Important Memorial Day Sale Update

mike

YOU PEOPLE ARE AWESOME.

Our Memorial Day Mega-Blowout Sale is exceeding our wildest expectations! Unfortunately, what this means is that many sale items are already backordered — our current supply is depleted — and some are gone completely. We will be restocking and filling backorders just as soon as we figure out how many of each title we need, but please note that your order may be delayed in shipping up to 4 weeks. With that in mind, we advise you to NOT choose rush shipping when placing your order!

Meanwhile the sale marches on with our biggest discount ever — 75% OFF! — on a huge assortment of almost 250 items through the end of the day on Monday, May 27, 2013.

(Reminder: coupons and other discounts do not apply to these sale items. Due to the expected high volume of orders please allow 1-2 extra days for processing and shipping of in-stock items.)

FantaBucks 2-for-1 Coupon - last chance for this incredible deal!

mike

We don't typically alert you more than once to our special offers, but we'd hate for anybody to miss out on this one! Today is the last day to get our FantaBucks 2-for-1 Coupon! Here's the deal again:

Each FantaBucks 2-for-1 Coupon costs just $50 and gets you a unique coupon code worth $100 toward your next purchase of $100 or more (not including shipping) here on Fantagraphics.com! That's like getting half off $100 worth of merchandise! You can buy as many coupons as you like, but you can only use one coupon per order and you must redeem each coupon entirely in a single purchase. You can also buy coupons as gifts — just tell us the recipients' email addresses at checkout. Beginning on Tuesday, April 16, we will email you your personalized coupon code(s).

Important note for 20/20 Club members: with your standard discount, you pay only $40, and so you will receive a coupon in the amount of $80, which, with your discount, is still good for that $100 worth of merchandise.

This is a one-time offer. It may never be repeated. Get it now before time runs out!

The FantaBucks 2-for-1 Coupon - $50 for a coupon good for $100 toward your next order!

mike

You know those websites that offer "coupons" to "groups" or "groups" of "coupons"? We're trying our own special home-grown version of that for a very limited time (April 12-15, 2013)! Here's the deal:

This is a one-time offer. It may never be repeated.

Monday, April 15, 2013 is the last day to grab this amazing deal, so don't miss out!

(And here's just a tiny sampling of what you can get...)

Special The Complete Peanuts box set offer!

mike

The rules have changed! We can now offer upcoming volumes of The Complete Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz for presale, which means we can extend this special offer:

Pre-order The Complete Peanuts 1987-1990 Gift Box Set now and we will send you Volume 19 (1987-1988) right away, and Volume 20 (1989-1990) with the slipcase when they are available in Fall 2013! (Sorry, our contract with Peanuts prevents us from selling to customers outside the U.S. and Canada.)

Not only do you get to read each volume as they come out, you get them at the box set price (cheaper!) and the deal even saves you a few bucks on shipping. Yup, it's just like our special offer on the Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Color Sundays Gift Box Set!

Order now, and if you've already bought Volume 19 direct from us, contact us about upgrading your purchase to take advantage of this offer — we'll apply your purchase price to the box set price!

Special Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Color Sundays offer!

mike

(not final cover)

Customers in the U.S. and Canada can now pre-order Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Color Sundays Volume 1, coming this Summer, and Volume 2 and the Vols. 1-2 Gift Box Set, which will be out in the Fall. (Sorry, our contract with Disney prevents us from selling to customers outside the U.S. and Canada.) We have a special offer for fans who want the slipcased set but don't want to wait to start reading Volume 1!

Pre-order the Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Color Sundays Gift Box Set and we will send you Volume 1 as soon as it's released in Summer 2013, and Volume 2 with the slipcase when they are available in Fall 2013!

Wowee! Not only do you get each volume as it's released, you get them at the box set price (cheaper!) and the deal even saves you a few bucks on shipping. Pretty swell, huh?

We've gone April Foolish! 30% off all orders for 20/20 Club members & new signups!

mike

Spring is here and we must be crazy or downright stupid — some kind of fools, if you will — to bring you an amazing deal like this! If you've already joined our 20/20 Club for loyal customers, right now you get an extra 10% off your base discount of 20%, for a total of 30% off, through April 1, 2013! And if you're not a member yet, join now and you'll automatically get the 30% discount off everything else you add to your shopping cart! This is not a prank, hoax or imaginary story!

"What is the 20/20 Club?" you may be asking. It's our special program to reward our frequent customers — the cost is just $20 to join and membership gives you a 20% discount and free standard domestic shipping (or half off standard international shipping) across the board on all of your orders! We did the math and with the discount and shipping deal the Club pays for itself with a purchase regularly priced at just $60, and if you spend $100 or more in a year, you get a free automatic renewal. Basically, if you play it right, you can get membership, and all its benefits, for life at no extra cost! See all the club terms and details here.

And, for the next 4 days only, you get an extra bonus discount! Take advantage of our foolishness while you can!

mikecatron

Held over! We want to make sure no one who's eligible misses out on this special offer, so we are extending it through the end of February 2013. The original announcement (with updated dates) is copied below:

Like you, we recently learned that CBG is no more. We're sure that many of you are unhappy with the substitution of Antique Trader for the remaining balance of your CBG subscription, so we'd like to offer you a one-time-only money-saving alternative.

Exquisite collections featuring Walt Disney's Donald Duck by Carl Barks; classic EC Comics artists like Harvey Kurtzman, Wally Wood, Jack Davis, and Al Williamson; Prince Valiant by Hal Foster, Peanuts by Charles Schulz, and Pogo by Walt Kelly, plus classic work by Joe Kubert, Steve Ditko, Basil Wolverton, and Bill Everett -- to name only a few.

Of course, we also publish The Comics Journal, the world's longest running magazine of comic art and criticism.

If you would like to sample any of these fine publications preserving and celebrating the medium we all love, we will give you a special $10 credit on any purchase you make of $20 or more from fantagraphics.com between now and Feb. 28, 2013.

To qualify for this exclusive special offer -- for former CBG subscribers only -- just do one of these things: forward your email notification from CBG to our "fbicomix" email address or email us a legible photograph or scan of your copy of CBG #1699 with your subscription label on it (such as the example above). We'll respond with a personalized email coupon good for $10 off on any purchase you make for any of our books between now and Feb. 28, 2013.

Sincerely,

The Editors,

Signed Edition Sale!

mike

Hey, want to get some holiday gift shopping out of the way early and make a big impact without breaking the bank? How about limited, signed edition books (some with exclusive prints) by some of the greatest comics creators around? How about HALF PRICE? That's right, get the following books at 50% off now through next Thursday, Nov. 8!

Conceptual Realism by Robert Williams — A catalog of the Fall 2009 solo exhibition of paintings and sculptures by the groundbreaking master of "lowbrow" art, with essays on each piece by the artist, sketches and other supplemental material. Hardcover edition with signed bookplate!

Hysteria in Remission by Robert Williams — This gorgeous volume collects the comics and illustrations of the seminal underground artist, much of it out of print for 25 years! Includes work done for Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, student cartoons and more rarities! Signed & numbered hardcover edition!

Hanging Out with the Dream King — The most intimate look yet into the life and mind of the best-selling author and creator of The Sandman. Over two dozen creators share their thoughts on working with Gaiman. Illustrated with many unpublished photos and comic pages! Hardcover signed by Neil Gaiman!

Jimbo in Purgatory by Gary Panter — This giant hardcover re-imagines Panter's cult hero as the protagonist in Dante's most famous work, with text remixed to include Biblical quotes and pop-culture snippets. An exquisite art object, and a brilliant literary game. With signed & numbered print!

Young GODS and Friends by Barry Windsor-Smith — Superficially resembling the 1960s The Mighty Thor, Young Gods is sexy, ribald, politically incorrect and funny, as three errant gods with mismatched goals and personalities seek fun across the universe. Signed hardcover edition!

The deal with the Pogo slipcases

mike

Okay everybody, here's what we're going to do: since we went on record saying we weren't going to do slipcased Pogo sets when Volume 1 came out, and then we were convinced otherwise (with the first set out soon), we're gonna throw in the slipcase at no extra charge for everybody who orders Volume 2 from our mail-order outfit (unless you opt out). We'll even eat the extra packing and shipping costs! So no matter where you bought your Volume 1 from, you can get a slipcase for FREE, but only if you order Volume 2 from us — you won't be able to purchase the slipcase separately. Deal? Deal! But this is a limited-time offer so don't delay!

The 2nd Annual Can't-Make-It-to-Comic-Con Sale!

mike

Every year, on the last day of Comic-Con, as our thoughts turn to the arduous task of packing up all of our leftover books for shipping back to our warehouse, desperation creeps in and the discounts start flying left and right. Last year we decided to spread this fun to our mail-order customers and this year we're doing it again! We are not only offering 20% OFF EVERYTHING on our website — use coupon code FANTACON12 at checkout — but a whopping 50% OFF ALL our biggest and heaviest books (see them all here — note that items are discounted 40%, which works out to 50% when the coupon discount is applied) during the convention, from Thursday, July 12 (that's today!) through Sunday, July 15 — and you won't even have to lug them around the convention center or cram them into your suitcase and throw out your back hefting them into the overhead bin (or risk your airline losing them)!

PLEASE NOTE: Since we are shorthanded at our HQ (uh, due to staff being, like, at Comic-Con), and due to the high expected volume of orders, we won't be able to process and ship orders until next week. Please keep this in mind when choosing your shipping option!
