The Hunt

This is a short film I made a couple of years ago. It's pretty low quality and the music sounds a little bit like a seventies porno, but it's lots of fun!

The Collector's Society

I received my welcome packet from the collector's society today. Ironically, it is on the same day as the Aurora Colorado Massacre. Batman is one of the characters that solidified my interest in comic books. My first subscriptions were to Batman and Detective Comics in 1989, right before the first Batman movie came out in theaters.

So now, I can prepare my first two shipments. I'll be posting info about them as they go out and come back from the grading process. Check back with us!

July Auctions

http://www.ebay.com/sch/slabcomics/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3692

We currently have 100 Auctions listed on eBay. These are a lot of random items, but all of the money is going towards our start-up. That means that everything made on this sale will be used to grade comics already on hand. We have signed comics with COA's, TPB's Marx Toys, Trading Card games, an Apple PowerBook, and more. If everything goes we will be able to grade 80+ comics. Thanks again for your support!

Certificate of Authenticity

Someone recently asked me if I would provide a certificate of authenticity. It wasn't a horrible idea, so I decided to look up more information about them. Most certificates are only as good as the person who is issuing the certificates reputation is.

So to let people know, here are some of the things that make my certificate trustworthy. I learned to read using comic books. My first comic books were printed when I was only three or four years old. That gives me over thirty years involved with my hobby.

I began going to conventions in the DFW area starting in 2006. I went to work in 2007 for Lone Star Comics, and managed one of their eight stores in 2008. Lone Star Comics has eight stores across Dallas and Fort Worth, and their website, mycomicshop.com has the largest online inventory of comic books around.

Donate $50 and include your address; and I will send you a comic book signed by the artist or writer of that issue. I will include with it a certificate of authenticity that lists the date and location in which the comic book was signed. We are not currently a nonprofit organization so please be aware of that when making donations, although we do appreciate all of your help and support.

Thank you for visiting us at Slab Comics. Our goal is to preserve modern comic books, which are key issues, or variant covers of key issues, by having them graded and added to the National Registry.

For every eighteen dollar donation that we receive, we will be able to add one comic book to the national registry. Please help us preserve our history so that future generations can enjoy this uniquely American Art Form (as described in this Congressional Resolution).
