I keep gloves and masks in my bag and in my car at all times. Lots of times I will see signs for a garage sale stop and the place has been packed full for 20 years.

Had one few months ago snakes were coming in and out the holes in the back walls.

I would love to goto that Warehouse. Heard about it many times.

Closest we had to that was one down in NOLA back in the mid 90s. But either Katrina or another Hurricane took it out after I moved to Texas.

Rumor is it won't be around a whole lot longer (though this is just a rumor at this point as far as I'm concerned). It's definitely an experience. If you do make it out there, mask up and wear gloves and watch out for cats and spiders, haha.

Went to the (infamous, at least locally) Joseph Koch Warehouse on Saturday with a group of friends and grabbed a few issues of Death Rattle, Aliens Worlds #4, Deadworld #10 and a few other books for $3 each, so I was pretty happy about that.

[Ian Jane]

Was at a show yesterday and grabbed The Many Ghosts Of Dr. Graves #22 and 23 for $1 a piece, and then some friends hooked me up with Showcase #61, 61 and 64 (Spectre issues) and Star Fighters #2 and 3 (rad Ken Landgraf sci-fi craziness starring a guy named Axe McCord who has the universe's only laser powered guitar).

[Ian Jane]

Picked up a few $1 bin books last weekend.

I went to the Joseph Koch warehouse yesterday, figured I'd hang around for an hour or so before going to visit a friend but that plan fell through so I wound up dollar bin digging for three hours. If you've ever been there, you know it's insane. Racks and racks, ceiling to floor, of comics, some organized, plenty not. Piles of old records, posters, books, men's magazines and toys. It is a literal warehouse in an industrial part of Brooklyn and the whole place stinks like a litter box because there are cats everywhere, presumably to deal with mice. I didn't take any pictures, but here's a video to give you an idea of how insane this place is.

So yeah, it's crazy in there but if you want to dig, it's a good place to do that. They have hundreds of $1 bin boxes and then plenty of higher end books as well. The higher end stuff gets priced at the counter and is usually more or less eBay prices, but sometimes they do bigger sales that are worth hitting.

Anyway, I only hit the $1 bins yesterday and here's what I grabbed:

Violent Tales #1
Essential Spread Love Comix #1, 2

Snarf #14, 16

The Nam #11-Great Golden cover and was a buck.

[Newt Cox]

Hell $4 iss what cover price... I can wait.

[Ian Jane]

It's still around cheap if you're patient, I think I paid $4 for my copy a few months ago.

[Newt Cox]

Yea figure I might get lucky find a beat but complete copy for not too bad.

Worst case I bite the bullet and sell something from the collection and use that profit to buy a high grade copy of the OGN.

[Ian Jane]

The GN spiked in value a while back as it was covered on a YouTube channel and got some attention. Too bad it was never finished.
