomed Planet Comics at our old digs on the third floor of 3138 Dobson Street, as they are open extended hours this week — all the way up to 6:00pm on Christmas Eve! 

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

The 2024 Holiday Season Is Nigh Upon Us

Posted on 22 November 14:11 (2 months ago)

That's right! And, we're already getting underway, and have already set up our 2024 Holiday Gift Catalogue on which we are listing those 2024 releases that seem best suited for holiday gifts AND creating custom Copacetic Holiday Set Specials (a few of which are shown below).  We will continue to add items and create new sets over the coming weeks, so check back.  Also, especially when it comes to the custom Set Specials, keep in mind that some items are sure to sell out.

ALSO:  We are in the process of creating a BLACK FRIDAY => CYBER MONDAY sale page which will feature some serious deals – but also, again, limitied quantities. The page will go up early on Friday (11/29) and come down late on Monday (12/2).  So, heads up!
