Amazon/Comixology has a huge lot of the Marvel Masterworks series on sale for $1.99 (a lot of volume 1s are $.99). This is a great chance to collect a ton of classic marvel stuff.

There are too many to list here, but this link is the search in comics, sorted by price. The sale ends 1/3/22.

If you're Canadian, I'd go with Comixology for the sale. Things get weird when you have a Canadian account and you try to buy US Kindle stuff.

Thanks! I had seen the Spider-Man titles on sale (around the movie) but the others look to be just added.

This sale is also duplicated on Google Play and possibly other retailers.

I think I'm going to pick up the old Atlas Era Masterworks when Marvel was aping EC's horror comics.

Menace
Journey Into Mystery
Tales to Astonish
Tales of Suspense
Strange Tales
Battlefield

I wish the Larry Leiber Rawhide Kid issues were available. I don't think those have even been digitized yet though.

I adore the Asterix comics, from back in my middle-school days, when my French teacher assigned some of them to us, to learn vocabulary. He also encouraged us to try to figure out the puns and jokes, some of which are very French, and were hard to suss out, but hilarious once (if) we figured them out. The English translations are really fun too, and the translators (mostly Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge) did an amazing job IMO of translating what they could and maintaining the spirit when they couldn't. Now two omnibuses of Asterix comics in English are on sale at Kindle US, one for $0.99 and one for $1.99.

Asterix Omnibus #1: Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and the Golden Sickle, and Asterix and the Goths, $0.99
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BK4M21B
Kindle US/Smile: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08BK4M21B

Asterix Omnibus #4: Asterix the Legionary, Asterix and the Chieftain’s Shield, and Asterix and the Olympic Games, $1.99

Thank you! Haven’t read Asterix in like 50 years, so this is a perfect opportunity to re-connect.

sufue · 01-09-2022, 10:22 AM

YW! Me too, I've just started rereading them after several decades myself. Although I did drag my husband and son to Parc Asterix, just north of Paris, several times over various European vacations. Wonderfully done theme park, IMO, much better than Disney if you like the Asterix series...

The omnibuses seem fairly new, so I have hopes more will go on sale in the future!

TrevorViking · 01-09-2022, 10:54 AM

Oddly, they haven’t migrated to my Comixology account even though I bought them about 24 hours ago. Usually they show up in both places within an hour.

Unfortunately, it appears to be a new translation.

It may be fine, but could affect the nostalgia score for returning readers.

Dark One (volume 1) by Brandon Sanderson, Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Nathan C. Gooden,
and Kurt Michael Russell is $3.99 on Amazon.com

Quote:

Paul Tanasin is a young man haunted by visions of a dark and fantastic world—visions he initially believes are hallucinations. But when he discovers they are prophecies from Mirandus, a world in which he's destined to become a fearsome destroyer, he'll have to embrace the fear, rise up as the Dark One, and shatter everything. DARK ONE examines the dual roles we often take on in life-the ability to be a savior as well as a destroyer.

Hey, very nice find! Thank you!

I already have the Charley's War volumes and don't care much about Dredd and the spin-offs. But there's still a lot of groovy stuff in there. I've been looking at those Hugo Pratt books for a long time.

By the way, the 2000 AD/Rebellion store is very nice. They sell DRM-free CBZs and ePubs. Nice place to shop.

This bundle is mostly games, but a fair amount of comics and other stuff too.
And all the proceeds go to relief in Ukraine.
