At Comic Con in San Diego DC Senior Vice President and Vertigo Editor-in-Chief, Karen Berger, announced a new publishing line: Vertigo Crime, a series of graphic novels for readers who enjoy crime, thriller, detective, and mystery fiction.
Set to launch in June of 2009, Vertigo Crime will be published as single, one-off hardcover graphic novels. These crime novels will be in black-and-white and have a very modern look.
In an interview for icv2.com, Berger characterized the Vertigo Crime line as: “fast-paced, smart, sexy, edgy tough books that are very readable. They feel like Vertigo books, but they will read like fast-paced crime novels.
A few new items for sale:
Just picked up two collections of over 200 Golden Age/early Silver Age comics. In the collection was a Showcase #4 - yep, the first S.A. Flash that is considered the beginning of the Silver Age. Sorry, it’s gone already!! But, there’s lots more to pick from. Check out the Showcase #5, single digit Brave & Bolds, early Superman, Batman, Actions, Adventures, World’s Finest, as well as some Disneys and other funny animal comics.
Conan fans - we picked up a nice collection of Conan related comics and magazines recently. We sold the almost complete set of Conans already, plus a few other sets, but, we still have a real nice run of Savage Swords. Most look like they were plucked off the stands and then just stored away. A nice opportunity to upgrade your collection.
By the way, these green-tagged items are eligible for the member discount!!

Paul’s band, CUBANE is scheduled to go on around 5:30
