    Default Buying Back Issues Just Got Easier...

    Canberra has long had a dearth of back issue stores. Oh, we have three comic shops; but one of them (Dee's) hasn't stocked back issues for years. Impact got sold a couple of years ago, then re-opened with no old stock; all its back issues are from after that time. (It was also a CD shop, and that's the part that got sold.) House of Heroes is only a couple of years old, and is in a similar sitch.

    ... Dee's is going to be opening up a new back issue shop soon. They'll have a lot of old stuff, some obscure. There's stuff in there I've been looking for.
    It's not open to the public yet. It's not nearly ready; right now, they've hired some guy to sort out their Marvel back issues, and then they'll do DC.
    Did I say 'some guy'? I meant 'me'.

    It's gonna be soooo cool!

    Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
    Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
    Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
    Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
    Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!

    Grats bro! Thats a nice hook up. I used to volunteer at my LCS on Wednesdays and help them with the new books. They gave me a discount nothing more. But it was a blast and I looked foward to it every week. So now that your working in the industry Le Messor. Got any inside info? Like maybe if that fantastic book Omega Flight is gonna be an ongoing? nudge nudge.
    You may say I'm a dreamer...but I'm not the only one.

    Yeah, can you talk to one of your Skrull brothers at Marvel and get the inside scoop for us?

    They don't tell us who the other agents are, in case one of us gets captured. Why else do you think I don't know Tony Stark is a skrull?

    Thanks for the 'grats, guys. Del, I've paid my dues by now. So don't be too bitter.

    One of the advantages is I can do things like put a couple of copies of 'Sabretooth: Open Season' in the Alpha Flight section.
