The Copacetic Blog

First the bad news:   This only affects our international customers -  On Monday 29 January 2013, the US postal system drastically increased the cost of international shipping,  by 30% - 50%, across the board!  As a result we have correspondingly raised our shipping charges - on international shipments only - which are now much higher.  International customers may contact us ahead of placing an order to request a custom invoice.  In some cases this will result in lower shipping costs.  It's the best we can offer at this time.

Now, for the good news!  We recently made a special purchase of some (really) great collections of comics classics from Fantagraphics that we are now offering at such substantial savings that even our international customers will save a bundle, depsite the hefty shipping increases.  And, of course, our customers here in the States will really be getting over!  We are pleased to be able to offer these fine collections of work by Roy Crane, Alex Toth,  Basil Wolverton and Gahan Wilson, all of whom are among our favorites.  You can view a photo of some of the items along with a few direct links, over at our Facebook™ page, or just click on the "SALE!" link at the top of this page, and then head to page 2 to see more titles.  

This Saturday, January 26, from 11am to 8pm, Mind Cure Records and The Copacetic Comics Company are teaming up in the back room of our downstairs neighbor, the Lili Cafe, to bring you untold boxs of LPs, 45s, magazines... and, of course, comic books - thousands of 'em  - ALL priced at $1!!!  For more details, visit the Facebook Event Page, here:  http://www.facebook.com/events/461227367269662/  Hope you can make it!

The Copacetic Comics Company welcomes you to 2013.  We look forward to bringing you the best in portable cultural objects, æsthetic achievements, interactive opportunities and more!
