Description

'Gentleman Gene' is showcased in our Gene Colan: Without A Net headlining feature in CBC #45, featuring the participation of Tom Field as we include a wonderful 75th birthday celebration of the artist at San Diego Comic-Con back in 2001, featuring some special guests. So you think you know the craziest lunatic in comics history? Think again, as we, with the help of onetime employee Mark Wheatley, spotlight gunslinging Myron Fass and his nutty Heavy Metal rip-off, Gasm! There’s also an account of editor Jon B. Cooke's visit to the ambitious (albeit shortlived) Florida-based comics publisher, all-in-one Crossgen, then at the crossroads and facing collapse. The first portion of the Good Girls cartoonist Carol Lay's interview is included, where we discuss her jumping between underground, alternative, and mainstream comics. Plus there’s part two of our Jack Katz interview, Joe Hill part deux, as well as Shaun Clancy’s brief though absolutely fascinating look at Hillman Periodicals, publisher of Crime Does Not Pay and Airboy. (And, as always, Hembeck is in the house!)

Frequently asked questions

What are the policies on pre-orders?

Superhero Empire product screening strives for products to be roughly 9.2 NM- or better based on our assessment unless otherwise stated (item grades are subjective). Minor manufacturing defects may be present. Our goal is to get everyone the best quality book possible but limited supply from distributors may prevent us from our dream of getting everyone 9.8 candidates every time.

Preview artwork may differ from actual comic cover when produced by the publisher. Products ordered prior to release are allocated and may have limited availability. If damages or allocation result in a shortage of inventory, customers will be notified and refunded.

Purchasing of retailer incentive or exclusive covers without meeting the incentive requirement will result in product cancellation and a refund will be issued.

Shipping & Holdbox

Choose to ship as soon as your completed order arrives, or add it to your Holdbox and ship later with your existing orders. Pick-up is available for holdbox or upon release.

Returns and Refunds

Returns are not accepted due to the nature of the products being sold. Every item sold is inspected, screened and packaged with collector standards in mind. If for some reason there is an issue with your order, contact our team and we will find a solution.

When will I get my order?

We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location. Orders with pre-sale items will ship when all items are released and processed. Hold box orders are shipped upon customer request and delivery times will vary based on selected carrier.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. Hold box or combined shipping can be arranged. The final shipping cost for hold boxes are determined when the shipment is requested at the customer. Cost for combined shipping is at the customer's expense.
