Great visit from Tate and Amanda this afternoon! I haven’t seen them in YEARS! They own the 10,000 ft store Tate’s Comics in Ft. Lauderdale (established in 1993!), but have lived in upstate New York for years! Thanks for the ego strokes about my store, it was fantastic catching up with you both!

New this week, Bill Griffith’s fantastic graphic novel biography of his great grandfather, William Henry Jackson, who was one of the early and most prominent photographers of the Old West and was very instrumental in getting Yellowstone established as the first National Park. A+++!!!

Remember, Remember , the 10th Anniversary of Millennium Fandom Bar! Celebrating tonight until 3am! To know Alex, the owner of Millennium, is to love him and his passions for the different fandoms Las Vegas has - we are nerd strong! Super fun time tonight! New FAB Millennium anniversary shirt too!

Just SOME of the really good comics coming out this Wednesday!

Two new graphic novels out next week, both really good and couldn’t be more different from each other, isn’t it great that such diversity of subject matter exists in this medium!?

Teddy’s new edition of Captain Paiute, really good, now available at Alternate Reality Comics!

Out this week, it’s really good!

Bugonia - BRILLIANT! COMPLETELY weird & gonzo, or should I say gonzo & weird!? I was totally there for the entirety of this new Yorgos Lanthimos movie starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, and Aidan Delbis. This is one of those movies you should know NOTHING about before watching!

Happy New Comics Wednesday! Lots of great reads!

30 glorious years of Alternate Reality Comics! Thanks to everyone who currently shops at Alternate & to everyone who has ever visited / shopped here! Here’s what we have going on in celebration, Saturday, November 22nd! And we’re not going anywhere so stay tuned for the fun in year 31 and beyond!

AMAZING!

We still have copies of the Absolute Batman #1 one shot (which can be read onto itself even if you havent started the Absolute Batman ongoing yet) in stock, but we sold out of the comic from 1989 (seen here on the right)!

Happy Godzilla Day!

A+++!!! Political cartoonist, Edel Rodriguez’ 2023 graphic novel memoir of his family’s boatlift to America in 1980 when he was nine and his journey to be an artist.

The evening portion of the Nevada Day celebrations have commenced at Casa Kate & Ralph (kitty and wine will not be shared with the little ones)!

Tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 1st from 9:30-4:30pm, at the Clark County Library (on Flamingo, just a short drive east from the Maryland & Flamingo intersection)!!! This is the 17th annual Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival, with one of the most packed local & visiting creators on tap (see photo 2)!

Happy Nevada Day! Alternate Reality Comics is open today until 4pm so that Pierce can get his house ready for the Halloweeners (I need to do this too)! Anyone coming in today gets two FREE comics from this display!

Even Wednesday was helping service / make the wake up juice! They were so busy that I couldn’t get a photo of them out of their station and damn Wednesday for blocking most of Mak (grin)! Isn’t it great how many people get dressed up in fun costumes for Nevada Day!?

Daisy is only three months old, but likes coming to the store and barking at me.

If you’re looking for a good odd graphic novel, here it is!

Happy New Comics Wednesday! AND this Saturday, the 17th Annual Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival at the Clark County Library! Jill Avilez is debuting her new Vato Bunny comic at my booth & there’s like three years of guests at this year’s festival!

An excellent new 300 page graphic novel by Arnaud De La Croix and Vicente Cifuentes on the enormity and horrors that was World War II. Highly recommended even if you think you know everything about this horrific period in this world’s history.

Today is Day of the Dead (for pets that are no longer with us). Here are five cats we were fortunate to have in our lives ( from top to bottom): Pixie, Moto, Alucard, Sky, and Malificent.

Trunk or Treat yesterday with House of Cars, Stomping Grounds, and Rogue Toys was a LOT of fun! Thanks to everyone who came out, especially Frank in his killer chicken costume with his family, and to Mark for helping out!

Today from 4-8pm!!! Our Trunk or Treat organized by #houseofcarsinlasvegas, with our other fun business neighbors, #stompinggrounds, and #roguetoys! And House of Cars is having a costume contest with prizes (Alternate Reality Comics is donating prizes too)!

You are going to want to get and READ this, Wednesday, October 29th (limit one per person)!

Just finished! Totally excellent 250 hardcover graphic novel by Rintaro, which chronicles his rise in animation, working with Tezuka to bring Astro Boy & Kimba the White Lion to the small screen and up to his beautiful 2001 anime movie, Metropolis! A+++!!!

Happy New Comics Wednesday! We also have some more Deadpool / Batman #1 first prints A cover & Monsters Halloween blind bags in! And this Saturday at 5pm, House of Cars, Rogue Roys, Stomping Grounds, and Alternate Reality Comics is having our Trunk or Treat!

A good new LGTBQ crime fiction graphic novel.

Doing some errands around town this morning I was behind this cool OG Scion XB (I had this same model for 17 years, but it didn’t have this cool paint job). The front half of this car had a cool Wonder Woman paint job.

New stock of Tessa Hull’s Feeding Ghosts, which won a Pulitzer Prize and Eisner Award this year!! This is the softcover version, only $27.00 for this almost 400 page graphic novel memoir that has the scope and depth of Maus!

A nice reorder I got in today of some graphic novels I’ve been out of - not a dud in the bunch!

A remarkable 360 page graphic novel by sisters, Scarlet & Sophie Rickard, adapting Ethel Carne Holdsworth’s 1925 novel, This Slavery, about what two sisters will do to survive.

I’ve never read this rare 1947 comic (only one issue ever was published), but now there’s a great new 88 page edition reprinting All-Negro Comics #1, with new stories and essays.

This was fun with great art!
