Spiral Comics March 2020 Newsletter

by Glenn Snow | March 16th, 2020

WELCOME

Hello, comic fans! May you live in interesting times, is how the apocryphal saying goes. If you’re like me, you’ve been hoarding comics your whole life, so you always have a pile of comics that need to be read if you get trapped in your home. In fact, I used to read comics during the down times when I was on nuclear alert in Montana and had a dozen or so on hand the morning of 9/11. I remember turbulent and uncertain times back then, but life eventually returned to normal. Here’s wishing for a speedy return to less interesting times. As always, let us know if we can search our stacks for something…we try to cater to regular, normal newbies…crazy, intense collectors…and everyone in between (except for Manitcores… because they eat their victims whole). –Glenn
