HALLOWEEN ON THE HILL -- 2010
Collector's Edition once again participated in Halloween on the Hill by giving away comics and candy. Alysha O'Cain dressed as a Sailor, and I was obviously a Time Traveler, because no one has worn a Kansas City Royals jersey this late in October in nearly Thirty Years!Every year the crowds just keep getting bigger and bigger!
This year's parade of humanity was more than anyone could count, numbering in the Thousands!
We gave away Several-Thousand specially made Halloween Ashcan comics and Fifty pounds of candy.
As it is every year, the comics were a HUGE HIT!
The WILD STARS go digital!
Beginning with Force Majeure: Prairie Bay #1, I've started the process of making all of the Wild Stars available in Digital Format. They will be available to read online, or for downloading, at:
I've started a new section on the History of Comics. For the initial overview of how comics are made, start here.
Tarzan of the Apes is the first subject. Tarzan is a character who has been an integral part of the comics industry since the very beginning of the artform.
Click here for the full history of Tarzan of the Comics!
Walt Disney and The Good Duck Artist
The next Comics History page is devoted to the legendary Carl Barks.
Carl Barks was always one of my favorite storytellers, being both an exceptional artist and extraordinary storyteller. It was a rare combination.
If you'd like a quick tour of the career of the man who, because he worked in an age before printed credits, was known as The Good Duck Artist, all you have to do is click this link: Disney Ducks!

Walt Disney Comics & Stories and Uncle Scrooge and the images on both sides are TM and (C) by Walt Disney Co.
Both Collector's Edition and The Comic Book Store were a Destination Comics! feature location in issue #1664 (April 2010) of the Comics Buyer's Guide magazine.
I've added a new section to try and dispell a common misconception about the comic book industry.
Comic Book Store owners always get a bad rap, as the public perception is that we're all like the rude, Simpson's Comic Book Store Guy, laziing around, and surrounded by nothing but food and big stacks of Super-Hero comics.
Like a Super-Hero, my other hobbies involve a mask and breathing apparatus, specialized training that includes rescue, dangerous activities and encounters with deadly animals, plus travel around the world to exotic locations, including a trip down the road to a lost civilization.
These are the incredible, but true adventures of a masked Comic Book Store Guy:
Check out the new Dive Log.
New page in the Bonus section.
We've all heard of Good Luck Charms.Here are my experiences in surviving an extremely potent Bad Luck Charm.
Decades ago I read a comment by award-winnning science-fiction and fantasy writer Michael Moorcock, who refered to writing as an act of exorcism.
This is my exorcism:
What's new with the Wild Stars?
Now available for order is the 25th Anniversary Edition of Wild Stars: The Book of Circles -- Recalibrated! See the New Millennium section for more details.
Or... check out the free preview of Volume 3 issue #4 presented in it's entirety!
Ask your favorite book or comics dealer to order it:
