This Saturday, September 28, from 11am to 6pm, we join our downstairs neighbors Mind Cure Records in a Dollar Day Sale, only in our case it will be a three-for-a-dollar day sale!
Then, as soon as we've taken a minute to shift the store from sale mode to party mode, it's Santoro Con V: The Pompeii Release Party, from 7 to11pm!
And while we're on the subject of things Santoro, there may be some readers of this space who are unaware of the recently held Comics Workbook Compeition that Frank put together. There was a simply astonishing amount of great work that was submitted, all of which can be read online via this page announcing the winners that includes a complete list of entries following the announcement.
Just In Bargain: The Killer Inside Me - Only $4.95
Just arrived stock of copies of Jim Thompson's 1952 masterwork, The Killer Inside Me, which provides an astonishingly insightful look - through an unprecedentedly adept use of the literary device of "unfaithful narrator" - at the potential for deceit, corruption and abuse of power that comes with the authority of office, in this case, that of a small town Texas sheriff. Only $4.95!
And then there's this little gem from http://www.pierrefeuilleciseaux.com/

It's the 3138 Dobson Street 3rd Anniversary Celebration!
On Saturday and Sunday, June 29 & 30, 2013, The Copacetic Comics Company will be joining building mates Mind Cure Records and Lili Coffee Shop in celebrating our third anniversary at 3138 Dobson Street. Mark it on your calendar now and be sure to join us for Door Buster Bargains, Promotional Premiums, Deals Galore and more!
We've been stashing items all year and saving them especially for this event, so be prepared for some amazing deals! Needless to say, while we are confident that we have more than enough to go around, there are limited quantities of each particular item on offer for the event's super sale price, so come early for the best selection.
During the Celebration Sale, customers will be able to go BOGO – Buy One, Get One FREE on many of our back issues – including our crazy set bargains. Non-comics-reading Copacetic customers need not worry, as there will be specials on hand for all, including BOGO Books, DVDs and CDs. We're still cooking up deals, so check back...
First up: Mini Copacetic Notebooks and Sketchbooks – FREE to ALL, NO purchase required!
Next up, the second issue of Sammy Harkham's seminal anthology, Kramers Ergot will be on sale at the 3138 3rd Anniversary Celebration for a mere one dollar! (Copies of KE2 have gone for over $100.00 on Amazon. In fact, even now, if it weren't for us the cheapest you could get a new copy there would be $49.95 [+ shipping]!)
How about brand new hardcover copies of Gahan WIlson's masterpiece of childhood angst, Nuts ($19.99 retail), for $3.00?
And, for the eclectic readers among you, we will be offering these four - and maybe more - classic compendiums of Best American Nonrequired Reading, all of which include a healthy does of comics along with great fiction, essays, poetry, unlikely lists and more – all for only $3.00 each during the 3138 festivities.
We'll have a big stack of the excellent 2011 hardcover edition of Best American Comics, edited by Alison Bechdel, on hand for a mere $5.
And we're going to give Copacetic cutomers two great opportunities to support the home team:
First, the fantastic third Unicorn Mountain anthology, The Black Forest. Originally released at $25.00, we will have a nice stack of these at the celebration sale for the stunningly low price of $5.00. This is a limited edition of 500 copies, and they're almost gone...
Second, there will be copies of the recently released Memory anthology, edited by Jeremy Baum, on sale for $10.00. This book was published in an edition of 300 copies and retails for $18.00.
Our next celebration premium are these multi-colored notebook/sketchbooks (the pages are blank on one side, lined on the other) - FREE with any purchase of $25 or more.
And how about ALL our dollar comics being available for ... a quarter! Only during the 3138 celebration weekend.
(We're limiting purchases of these to 100 per person, to ensure that there will be enough to go around.)
More deals are on the way...
