Ssalefish GSO First Look #210 for 5.12.21

On April Fool’s Day, the fine folks at Bad Idea Corp. announced that they’d be publishing a comic that could ONLY BE SOLD IN ONE 24 HOUR PERIOD, at the penalty of banishment from the Bad Idea community for violating the sales window, and it would only cost a BUCK! Surely, coming on April 1st, this had to be a joke!

But as with all Bad Ideas, they were very serious! Hank Howard Pizza Detective at Caligula’s Safe will be 16 pages, written by Robert Venditti and drawn by Stray Bullets creator David Lapham, costs you just one American dollar, and can only be purchased on Wednesday, May 12th during regular 8 AM - 8 PM business hours, or via the ComicHub portals from midnight until 11:59 PM!

To make it even better, Robert will be at the Concord store from 12-2 PM and the Greensboro shop from 4-6 PM to sign & date your copies for FREE! We’ll also have an extremely limited number of Venditti’s other Bad Idea title, Tankers #1, available for purchase. Despite this banger of a deal, as with all Bad Idea books, quantities are limited to one copy per customer!

To be clear, you can pre-order the book via all the usual methods (the Shipping Next Week page, ComicHub, Facebook, Instagram, & phone), but you must pay for it on Wednesday, May 12th, or we have to pull your pre-order and return it to corporate headquarters!

The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, May 12th (Tuesday, May 11th for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
