Welcome
to the temporary website of
Site's first day of business: 1/21/03 /
Site updated: 1/23/03
Here, is where you'll get
the information about the most innovative new comic book store in
the world. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back with us
often so that you can see our time tables for new and/or
collectible items, toys and, of course...comics.
When we're ready to open the official website, it'll be announced
here first.
This site is meant not only to keep you informed, but to start
giving you the opportunity to start ordering merchandise now.
This Spring,
we will be opening our first store in Las Vegas, Nevada, which
will establish our reputation as the newest concept for a comic
book store because of certain things we're adding to the store
which will make it unique amongst all other comic book stores
We're not at liberty to say what those things are just yet
because we are some paranoid geeks who think some espionage
mission might commense to steal our idea. Our shrink tells us
that we're too suspicious.
Already,
for the Grand Opening of this store, we've acquired the
time and presence of Lightning Bolt Comics President/lead
artist, J-Bolt to sign autgraphs and sell his line of
products which includes posters, t-shirts and much more.
We plan on making First Edition Comics & Collectibles
into the official Lightning Bolt Comics outlet for comics
and merchandise.
|
Also
coming soon, we've gladly invited (and been accepted by) Jackson Bostwick, the 1970's Captain Marvel, from TV's
"SHAZAM!" to bring his own merchandise for all
you fans to purchase and he can sign.

Items
we're selling NOW:
FREE
SHIPPING ON ANY ORDER OVER $150.00. See how nice we are?
OUR first FEATURED ITEM is this literally
one-of-a-kind original artwork of Lightning Bolt Comics'
When Lightning Strikes cover, as drawn by J-Bolt, in
1987, and was never used for the comic itself. J-Bolt was
so excited about seeing the cover finished, that he
mistakenly colored this original before getting black and
white copies. On top of that, there was also a spelling
error in the word "lightning", leaving out the
"H" in the word.
The picture below shows it framed and never having been
touched, itself, since the framing, in 1987. The label,
and J-Bolt's signature, on back authenticate this as
being the original art and identifying all the other
facts we've stated about the piece. The front glass is
also signed by him. Another great feature of this item is
that J-Bolt signed his real name to it, since he had not
established the J-Bolt name until 1989. That name will
only be visible to the buyer of this artwork, but is
blanked out here.
Obviously, this piece will cost a pretty penny so, first
come first serve. You may purchase this item using
PayPal, the most trusted e-commerce source in the World.

A NEW VARIETY SKATEBOARD: aIR-craft (NOT
RELEASED IN STORES YET):
This ITEM was just
picked up from a new products toy convention, in Las
Vegas, on 1/22/03. It *HAS NOT* yet been released to toy
stores yet, so we were told by the marketer. That's why
it was at this new products convention.
The picture below shows it in all its glory, out of the
box. You can also see the box behind it marked
"PATENT" and with all the certifications
necessary for a new toy.
This new variety skateboard was made by Achieva and this
is your first opportunity to get ahold of it before
anyone else does. If it does not sell here first, we will
be offering it on eBay within a week or so and we're
*QUITE* sure that it will sell for a heckuva lot more
than we're asking for it here.
Quick note: We only have this *ONE* in stock, currently
and don't know if we'll get any more of them in.

VINTAGE G.I. JOE MORSE CODE LIGHT:
Here's a perfect item for
G.I. Joe collectors. It has been tested and works fine,

is still well attached to this great toy..

1990's Spider-man ACTION FIGURE:
This Spidey is in a bit of
worn down shape, but that's mostly because it was used as
reference by reknowned comic book artist, Steve Carr. We
know Steve's work from all the major comic book
publishers, basically, besides the fact that he is one of
the creators partly responsible for the creation of the
Kyle Rayner Green Lantern costume. This figure has some
paint wear, is missing one finger, and is missing the
suction cups from his hands (which we all know is easy to
replace).

for $4.95 (with $2
packaging, shipping and handling) using PayPal.
