Counterspring of the Comic Shop

From Studio Ghibli, creators to such anime gold as SPIRITED AWAY and HOWL's MOVING CASTLE comes TALES FROM EARTHSEA. Be sure to catch the glory on the big screen during its limited season run at Dendy Newtown from May 17 to 27.


TALES FROM EARTHSEA
Crops are failing and livestock is dying. Two dragons appear from the storm clouds and devour each other - an omen of impending disaster. The balance of the world is in peril of tearing apart.

In his search for the cause of this encroaching catastrophe, the Archmage Ged, the greatest of wizards, meets Arren, exiled Prince of Enlad, in flight from a nameless Shadow. They journey through ruined landscapes to Hort Town - a city where blank citizens deal only in fake goods, slaves are traded and addicts wander the dangerous streets - and cross paths with Therru, an orphan girl with a fire-scarred face. Ged learns that the wizard Cob, in his search for eternal life, is preparing to open the door between the realms of the living and the dead. An old and defeated adversary, Cob has sworn to take terrible revenge on Ged.

Directed by Goro Miyazaki, and based on Ursula K. Le Guin's popular EARTHSEA series, and inspired by SHUNA'S JOURNEY by Hayao Miyazaki, TALES FROM EARTHSEA is an adventure story for all ages.

And stay tuned to our blog for a review on this film and other anime at Counterside Noise. Where were flavour things with tags, so a topic is only a word away.

Standing order customers listen up!

Whilst the Australian dollar is kicking the hide of the US, that 5% discount you're getting right now is going to jump to 10%.

That means you're going to get more back on all your comics, statues, busts, action figures, comic supplies and other merchandise from the Comic Shop.

So what's the quick breakdown?

Normally a comic that comes in at $6.25 Australian ($2.99 US) will be $5.60.

Similarly, a normal off the shelf price of $6.95 ($3.50 US) is $6.25 and $7.45 ($3.99 US) drops down to $6.70.


Not a standing order customer? Interested in being one? Then drop in store today to start up a standing order. It's as easy as eating cheese from a can.

But don't drop in on Mondays. We're closed on Mondays.

Clearly as of this second it is the best headline seen on this particular LJ since inception from a cracked gamma irradiated moist egg.

I was wondering if you had any back issues of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel or
Fire Fly magazines. If you do, could you let me know how much it would cost and if
it would be possible to send anything I buy through the mail.

Yes to both BUFFY and ANGEL comics. Not so much with the FIREFLY. They released ones for SERENITY however.

Cost of postage is all that is required on top of the prices of the comics themselves. There is no handling fee, no packaging fee. Consider then, the mail order service.
