Shipping calculator problem FIXED!



 Deadpool kicked our server and everything is up and working again!

Thank you for those who contacted us about the shipping calculator not working on the site.  A programmer is working to fix the problem and it should be corrected soon.

In the meantime, if you would like order something you can submit an order request through the contact page and you will receive a prompt reply with instructions on completing your order.  Our apology for any inconvenience.

On a side note, please don't forget that the Rose City Comic Con is less than thirty days away and Comic Safari will be there with comics, pint glasses, shot glasses, pins, supplies, and more.  We did last year's show and were only expecting maybe a thousand attendees - turned out to be a few thousand and was a crazy time!  Looking forward to seeing all of our friends and customers in Portland next month.

Pandora's Box: Major Golden Age Collection Discovered!

Comic Safari has discovered a small collection of very significant Golden Age comic books from the 1930s and 1940s that include some of the scarcest books.  This find came about after inspecting a few books and later viewing a safety deposit box, the contents of which nobody was entirely sure of.

What was initially described as a safety deposit box containing maybe two comics quickly turned into Pandora's Box, producing multiple Golden Age books from an original owner collection.  The original owner of the books and his brother both bought the books right off the newsstand as children from a long since gone store in a small town.  Sadly, both of the brothers are deceased but were said to have enjoyed comic books long into adulthood.

The books include Superman 1, Batman 1, pre-Robin Detective Comics, Nickel Comics, Police Comics, Zip Comics, and more!  This is an incredible find that does not come along often by any means.

Here is a small montage of just a few of the amazing books that were discovered:

Comic Safari will announce when these amazing Golden Age treasures will become available for sale.  These books have already generated a great deal of interest from collectors.  While the enthusiasm for these books is understandable, please do not contact us with questions about the books at this time.  Again, an announcement will be made when the books become available.
