Comic Book Sale of Awesomeness returns to the glee of collectors and fans alike
Penney’s House of Awesomeness is hosting a one-day super sale with vintage comic books and graphic novels up for grabs.
CANBERRA, 15 October 2018 – Canberra comic book and pop culture store, Penney’s House of Awesomeness at Gungahlin Village is throwing their second annual Comic Book Sale of Awesomeness this Saturday, 21st October.
With an impressive and eclectic range of comic books and graphic novels from the 1960’s to now, fans can get their hands on these unique pieces of history. There are around 30,000 comics for sale, with 30-50% off almost all of them.
Owner and collector, James Penney, says, “The highlight of last year was setting up for our first sale, and seeing buyers drive all the way from Sydney and Newcastle. We’ve got lots going on throughout the day, with displays of extremely rare first appearances and giveaways for the kids,”
Enthusiasts will be blown away by the opportunity to see (but not purchase) rare Mega Key comics including first editions of Avengers, Green Lantern, Justice League of America, Ironman, X-Men and Hero for Hire in the flesh. There’s also first editions of Incredible Hulk and Fantastic Four (the first appearance for these characters) and Incredible Hulk #181 – the first full appearance of Wolverine.
Mr Penney has been collecting for over 30 years before deciding to sell vintage comics 18 months ago. He said, “We have investment grade books with tonnes of first appearances so you can see where the real pop culture started.
You’ll be able to see some amazing books.”
Shoppers can also snap up bargains with 20% off board games, 20% off POP! Vinyls (with the exception of Gold dot POP!, which will be 10% off) and a massive 50% off Pokémon boxes and tins.
The nostalgia doesn’t end with the impressive array of vintage collectables, as an old-fashioned jellybean jar guessing competition will see one punter go home with a $100 store voucher (and, of course, an impressive amount of jellybeans).
Customers are invited to dress up for the event, with an exclusive POP! Vinyl from Toys R Us up for grabs for the shopper deemed best dressed.
