THE GREAT EXPERIMENT
June 23, 2009 12:03 AM
Are you aware of this summer's Great Experiment?
DC's great experiment is "Wednesday Comics", a new anthological format for presenting its heroes' adventures. Aping the old 'funny pages" style from newspapers, Wednesday Comics will present in sprawling tabloid style the weekly serialized adventures of Deadman, Batman, Adam Strange, Superman, Metamorpho, Wonder Woman, The Demon, Flash, Catwoman, Green Lantern, Kamandi, Supergirl, Sgt. Rock, Hawkman, the Metal Men, and the Teen Titans.
This is sure to be a runaway hit, not just with current comics' fans, but with the general public as well, because Wednesday Comics will make these heroes' adventures accessible, timely, and gorgeous. We hope to have enough in stock for the demand, but the sooner you can let us know that you want to subscribe, the better! Don't delay!

BM BENEFIT RAISES $1400!
May 04, 2009 09:33 AM
Even though it was the day before Free Comic Book Day, we managed to drop off
$700 worth of comics each to Children's Hospital and the local USO.
Most of the comics aren't pictured; they aren't that expensive yet!
This
donation was made possible by the kind folks who participated in the
Big Monkey Benefit Party, either by buying things at the party or
making a contribution from afar.
At both facilities our
contacts were delighted by the contribution, assuring us that such
donations are of great value to the kids and soldiers. In fact, at the
Children's Hospital we were shown that some of the waiting rooms are
decorated with large images of comic book heroes, and that they are
used to inspired the children to be brave while visiting.
Both
CH and the USO are happy to serve as hubs for distributing our
contributions to the various hospitals and clinics they operate in the
metro-area. They are eager for as much as we can give them, so Big
Monkey is hoping to have another benefit party soon, which we hope you
can attend.
