Limited number of advance copies available for sale

Thanks to all those that came out to the "Secret History Of Marvel Comics" event last night in NYC. Our guests Al Jaffee and Stan Goldberg were most appreciative of the reception they received. (We'll have a lot more on the event in the coming days.)

We have some advanced copies of the book left over from the event (still weeks before it hits stores) and are making them available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We'll sign them for you, and include one of the signed, tipped-in plates (featuring Stan Lee's visage from 1947) from last night's event too. (Only 100 made.)

Two ways you can get them: if you're coming to the NYC Con today, we'll have some on us, (will be there around 1pm; email ditko37@rogers.com to confirm your copy). Otherwise, we'll mail them out to you this week. Cost is $40 per book. If we ship them, please add another $5.

Same goes for the not-released-until-November "Impossible Tales: The Steve Ditko Archives vol. 4". And the special offer from last night's event is also available: 50% off (the $40 cover price - i.e., $20) of Blake's earlier books:

• Steve Ditko Archives vol. 2
• Steve Ditko Archives vol. 3
• Strange & Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko
• Fire & Water: Bill Everett
• Amazing Mysteries: The Bill Everett Archives vol. 1

There's also ONE copy of the out-of-print "Strange Suspense: The Steve Ditko Archives vol. 1" available and it is $50. (Also, if you purchase the Ditko Archives, you'll get a signed, tipped-in plate.)
