We’re buying back issues in a big way, and we’re especially looking for Silver and Golden Age comics, along with key issues of ANY age. We also need LOTS of vintage toys and collectibles, so don’t be shy, bring everything, and be prepared to meet Midtown’s back issue man Alex Rae. Who knows? You may walk away with an Uncle Scrooge-size haul of money!! Our first ever open buying day takes place at Midtown Comics Downtown, at 64 Fulton Street (corner of Ryder Alley, just a few blocks east of Broadway), from 1:00 to 4:00PM, Saturday, February 18th.

We’re also looking for one particular book, HOT STUFF THE LITTLE DEVIL #1 (1957). WE WILL PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR THIS BOOK!

Special note: a camera crew will be taping this event for a major cable TV network, and your presence will indicate your acceptance to be videotaped.
