Mother of a Blowout

Someone at Amazon has apparently decided they're overstocked with graphic novels and reprint collections of old comic books, mainly from Marvel and Dark Horse. Sales on selected titles have just been slashed…for how long, I do not know. But here are some examples…

  • The Fantastic Four Omnibus — The first 848 pages of that classic comic by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby…in hardcover for $8.24. This thing used to be $64 and it was worth it then.
  • The Incredible Hulk Omnibus — 752 pages of early Hulk adventures by Lee, Kirby, Steve Ditko and others…in hardcover for $8.24.
  • The X-Men Omnibus — 768 pages of…well, you get the idea. Also $8.24.
  • Iron Man Omnibus — A measly 720 pages for $8.24.
  • Amazing Fantasy Omnibus — This one costs a bit more and you get a bit less but it's still a bargain. This is a hardcover collection of those weird monster and mystery stories that Stan Lee did with Kirby and Ditko (and a few other artists) before the Marvel super-hero era. 416 pages for $14.99.

There's also a lot of Dark Horse material with low prices. This is a fine time to pick up the Herbie Archives, for instance. Or to get into their Tarzan reprints or Turok, Son of Stone. There are also a ton of books with recent material that have been drastically discounted…way too many for me to research and set up links.

I'm going to suggest then that if you're interested in this kind of material you go over to the Amazon website and look around. You might try clicking on one of the above links and then browsing through the links they have there which say, "People who bought this book also bought these…" Or if you just go over to Amazon without that, please go via this link which will enable this site to claim its commission on your purchases.

Happy shopping. Some of you are gonna spend, spend, spend.
