We’re packing up to move to our new house, and I discovered a cache of Journal Comic minis hiding in our closet! And I still have a decent chunk of unsold original strips! What to do with them? Let’s have a blowout moving sale!
Get an original strip of your choice and a randomly selected vintage, collectible, highly-sought-after TJC minicomic for $20, with free shipping to anywhere in the US! Overseas, only $25!
Each original strip is drawn in ink on 4″ by 11″ bristol, with corrections in white. Some strips were altered digitally, so the art might not exactly resemble the final printed strip. Strips marked with an asterisk (*) have been heavily modified.
