Support Small Business Success, keep your Reserve Bag in good standing!
From Shelton Drum:
“I have offered a pull and hold service for almost 50 years. I started holding subscriptions 5 years before I opened Heroes as a brick-and-mortar! Most comics back then were 40 cents. Today, $2.99 is the lowest price for a new comic (there are only a few), most are $4-$8 with special issues costing as much as $10-$12. The math is vastly different than when I started.
I really can’t afford to “hold” inventory past the promised time frame.
I’ve been lenient with the rules for a long time, but I cannot continue with the new realities of net cost on comic books. The rules on the Reserve Customer Agreement will be strictly enforced beginning in January 2025. I will be sending you an invoice this month in hopes you will bring your account up to date, and we can start fresh in January. Ideally, we would love to see you every week!
Going forward, you will receive an invoice if you have anything that has been on hold for 30 days. As per the agreement you signed when starting your account, you will have 48 hours to pick up all of your comics, or pay the invoice online. We will hold “paid comics” for you until you come to pick up or ask us to ship them to you.
Thank you for shopping with Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find! Some you have been for over 40 years and I’m very proud of that and forever grateful! Let’s go for at least another 40!”

CHANGES GOING FORWARD:
PLEASE PROVIDE A DETAILED LIST OF TITLES YOU WOULD LIKE TO RESERVE. If you have a preference on open order covers please notate that as well. Ratio variants are first come, first served and sold at a net price. *Nothing is guaranteed to be held for you if it is not specifically on your list.
IF YOU HAVE NOT COLLECTED YOUR RESERVE FOR 30 DAYS, A TOTAL INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO THE PROVIDED E-MAIL ADDRESS. *If arrangements to satisfy the invoice are not made within 48 hours, items from your Reserve Bag will go back on the rack for sale and your Reserve Bag will be discontinued.
CONTINUED FAILURE TO CLEAR RESERVE WILL RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF RESERVE BAG.
Not only that, but Cheap Joe’s serves as the Art Supply Sponsor for our Live Art Stage, Friday Evening Drink and Draw for Team Cul de Sac, AND for our Quick Draw events…as well as being THE PLACE for artists to re-stock their art supplies during our show each year!
Both Cheap Joe’s AND Team Cul de Sac are based out of Asheville, NC, which, as most of you will know, was hit INCREDIBLY HARD by Hurricane Helene.
Team Cul de Sac would like to gather as many art supplies for the Asheville and Swannanoa Elementary and Middle School kids as possible to help kids create as their community rebuilds.
The best of the best, Miss Aly Perez from Cheap Joes is willing to assist this cause by creating $15 individual art packets to donate to these area schools. ($15 = One Packet per student)
Cheap Joes is still operating without internet services, so Team Cul de Sac has offered to handle donations. This effort will not only help the community, but will also help out the art community AND a local small business!
If you are able, and would like to send a monetary donation through Team Cul de Sac, you may do so through Venmo.
Created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, Batman was introduced in 1939’s comic book Detective Comics #27 and since then the Dark Knight has stood as a symbol of determination, courage, and justice to generations of fans for over 85 years and as a film and television icon for almost as long.
Celebrate Batman Day this year with our friends at the Independent Picture House, and make it a fun-filled weekend with the whole family!!
