This auction is now closed.

The bookcase purge for charity continues! You can see a complete list of all auctions here, in chronological order starting with the latest, here. Full auction details are included at the end of the article, but to bring the new folks up to speed real quick:

Every weekday until Friday, June 5th, we publish a new Shelf Bound article announcing a bind or bound set up for auction.

Each bind auction’s bidding starts when its article is published and ends 72 hours later, so today’s auction will close at 4 PM EST on May 9, 2020.  

Bids must be posted in an item’s comment section to be considered for that item; highest bid posted before close of auction wins.

Bids from outside the U.S. are welcome, although shipping outside the U.S. may incur additional fee.

The winning bidder emails me (greg at multiversity comics dot com) to verify donation particulars, then makes the donation and send me verification.

I send out the bind.

Everyone wins.

30 weekdays. 34 binds. All proceeds going to charity. Sound good? Let’s get to it!

Some ideas just pop into your head fully formed; this book was one of those.

A series about the Golden Age of television and series about the Golden Age of Hollywood. Both told by strong creative teams. Both coming out almost simultaneously and ending within 6 months of each other.

Gotta do a double bill!

Why You Should Bid

These two works are very much in print separately at the moment, but aside from the double-bill aspect, there are two big selling points to this bind:

You get the Tijuana Bible minicomic. It’s not bound into the book itself, but it fits quite well inside as a bookmark, or one could easily glue a pocket on the inside front or back cover for it to fit in.

The Fade Out portion of this bind comes from the original issues and includes the backmatter: Ed Brubaker’s editorials AND the essays from writers like Jess Nevins and Megan Abbott. Every essay also comes with a new Sean Phillips illustration.

So…

You COULD take the time & effort to track down these issues and the minicomic, turn them into your own book via a binder using the techniques & approaches we cover every month in Shelf Bound . . .OR

you could bid on the bind we’re auctioning today, get the benefit of someone else doing all that work for you, AND do some good for the comics community we all love in the process!

Starting Bid: $25
Auction Ends: May 9, 2020 at 4 pm
