Comicbook Of The Month

So yes, the creator may be as established as Alan Moore, or they may be someone up and coming. It may also be a comic rather than a graphic novel, but it won't be something in the middle of a run in either instance. To be perfectly frank the chances of it being a superhero comic aren't that good, as it's a rare superhero book that matches the quality and accessibility of the finest material outside that genre, and they get enough exposure anyway. And no, just in case you're wondering, we don't choose the book based on how much the creator has paid us!!

If you already have a regular standing order it'll go in your file for your next visit or parcel. If you don't, we'll create a new file for you to save them in while we wait for you to visit or contact us to say they're okay to send. As with regular standing orders, we'll need to hear from you at least once every three months, and we don't charge you before you give us the nod. Our selection will be announced via email and on the homepage at the end of each month.

So here's the Terms and Conditions for the CBOTM club.

You can sign up whenever you want and receive the current selection at the full 20% discount. You can also ask for as many previous selections as you like as well as an introductory offer. We'll sell you those previous selections, at a one-off 15% discount. Although please bear in mind some months items where we've picked comics are now out almost certainly out of print, so we probably won't even display those.

You can cancel any time you like. There's no specific duration you have to sign up for. And if you sign up, get the jitters but want to sign up again later in the future, we'll welcome you back on board. However, anyone monkeying around by signing up, cancelling, signing back up then cancelling again just to get a couple of books at a discount, well, that's simply not in the spirit of what we're trying to achieve here, so we'll have to respectfully decline.

Don't worry #1: if you've already bought the constituent issues of a graphic novel that's nominated as Comicbook Of The Month, you don't have to buy the graphic novel as well. You can just skip that month, although if you want to buy the book for a friend, you can take advantage of that discount. It's all about spreading the word, right?

Don't worry #2: if you've already brought the graphic novel elsewhere, you can also feel free to skip that month. Just stop buying stuff elsewhere!

Don't worry #3: if you've already bought that graphic novel from the shelves or through mail order here (here, mind!), we'll give you the discount in retrospect as a credit. We'll know who you are, and we recognise that our decision comes at the end of each month when a book could have been out for between one to five weeks. We don't want to restrain your purchasing power!

So if you're interested, drop us a line or give us a call...
