I said, “If We Can Use Them!” So, please, don’t cuss me!

| September 12, 2010

We probably receive a dozen or more calls per week from people asking if we buy comics. Our typical response is “Yes, if we can use them” and then proceed to explain that we are looking for older comics, especially super-hero titles with a price tag of 25 cents or less, with 10 and 12 [...]

Catching up with CUBANE and Pink Floyd
