ITEM! Looks like Amazon restored the old-school Gold Box this morning. And there’s even Tezuka’s Phoenix: Dawn in there for me. I just purchased the amazing Buddha books from Vertical, and this might be another series I break down and get.
ITEM! But then again, it looks like Buy.com has brought back the Google Checkout deal one more time! For those not familiar with this program, you can get $10 off every $30 order (not including pre-orders). Since Buy’s prices tend to be lower than Amazon’s on books, this is a great way to get some graphic novels.
ITEM! For those who want to buy some of the exclusive Marvel books at Barnes & Noble, PayPal will be running a rebate promotion starting on Thanksgiving. You have to sign up here. Not sure of exactly how much you can get back, but every item purchased gets free shipping (in the US and Canada).
ITEM! Mile High Comics is running a progressive discount program on a significant portion of their collection here. Starting today, the books are 60% off; on Friday, the discount increases to 65% off; and on Monday, the discount reaches 70% off. The catch is that if you wait for the higher discount, the book might sell out. I believe any order over $40 in the US gets free shipping.
ITEM! Tales of Wonder is still running their obscenely cheap Black Friday sale. I bought a copy of Jamie Delano’s 2020 Visions for $3.09, which is insane for a book with Frank Quitely work (even if it is black and white). There’s some great bargains in there, including the Sandman 10th Anniversary statue for under $50.
ITEM! Mailordercomics.com just unveiled their specials for the November catalog cycle. Best deals include Civil War: The Return and Silent War #1 at 75% off, and over 900 comics and graphic novels at 40% off. I’ve used Mailordercomics as my primary comics supplier for years, and I highly recommend them. They back up their prices with great customer service and perfect packing. You can’t go wrong.
