Fantom Comics was established in 2005 with twin goals. One: to offer a wide selection of comic books, graphic novels and manga to current comic book fans. Two: to do our best to introduce these under appreciated art forms to the public at large. Fantom Comics is an open, inclusive store that welcomes people who've never read a comic book in their lives. So whether you're a fan who want to talk comics, or a novice who wants to learn comics (or just look for the right gift for the fan in your life), our employees are there to help you.
1) New Books come out this Friday, January 2nd.
2) Our Union Station store will be closed on New Year's Day, but our Tenleytown store will be open intermittently. Management plans to hang out at the store for a bit to judge the value of being open. Please call before coming.
3) Happy New Year's!
50% off all Yankee Swap gifts!
Here’s how it works:
At 6:30pm on Friday, December 19, we’ll start a Holiday Happy Hour at Jame's Hoban's Irish Restaurant and Bar in DuPont Circle. (FYI: it’s $2.50 Miller Light Night).
It’ll be a fun time. A great chance to meet up with the geek community in DC. We’ll also be playing YANKEE SWAP (aka White Elephant, Lazy Scranton, Thieving Elves, Miguel Sanchez, etc). The rules of the game are pretty simple (from Wikipedia):
All participants bring their gift to “the pile.” Gifts are wrapped, but are not labeled to reflect a sender or recipient. Everyone then draws a number, which determines the order of gift choosing. The person who drew #1 chooses a gift from the pile, and then shows it to everyone. It is now Person #2’s turn. They can either steal an item previously unwrapped or open a new gift from the pile. If a person's gift is stolen, that person can immediately unwrap a new gift or steal another person's gift. This process repeats until a gift has been stolen 3 times or until a person chooses to unwrap a new gift (as opposed to stealing a gift), at which point play proceeds to the next person. Owners of opened gifts must keep them visible for all to see and hold them up when requested.
Here’s how you get into the Yankee Swap pot: from now until noon on Friday the 19th, you can buy ANY product or products in either Fantom store that fall between $9.99 and $24.99 for 50% off. We’ll wrap your present up and hold onto it for the game on the 19th. (Note: Yankee Swap purchases are unreturnable/unexchangeable).
We want to stress that you DO NOT need to participate in the Yankee Swap to join us for the Happy Hour. All are welcome!
Hope to see you there!
