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...

Saturday, May 18 - The Official MEMORY Release Party
|
Please join us on the evening of Saturday, May 18, from 6pm to 9pm to celebrate the release of Jeremy Baum's anthology of comics and illustration, Memory.
This 186 page anthology of comics and illustration based (to varying degrees) on the theme of human memory is the brainchild of Pittsburgh-based artist and publisher, Jeremy Baum. Made possible by a successful Kickstarter campaign, this project was steadily piloted through the self-publishing obstacle course by Captain Baum, who made the trip from conception to publication in very good time. Memory contains full color, duotone and black & white work of 50 creators from Pittsburgh and beyond and is notable for containing the work of many international contributors, including Jelena Dordevic (Serbia), Nicolò Pellizon & Daniele Giardini (Italy), Diego Tripodi & Diego Simone (Argentina), Tim Molloy (Australia), Sara Skogsberg (Sweden) and César Sebastián Diaz (Spain). Numbering among the contributors as well are household names (well, among hardcore indy-comics households, anyway) such as Eric "Tales to Demolish" Haven, Hans "Chrome Fetus" Rickheit. Pittsburgh is very much in the house in Memory, represented most notably by Jim Rugg, who provided the cover illustration, along with too many to mention here, including Shawn Atkins, Jessica Heberle, Nick Marino, Nate McDonough, Steph Neary, Tom Scioli, Nils Skeletonballs, Julie Sokolow (whose 10-page contribution is the most formally inventive of the collection and a real stand out), Brenna Sydel, Copacetic's own Bill Boichel, and, of course, Jeremy Baum himself, whose 14 page collaboration with Morgan Ritchie-Baum, "Creation Story", a tale of SF-tinged occult mysticism executed in detailed pen & ink with pantone colors, is the collection's longest. The work in Memory really runs the gamut in style and story, ranging from oblique and abstract to straightforward and traditional. Visit the Kickstarter page for more info, and be sure to check out the 9 updates, which provide additional information as well as tons of artwork by the contributors. In addition, the contributor listing at the back of the book includes URLs for each, so readers can easily further engage in the work of any and all involved in this project.

Saturday, May 4 is Free Comic Book Day
Copacetic will join in the 2013 FCBD celebration, but we do things a little bit differently around here. First off, we focus on a select grouping of the FCBD offerings that reflect our customers' interests. In addition to those pictured here, there will be some small press offerings from Tugboat Press and Sparkplug Books. We will also have selections from past years' FCBD offerings on hand for giveaway as well. And, we will have a crazy half-price back issue comics sale featuring plenty of high-grade books that are already priced at half off guide, including the over 1000 comics in our $1 sale boxes (that will then be only 50¢ during the sale) and including our mega-discounted sets. Not only that, but we will extend the giveaways and the sale through Sunday as well, so no one needs to be left out due to scheduling difficulties.
