Go, Buy: Top Shelf Has Its Massive Yearly Stock Reduction Sale

image

Top Shelf Comics is having its massive yearly sale designed to reduce stock and to provide the longtime art-comics publisher with a cash infusion. As they are an advertiser here, you're welcome to consider this post compromised, biased nonsense and keep scrolling downward or leave the site for a few days altogether. This is such an ingrained part of their business plan that I'm sort of fascinated by it and consider it straight-up publishing news at this point. It's also a way to score some excellent books at ridiculous prices: such as Lucille, which was beautifully drawn and is make-you-weep-from-carrying-it humongous, for $3. I might buy a book of blank pages that big at that price. There's also Renee French, Eddie Campbell, Josh Simmons -- three cartoonists whose work I buy sight unseen -- all greatly reduced, in addition to a lot of the other Top Shelf regulars. There's even a lot of recent stuff; that Ed Piskor book is there for a great price, for example.

I'm on the road, or I'd do a full $50 recommendation, but for now I'd just suggest checking that one out. This is what Top Shelf does every now and then to stay in business, and there are significant benefits to be had in helping them do so.
