Hey, Kids! Comics!

Sorry for the late update (shipping delays, yuck!), but take a gander at this week’s new releases, freshly unpacked and ready for (virtual) perusal.

There’s still time before this week’s scheduled pickups (that’s Friday, 11am–3pm and Saturday, 11am–3pm) to email us with any additional requests, so don’t wait.

See you guys then!

Update: New Comics Available on Friday, May 22nd

Posted by wonderlandcomicsny on May 19, 2020
Posted in: New This Week.

Hey, everyone,

A quick update — shipping delays beyond our control mean that we will not have our full selection of new releases on Wednesday as originally planned. Curbside pickup will still be available on Wednesday, 11–3pm, for in-stock items, but if you’d like to pick up this week’s new releases, we will have them available on Friday, May 22nd, with curbside pickup 11–3pm.

While we would like our reopening and the comeback of new comics to go smoothly, we have to expect some bumps along the road. We’ll deal with them the best we can, and keep moving forward.

Thanks for understanding!

April 24th Update: Oldies But Goodies!

Posted by wonderlandcomicsny on April 24, 2020
Posted in: The Book Shelf.

Hey, guys!

We hope everyone is well. All of us on the Wonderland crew miss seeing our great customers at the store every day. Let us know how you’re doing — we would be glad to hear from you!

Another thing we miss is getting new comic shipments each week. Don’t you as well? We’re very hopeful to have some news on that in the near future, but we have nothing definite yet… Keep your fingers crossed for some details soon.

On that mysterious note, while we’re waiting for new releases to resume, we have been busy restocking our oldies. You can look forward to a greater selection that ever when we’re able to open the doors again. (But you don’t have to wait to send us back issue requests. Email a want list anytime, and we’ll check in our bins for you.)

Speaking of restocking, here’s a quick peek at some new additions to our back issue selection:

If something catches your eye, don’t hesitate to ask! We’re happy to give you the lowdown regarding price, condition, and anything else you might be wondering about. The same goes for graphic novels, supplies, and games and activity kits as well. By getting requests in early, we can get you squared away for our next curbside pickup date on Saturday, April 25th, 11am–1pm.

We’ll look forward to seeing you soon, or at least hearing from you. Be safe! Read comics!

April 20th Update: Back Issues & Educational Comics!

Posted by wonderlandcomicsny on April 20, 2020
Posted in: The Book Shelf.

Hey, everyone,

With new comic releases temporarily suspended, you may want to consider some of the thousands of back issues that we have in stock (many for $3.00 and less). Great reading, for great value! Take a look at a small sampling of what we have to offer:

Don’t see what your collection is missing? Want lists are welcome! Just send us an email with any requests, and we’ll do the hands-on hunting for you. Shipping is of course available, and our next curbside pick-up date is Wednesday, April 22nd, 11am–2pm. Get your orders in early, so that we can get your invoices ready to go; no muss, no fuss!

And if you or other members of your family are ready to climb the walls with boredom, what about some fantastic graphic novels and educational comics, perfect for any age?

Our email inbox is ready and waiting for your inquiries. Stay safe and healthy, all, and we’ll continue to serve up exciting stories to get you through the week.

April 9th Update: Fun Books for All Ages!

Posted by wonderlandcomicsny on April 9, 2020
Posted in: The Book Shelf.

Hey, you guys!

Hope this finds everyone well.

We have no updates on when new releases will resume, but remember we have a store full of back issues, trade paperbacks, and an extensive line of comic supplies. If you ever thought, “maybe I’ll get around to reading (insert title here) someday”, now might just be the time to start!

We’re offering curbside pickup for your prepaid orders on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Mailing your order straight to you is an option as well! Please send us an email with requests if there’s anything you need or you’d like us to check stock on.

This week’s bookshelf picture is to remind any of you with young people stuck at home that we have something for everyone at Wonderland Comics:

We do want to offer a heartfelt “thank you” to all who have picked up your orders and given such great support in the past few weeks. We miss you and can’t wait to see you again. In the meantime, be safe!

April 2nd Update: Good Reading & Best Sellers!

Posted by wonderlandcomicsny on April 2, 2020
Posted in: The Book Shelf.

Hello, everyone,

We are happy to take orders for anything in stock, (it keeps us going until new releases are distributed again), but even if you don’t have any requests — please let us know how you are. The Wonderland staff cares about all of our customers, and we hope that you, and your loved ones, are well and staying safe!

Take a peek at a small selection that may interest you:

Don’t forget that our eBay store has a myriad of activity kits and family board games to help pass the time. We also have a great selection of supplies for protecting your comics; walls of graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and hardcovers; and an enormous back issue catalog to help fill holes in your collection. Just ask!

(Please note that without in-store shopping hours we won’t always be able to answer the phone, but we are always monitoring our email.)

Shipping is available to everyone, and we’re also currently able to arrange curbside pickup of prepaid orders on Wednesdays, 11am–2pm and Saturdays, 11am–1pm. Email us for any requests, an invoice, or more details.

Be safe!

Wonderland Comics Weekly Update

Posted by wonderlandcomicsny on March 26, 2020
Posted in: New This Week.

Hello all!

This “expected Next Week” news note is very different that usual, in keeping with the times….

Here is what we know at this time:

New comic distribution has been suspended. Diamond Comic Distributors cannot pack and ship out any new product, so there will be no new releases this coming week. Quite likely for some weeks ahead, please understand. This is not just for Wonderland, this is worldwide.

Our store has pre-ordered two months of product — all of the April and May new issues originally scheduled — so when the releases begin to flow you need have no worries that we will have everything that is available for you.

We are only certain that the shop must be “closed” as per the New York State PAUSE order. As much as we like ’em comics are not deemed “essential”. This means that there can be no in-store shopping, or employees working together in the store. (This would seem to make sense and is for our well being as well as yours.)

Orders that are paid for online can be safely shipped. We are happy to mail an order if you would like. (We would of course need your address for that.)

Hopefully, you can be encouraged to check out our eBay store for family games or kids’ activity kits, or we would certainly welcome orders for trade paperbacks (catch up on your reading!) or supplies (take care of your comics!) We can give you a PayPal invoice for any order.

Your business would certainly be appreciated (as it is always)! At this time it will greatly assist us to be able to keep the store viable until distribution of new comics renews.

Wayne (as owner, not as an employee) is willing to offer curbside pick up (just as the local Sherwin Williams, and Pet Supplies Plus are doing) for prepaid orders at specified times, but we are trying to receive legal assurance that this is allowed by the governor’s mandate.

We will certainly keep you updated, but let us know if you have any questions at any time. No one will be at the store on any regular basis to answer the phone, but we will be monitoring our email every day.

Thanks very much to all of you that have expressed and offered support during these eventful times. We have always been proud to be the store with the best customers! We wish you well, and encourage each of you to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

— Wayne, Val, Chris, Alyssa, and Lilly
