THIS WEEKS HIGHLIGHTS

Thank You for 20 great years....

COMICBOOKMAN SEZ: August 20, 1994 that's the day it all began for Alternate Reality. This was the tail end of the "Speculator Boom" of the late 80s/Early 90's and there were easily twice as many comic book stores on south side then than there are today. Hodge Podge, Moondog's, Zoomies, Friendly Franks, High Five, D & B Comics, Heroland, Tenth Planet and still others were all in the phone book and all were within a five mile radius when we opened our original 800 square foot location at 10637 South Pulaski. To separate ourselves from the pack, when we opened we established our cornerstone "15% OFF All New Comics Everyday for Everyone" discount policy. The reason was simple: it was the one thing that would set us apart from the glut of other stores at that time. Where some were overcharging for "instant collectibles" we would be discounting all our comics across the board for all our customers no matter the books price point. While the market has changed considerably since 1994, that discount has and will remain rock solid. Anyone who has ever purchased a new comic at Alternate Reality has saved a minimum of 15% Off of that purchase. There have been many other changes however. A few years after opening we had literally outgrown the Pulaski storefront and so we up and moved to our present 3149 West 111th Street location in December of 1998. With this move we doubled in size to 1600 square feet and the move was so positive that three years later in August 2001 we doubled yet again to our present 3200 square feet with the addition of the 3147 storefront. To be sure there have been setbacks, the Taylor Street store never quite worked out as I had hoped, the 2008 Recession hit us just as hard as everyone else in the country and real e-commerce remains as elusive today as it was twenty years ago. Still and all it has been a great twenty years and we've never regretted the decision to be Chicago's Best Comic Book Store.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU...No man is an island and an endeavor like Alternate Reality may begin with a singular idea but can't grow without help. So on this, our 20th Anniversary I'd like to thank a few folks who have helped along the way to make it all possible. Thank you Jay T and the Support Staff Union for "motivating" me to walkout of my previous job in June of 1994. Alternate Reality went from a dream to a reality in that single moment. Thanks to Don Troy for the remodeling work on 3149 before the move to 111th and to Peter Hibbs for helping with that move. Thanks to Art Balthazar for the "Comicbookman" caricature I have mined relentlessly for the last fifteen years. Thanks to Bill Wallace my computer guru and designer of the Alternate Reality logo. Thanks to Gabe & Lucy for their work on the Infoline in the early 2000's.Thanks to Jeff Battiato for his tireless work on the Video Outhouse. Thanks to Stixx for giving 110% of himself to the aforementioned Taylor Street store. Thank you Good Old JR for your reviews and Bocepheus for your news, both of whose contributions have been on the Video Outhouse, Infoline and still can be found on the stores website. Thank You Randy Treat for bringing down the walls between 49 and 47, for painting the exterior pinstripe Tardis Blue (that's right Whovians, it's been staring you in the face for years now) and for the dozens of other little jobs you did-may you rest in peace. Thanks to Sarah, Hailey and Heather for all being great "Girl Friday's" around the shop. A big Thank You to Bradford Barth for all the Magical things he does Gathering together gamers every Friday Night and Saturday Morning at the store. Thank you Wendy and Shannon for all your help and support on the home front. And finally a great big Thank You our customers for coming into the store once a week, once a month or once a year to make a purchase. For twenty years we have grown and thrived because you have made us a part of your life. For that I will always be grateful.

THANK YOU!

IT'S A SALE-A-BRATION....We offer many sales and discounts to our customers (Ladies Day Sale, Founder's Day Sale, Good Grades Club, 1st Day Sale, etc) but four times every year we clear the decks and have a week long "Sale-A-Bration" on just about everything in the store. In the Autumn it's the Gobbledy Gooker Sale (culminating with Black Friday), In the Winter it's the Winter Wonderland Sale, in the Spring it's the Free Comicbook Day Sale (culminating with FCBD itself) and each Summer it's our Anniversary Sale. Each Sale-A-Bration features 50% Off All boxed Back-Issues and 20% Off Everything else in the store. For this weeks sale we're adding Back Issue Bucks and the calendars adding Founders Day. If you have Back Issue Bucks then for this week you can use them in conjunction with the Half Off Boxed Back Issues (doubling their savings) and with our 20% Off of all Variant Sets. For New Comic Wednesday everything shipping will be part of the 20% Off component of the sale. What better way to celebrate a milestone than to pass the savings onto you!

THIS WEEK'S STANDINGS: Fewer new titles overall this week (144) compared to last week (165) and the top three slots make for a tight pack separated only by one book and their price points. Marvel and Image are neck and neck with 22 titles each with only their price points separating first from second place ($87.78 vs $67.90). DC slips to third this week but only by the skin of it's metaphorical teeth with 21 titles. IDW is once again in 4th place with 16 titles and Dark Horse re enters the TOP 5 with 10 titles. INDY COMICS slip a bit this week with 53 titles from last weeks 57. It should be noted that over a third of the 53 Indies this week are multiple common variants of new titles from the fine folks at Dynamite (3 titles with 9 covers), Valiant (ditto) and as always the cheesecake factory known as Zenescope (3 titles with 11 covers).

THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS: If you're looking for something new to read this may just be your week as most of the major publishers are launching something new for a variety of tastes. From the mind of Grant Morrison comes the long awaited MULTIVERSITY #1 from DC. There are 52 Earths in the DC multi-verse and Morrison (who has painstakingly mapped out the entirety of DCs reality) is taking us up close and personal to a handful of them. Also from DC is the copyright title saving SENSATION COMICS FEATURING WONDER WOMAN #1 a companion book for Princess Diana featuring on-line first stories never before seen in print. Meanwhile over at Image Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips team up on the much anticipated FADE OUT #1, set in 1948 Hollywood it centers on a writer plagued with nightmares from the war and a dangerous secret. Look for the standard edition and the special oversized magazine variant. At Marvel Wolverine ended last week with #11 but they still have this years Annual to get out the door this week. Yes, it's tied into the whole "Death of Wolverine" story line (one week to live?) which makes it a must have for Logan fans. DHP and the Strain return to Dark Horses publishing schedule this week with the more reasonably priced DARK HORSE PRESENTS 2014 #1 ($4.99) and STRAIN NIGHT ETERNAL #1. If you have any sense of comic history then the return of Windsor McKays classic 1910 strip in IDWs LITTLE NEMO RETURN TO SLUMBERLAND #1 is for you. It's an All Ages book by the superstar team of writer Eric Shanower and artist Gabriel Rodriguez. All this and more coming on Wednesday.

PEANUTS WAITING FOR GREAT PUMPKIN HC
FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS
(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz

Linus and his wait for the Great Pumpkin have been a pop culture touchstone for nearly 50 years thanks to the animated television special, and it all started in the classic Peanuts strips from 1959-1962 collected in this affordable, fun-sized gift book. Charles M. Schulz's homage to the power of idealism and belief makes these some of the most beloved comic strips of all time.
