Hey, Folks!
Well, only 2 more days until Christmas and at this point just keeping my head down in order to power through it. Business has been great this year and it has been a real pleasure seeing everyone coming through the store before the holiday comes and goes. I figure I had better once again make a note of our holiday hours here just to make sure that everyone sees it!
MONARCH COMICS HOLIDAY HOURS
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24TH, CHRISTMAS EVE: 11AM-5PM
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25TH, CHRISTMAS DAY: CLOSED
SUNDAY, DECEMEBR 26TH: 12PM-5:30PM
FRIDAY, DECEMEBER 31ST, NEW YEAR’S EVE: 11PM-5PM
SATURDAY, JANUARY 1ST, NEW YEAR’S DAY: CLOSED

I also want to mention that I have decided to start Monarch Comics’ Annual Post-Holiday Sale on December 26th rather than wait for January 2nd. So starting December 26th and running until February 28th the following items will be on sale:
MONARCH COMICS ANNUAL POST-HOLIDAY SALE
25% OFF ALL TRADE PAPERBACKS/HARD COVERS (This includes already marked down items as well as any special orders placed and received before the end of the sale!)
25% OFF SHOWCASE COMICS (This pertains to the back issues displayed in the showcases at the front counter.)
50% OFF BACK ISSUE BOXES (This includes the titles on display in the back issue boxes at the back of the store.)
$2 OFF ALL FUNKO POP VINYL FIGURES!
I have already posted about it elsewhere, but just to reiterate, I have had to start raising the prices on comic book supply items because of increases in costs for the items themselves as well as increased shipping charges. There may be other increases coming in the coming month as I am expecting a huge shipment of supplies from one of my distributors. The following comic supplies are now marked up in cost:
MODERN/CURRENT BOARDS: $13.00/100
SILVER AGE BOARDS: $13.00/100
SMALL COMIC BOXES: $7.99 EACH
LONG COMIC BOXES: $8.99 EACH
And finally, for those of you who haven’t gotten the message yet, you simply MUST go see the new Spider-Man movie at the theaters! It is one of the best comic book movies I have ever seen and it is certainly the best one that has come out since Avengers Endgame. Seriously, this movie made me feel like a kid again watching my first comic book movie. It is truly terrific and, if you haven’t hear yet, make sure you stay seated ALL the way to the end of the credits for the post-credit scenes!
Brian and I would like to take a moment to wish each and every one of you a happy and safe holiday this year as well as thank you for making this one of the most successful years in Monarch Comics history! We are both looking forward to making next year even better for everyone!
