MEET THE OWNER….JIM JONES!

Meet the Owner…Jim Jones. Part I
I was struck today by a customer asking me if I worked at Comic Quest. I told him “Yes, I am the owner”. “Really he says” I didn’t know that”. This is not an unusual exchange with customers. I thought it time to re-introduce myself to those of you who get the newsletter. I am originally from Shelbyville, Kentucky where I was introduced to comics at the local drug st   ore where I remember buy my first comic book(Tales To Astonish 96). I became a huge Sub-Mariner fan due to his brooding, outsider nature. I soon began tracing, and later drawing comics. I received an excellent education at Shelby County High school where I played football, loved art class and drew a lot of comic images...

NEW COMICS THIS WEEK!

RORSCHACH #1 (OF 12) CVR A 4.99

Writer: Tom King, Artist: Jorge Fornes, Cover Artist: Jorge FornesIt’s been 35 years since Ozymandias dropped a giant interdimensional squid on New York City, killing thousands and destroying the public’s trust in heroes once and for all. And since that time, one figure in a fedora, mask, and trenchcoat has become a divisive culture icon.

So what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as an assassin trying to kill a candidate running against President Robert Redford? Who is the man behind the mask, and why is he acting this way? It’s up to one detective to uncover the true identity of this would-be killer—and it will take him into a web of conspiracies involving alien invasions, disgraced do-gooders, mystic visions,...

UPDATE ON ROOF REPAIRS!

We had some major roof repair Saturday and we hope this paves the way for us to stay dry and organize our vintage comic book area. We have had to operate with a good deal of disorganization as we have had to duck and dodge the rain drops almost weekly. We hope we can now get back to normal and spruce up our sales areas for your shopping pleasure. On the horizon is an anniversary sale and Halloween….both challenges in the covid-19 environment we are living in.
