The dust settles on the special ONE DOLLAR EACH back issue bins! It looked like a tornado hit them, so I guess a lot of you filled some of your want lists!

What are these folks waiting in line for?

To sample some of Mike Hawthorne's GREEK-STYLE PORK KABOBS and insanely delicious hamburgers, that what! Note the poor abandoned hot dog.

Horror novelist and comic book author Brian Keene takes a break from signing his books to grab some of Mike's delicious grub and chat with some fans.

Halloween Sale Recap Comix Connection - York!

Huck Finn/Tom Sawyer and Spider-boy came by to claim some free bees, and to scare off any riff raff. Huck/Tom was happy because it didn't involve any whitewashing.



Everything was good and we had our usual morning sales rush. So one of the cops from Chips, Rorschach, a Skrull invader and an average man decided to do a celebratory dance!



















Ned embraced change after seeing how much he and the Skrull both loved the Village People dance.



But oh no...a fight broke out!



With election day so close tensions were high.



And then out of nowhere a Mexican wrestler!



Then Spider-Baby showed up and reminded us that we are the adults and we need to be good examples for the impressionable youngsters out there...because with great comic sales comes great retail responsibility!



And to show you that Comix Connections sales bring people happiness and bring people together Wolverine and Rorschach took a photo together.



Thanks again to everyone who came out!
