Welcome to the triumphant return of Behind the Counter, where we spotlight the stores that supply us with objects of our various obsessions.
For this installment we have another international entry, Pulp Fiction, from beautiful Long Beach, California USA!
I was first introduced to Pulp Fiction through their online store – CheapGraphicNovels.com. I was doing some research into which online store I could use to buy some back issue trade paperbacks at reasonable prices and CheapGraphicNovels stood far and above the competition. Not only did they have an awesome selection of trades available, but their prices were unbelievable! Brand new trades at 30, 40 & 50% off! The shipping is very reasonable, fast, and the books are always well packed and arrive un-damaged.
That alone would ensure my custom, but what really keeps me coming back is the customer service. The man in charge of the online orders is Max, and as long as he is working at Pulp Fiction, I will continue to buy from there. He is 100% committed to his customers and has always provided me personally with the best customer service. So here is the man himself, take it away Max!
You may be wondering about the title of this article. Let me explain.
I have recently been made aware of the writing of Mr Andrez Bergen, an Australian writer and musician, now living in Japan, and after reading the 3 books of his that I knew of, I wanted to spread the word. But when I contacted him (and after I embarrassing both myself and him with my fanboyish praise), he mentioned that he was working on a new novel, featuring SUPERHEROES!!! I un-ashamedly begged for the chance to preview it and he graciously agreed and we’ll be covering it on the podcast! 🙂
That of course meant that I then had to change the title of this article and this is what I came up with. Please send notes of adoration and/or prayers for my now condemned Soul to our usual email.
But I digress.
This article will cover Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat, One Hundred Years of Vicissitude & The Condimental Op.
(Andrez also has an anthology called The Tobacco-Stained Sky but I haven’t read that – yet!)
