How to remove price stickers on a comic books or magazines without damaging it
If you’re a thrift shopper or just enjoy going through clearance bins, you’ll often buy things that have non-removable price sticker on it. Usually I’ll just peel it off, but sometimes the stickers are impossible to remove without damaging the item.
Hefty Hi-Rise 32-qt bins are perfect for Graded Comics
These Hefty Hi-Rise 32-qt bins are perfect for Graded Comics. I’m somewhat starting a Slab collection, so I’m interested in a storage solution. I bought two of these Hefty bins from Walmart today ($9 each).
Remarkable Paper Move
The Remarkable company came out with the Remarkable Paper Move (RPM), which is a mini-RPP. The new device is 7.3 inches and can fit in your pocket. It has everything the RPP offers (including the Gallery 3 Color e-ink screen), but only smaller and portable. This very expensive pocket notepad is $500, comes bundled with a pen.
George Perez Gallery
Hello, this is a call to other George Perez fans, who might be able to help me out. As you know, my old webhost, TypePad is closing its door on September 30, 2025, and I’m temporarily moving George Perez-related material to wheartm.com (WordPress). If you can point me in a hosting solution (preferably free or very low cost), or you can donate storage - please email me.
We♥Comics!- Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) at Convention Center, CA (2025-07-24 to 27)
Comic-Con International: San Diego (aka SDCC) is the marquee US comic book convention and multi-genre entertainment event held annually at the San Diego Convention Center that focuses not only on comic books and science fiction/fantasy but encompassed a broad spectrum of pop culture and entertainment, including films, television shows, video games, interactive multimedia, and more.
Book Report: DC Finest
Here is a rare book report for you. Amazon has reduced many of the physical-only DC Finest books, as part of their Father’s Day sale. In addition, if you buy two books, you save an additional 50% off the second book, resulting in about less than $20 per book. Retail price is $40, so this is a very good savings, considering that these titles were launched fairly recently.
Misfit Corner Comics at Beach Boulevard Flea Market
By now you all know my sad tale of losing about half my comic book collection when I moved to Jacksonville. I have sworn to never buy anything again… but you all knew that wasn’t going to last. I just have to be smart about what goes into my collection and what I can live without. One thing that I know I can’t get back into is collecting toys. Toys takes up so much space, valuable space that I don’t have.
Spectra 6
The next generation of e-ink is here, and it is called Spectra 6.
The original Spectra had only three pigments (red, black, white), but over the years, they evolved to Spectra 6, featuring six colors: red, yellow, blue, white, black, and green… and through those combinations can produce about 60,000 colors.
BCW Short Comic Book Bin
Vu asked me to do a write up on the new BCW short comic box I just bought. When we met up last week, we saw them for sale in a local comic shop and interested both of us. The price was a little hefty at $40 in the shop. On Amazon it was $30.
