A Grand Day Out: Bully goes to IKEA

"Hej" is how you say "hello" in Sweden. Hej, IKEA!

Stuff Bully Got: Mystery Science Theater 3000 #3 plus other goodies from Sterling Silver Comics!

I couldn't find the Mystery Science Theater 3000 #3 comic in any store in NYC, so I ordered it from the always-excellent Sterling Silver Comics! Both covers!


Pal Mike Sterling threw in freebies, too! Invites to Thing and Conan's wedding...


...and a cool Marvel 2019 calendar that is going to hang in the Comics Cave at Housing Works!


Except why didn't this list my birthday on 7/1???


Thanks, Mike!

Comics at Housing Works: Meanwhile, at the Comics Cart of the Justice League... (in my Ted Knight voice)

New on the Comics Cart at Housing Works Bookstore and Café: a special Justice League section with 5-packs of assorted JLA comics for just $1.50, plus selected singles and packs of story arcs! At prices that won't bankrupt you even if you're not Bruce Wayne!


Plus, lots more single backissue comics in the Comics Rack, including early Spawn, lots of Batman & Robin and Batman Inc., and a brand-new Valentine's section of mushy comics about superheroes and heroines huggin' an' kissin'! Check it all out at Housing Works Bookstore and Café, at 126 Crosby St. in NYC!
