Current eBay Listings:

Our used Role Playing and Graphic Novel sections are groaning with new books.  We have added literally hundreds of great titles, including out of print hard covers, complete runs of series, and even some omnibus editions, such as our two new offerings in our eBay store this week: a PunisherMarvel Knights Omnibus HC and a Rising Stars Omnibus HC.

As always, our regular selection of used graphic novels, used RPGs, sets of comics and manga, and action figures are available for purchase, and we urge you to support our official store charity, Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, as it continues to fight for everyone's right to free expression.

Hello everyone!  Here's our update for Thursday, August 6, 2009. 

Last weekend at Connecticon was a lot of work, but we did very well.  Despite the current recession, sales were only slightly below last year.  In general, Modern Myths continues to thrive.

The Summer Bargain Back Issue Sale continues, and today we will be swapping out the two dozen odd comics boxes on top of the table for a whole new batch, including some boxes of Kids comics.  Even if you have already come by and thoroughly browsed our selection, there’s a whole new crop ripe for the harvest.

This week we have our usual sections on NEW COMICS and Graphic Novels, recent GAMING arrivals, EVENTSboth in the store and around the Pioneer Valley, new postings to our eBAY store, and an in-depth REVIEW of a favorite comic or game.
