The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[thefourthman]

The LCS second closest to me--the one my friend Sergeant Bill used to run--they have a huge display of those Female Force and other Bluewater bio-books up front and claim they sell a lot of them. Of course, they never seem to run out..

When we opened the new store, we finally sold out of the damn ones we had. They sell for shit. Actually, the bio books are the most frustrating things in the world, just like the Who Wants to be a Super Hero? Comics were. After you have ordered them and before they come out, people ask about (some of) them relentlessly. Then when they come out they collect dust. Then three months later, (some of) them have people asking about them relentlessly. Some make sense like the Michael Jackson, Rowling, etc. But some not so much and it is a crap shoot which ones sell and which ones don't.

Which reminds me. Bluestreak, there were only two copies of Garrison at LO and when I left there was only one. If you want, I can leave my copy at the shop in a couple days and you can pick it up anytime.

When I head over there in a couple of hours, I'll let you know. Thanks!

Well, I daresay Margezilla will be a top-seller.

Yeah, who knows, that one copy may still be there. Kind of a crap week for me, not much I'm interested in.

eh...
it's one of those things that is obviously successful for the company and some shops. Sometimes you just have to let things go.

I always thought Eric worked in a comic shop, or at least lived in an alley behind one.

His real life inspired comic strip adventures always had him outside of a shop. I assumed the same thing.

so alley thing it is. he's not getting the books, so obviously he don't work for them.

It just makes his growing roster of comic book professional e-buddies that much more impressive.

While that would be great, I work in the "glorious" world of food service.

They probably swap pro tips like which dumpsters are the best to look in for a freegan meal.
