We've got a HUGE shipment coming in on Wednesday. Graphic novels, trade paperbacks, manga, new comics, figurines, cards...we're nearly doubling our inventory in one day. As if that's not enough, we've got another big shipment coming in on Thursday of harder to find products...can you say "Tintin"?
So come in Wednesday and Thursday to take advantage of all this fresh inventory...before someone else beats you to it.
Gift Packs and "make your own grab bags" (great stocking stuffers) are 50% off!!
Fantom Comics is prepared to meet your holiday shopping needs with gift certificates and a knowledgeable staff ready to advise you on the perfect gift.
There's a comic out there for everyone, and we want to help you find your loved ones a unique gift instead of more of the same.

Friday 8-9
Saturday 8-9
Sunday 8-9
Maybe your Mom was right and you'll never develop super powers, but that doesn't mean you can't style your hair like you do.

P.S. Be sure to read the captions next to the images...they're almost funnier than the pictures.
I'd like to draw your attention to the star of the week, Volume 6 of Y: The Last Man trade paperback. I've only ordered 2, and one has already been reserved.

Fantom Comics is within days of opening its doors for business after a three-month delay. This postponement resulted in three months worth of comic books piling up in our store. Our stupidity is your gain! In order to rid ourselves of these comics, weââ¬â¢re having a huge 50% OFF SALE!! Buy the current issue of any ongoing comic book title and get any or all of the previous issues since July for only 50% of their cover price!
Keep your eye on this site. We'll have the announcement up within minutes of our opening.
Famously referred to as one of the 'Axis-of-Evil' countries, North Korea remains one of the most secretive and mysterious nations in the world today. In 2001 cartoonist Guy Delisle became one of the few Westerners to be allowed access to the fortress-like country. While living in the nationââ¬â¢s capital for two months on a work visa for a French film animation company Delisle observed what he was allowed to see of the culture and lives of the few North Koreans he encountered; his findings form the basis of this remarkable graphic novel.
Pyongyang is an informative, personal, and accessible look at a dangerous and enigmatic country.
How do I get Fantom Dollars?
For every $10 you spend (excluding sales tax), you earn one Fantom Dollar.
Where can I spend my Fantom Dollars
Fantom Dollars can be used toward any comic book in the back issue bins, or in our Fantom Specials section.
How do Fantom Dollars work?
Fantom Dollars are good for up to 50% off your back issue bin/Fantom Specials purchase. For instance, if you buy $18 worth of books from the back issue bins, you can use up to 9 Fantom Dollars. You only pay us $9 for that $18 purchase!

The Deal: Matt attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, graduating in 1999. He worked in Orange County, CA at a private equity firm before joining a leading DC think tank in 2002. In 2005 Matt realized that he loved his job and got along great with his bosses, yet he still wanted to be his own boss. He figured it was now or never, so he decided to realize a long held dream of his and opened Fantom Comics in November of 2005.
Now Matt enjoys spreading the gospel of quality comics to those never exposed to the medium. Of course, he also loves debating the minutia of fandom with fellow nerds, and quoting esoteric lines from geeky movies and TV with like-minded individuals.
Matt can be reached at: fantomcomics@gmail.com
Position: Employee
Favorite Comics: Buffy (Season 8), Runaways, Fables, League of Extraordinary Gentleman, Jack of Fables, The Freshmen
The Deal: Abby is a graduate of Walt Whitman High School (06') in Bethesda, MD. She is currently studying acting in Stratford-upon-avon, England, and in August is going on to do the same at Beloit College in Wisconsin. She wandered into Fantom sometime last June (2006) and basically never left. She is a secret geek, so shhh, don't tell anyone!
She loves - among other things - Buffy, Harry Potter, The Office, Scrubs, Doctor Who and musical theatre.
Abby can be reached at luvrsofsunydale@gmail.com
Position: Web Commentator
Favorite Comics: 52, Brave and the Bold, Justice League of America, Justice Society of America, Marvel Zombies, Secret Wars, Sin City, Titans, Uncanny X-Men, What If…
The Deal: Ari attends the Edmund Burke School right here in DC. He has always had a love for comics, ever since he was six years old and his uncle gave him his collection of virtually every comic from 1968 – 1973. He has been a regular Fantom Comics customer for about a year now.
He resides in DC, loves movies, and even gets in to the occasional early screening.
Ari can be reached at Aman4232@yahoo.com
Position: Employee
Favorite Comics: Amphigory, Fun Home, Fables, Gemma Bovery, Watchmen, It's A Bird..., anything by Jhonen Vasquez, Superman (in any and all cases), Percy Gloom, Left Bank Gang, Three Paradoxes, The Escapist, Anything by Darwyn Cooke, and Umbrella Academy.
The Deal: Cee-Cee is a Junior studying Literature and Theatre at American University. She doesn't know what she is going to do with her majors, so please stop asking. During her time at AU she has fallen back in love with comics and has used her connections to land the sweetest job. When she is not in rehearsals, studying, working on costumes, babysitting, or at work she can be found...sleeping, because there is no such thing as free time for college students. During her commute she likes to sing Barenaked Ladies songs and in class she can be seen doodling instead of taking notes. If she had free time she would probably spend it drawing, doing collages, or reading Christopher Moore or Jasper Forde novels.
Cee-Cee is originally from Alaska (but is NOT an Eskimo, does NOT live in an igloo, and does NOT have a pet polar bear named 'Binky'). She currently resides in a very nice house in NW DC.
When she is on a studying break you can reach her at: luvly.in.ak@gmail.com
Position: Web Commentator
Favorite Comics: Fables, Ultimates, Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, DMZ, New X-Men (Morrison's Run), Powers
The Deal: Brandon attended American University in Washington DC, earning his graduate degree in 2006. He currently works for an international organization in downtown, DC. Brandon has been a regular customer of Fantom Comics since it opened and a comic reader long before that.
He enjoys movies, books, video games, sci-fi shows, and of course, comics.
Brandon can be reached at: doubleb@gmail.com
