horror stories.

Pike.

Anyone who showed up in costume Saturday evening got a $10
gift certificate for Collector’s World. All comics are the shop were 50 percent

That's not Boba Fett. Me and my nerd friends just tuned out this blog forever.
ReplyDeleteHey man speak for yourself. I really like Star Trek but I can forgive her getting this one wrong.
DeleteGood. You and your bad grammar can hit the pavement.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Mr. Langley's Cthulhu! I must say, I do love a good eldritch horror
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI bought a great autographed photo of a favorite NFL player (in his college years, no less) from Collector's World as a Christmas present for my husband a couple of years ago. We both love it.
Even if you're not into comics, you may well find a treat there; please support our local small businesses--especially unique ones like this!
