Come on in and grab your gear kids, because at our prices you know these rack-burning releases won’t last long! Thinking is for the gloopy ones! #ncbd #mtg #clockworkorange #igcomicscommunity

I’m always a little confused by how much my kids hate me, I mean it’s not like I had any contact with them when they were growing up...Happy Father’s Day everyone! give the old man a lollipop or something...detail from the cover of Young Love #73, April 1969, pencils and inks by the great Dick Giordano... #fathersday #dickgiordano #notevenanamazongiftcard? #dccomics

Make me laugh. Make me cry. Tell me my place in the world. Lift me out of my skin and place me in another. Show me places I have never visited and carry me to the ends of time and space. Give my demons names and help me to confront them. Demonstrate for me possibilities I've never thought of and present me with heroes who will give me courage and hope. Ease my sorrows and increase my joy. Teach me compassion. Entertain and enchant and enlighten me. Tell me a story. RIP Denny O’Neil #dennyoneil #dccomics #greenlantern

Part 1?! No, that’s not me coming out of the tanning salon last week to find that looters had made off with the priceless collection of snacks at the store boys and girls, it’s a subtle visual metaphor for the news that we will be re-opening the riot-torn Melrose location this Monday! If only to try and figure out the @dccomics fiasco! So come on down, it’s a better batch of new books this week, and Secret Lair, Core Set ‘21, Jumpstart and Double Masters are all in the pipeline for you Magicistas!

Who said the Hulk obviously wasn’t around the store Friday night because he coulda upgraded his flava?! Now you take that back, the last thing we need to see is the green-skinned Goliath in a @supremenewyork sweatshirt! Anyway, we survived the Battle of Melrose - even the looters love us too much to mess with @megacityincorporated - and let’s hope we can survive Covid too! It’s June everyone, let’s stay safe and behave ourselves! Open today, tomorrow and Wednesday in LA, curfew permitting...thx! #hulk #lariots #igcomicbookfamily

UPDATE! Well this Bakersfield heatwave is playing havoc with my shag do but I’m checking my iPad for any messages/emails from the @megacityincorporated army kids! Both stores are open, get yourself some peerless pop culture today! #barbarella #janefonda #losangeles #bakersfield #igcomicscommunity

Calm down lads, no need to get a run in your tights just because we’re back open! Both stores are up and running boys and girls, curbside service IS still available, please wear a mask and practice social distancing if you come in! Stay safe everyone! #batman #robin #reopening

Happy Memorial Day everyone! We’re open today 12-5 at both locations, and 11-7 in LA Tuesday and Wednesday. Bakersfield will be back up and running Wednesday when I return with this week’s new books.

Christmas is coming, And Santa is a grem, Buy your gifts from Mega City, Because you won’t get these from them! Hey kids, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, peace and goodwill to all etc...the LA store is open tomorrow 12-5 for all you late shoppers, the Bakersfield store opens back up on Thursday! Pencils and inks by the late, great Nick Cardy, 1972...... #christmashours #witchinghour #dccomics #santa #megacityone #megacitytwo See more

Yes children it’s true, I overdid it on the Christmas candy yet again this year, hope Santa brings me that gym membership! #maltesers #bakersfieldcomics #bakersfield #megacitytwo

Black Friday sales going on all weekend!

The ’rapt One, of the godlike forehead, The heaven-eyed creature sleeps in earth: And Lamb, the frolic and the gentle, Has vanished from his lonely hearth. ... Like clouds that rake the mountain-summits, Or waves that own no curbing hand, How fast has brother followed brother, From sunshine to the sunless land! RIP @hollywoodsuperman, Christopher Dennis, one of a rare breed indeed - a thoroughly nice guy trying to make his way in Hollywood.
