I have been a long time customer of Metropolis Collectibles. Metropolis Collectibles has very knowledgable staff when it comes to Golden and Silver Age comics and comic genre. The COO of Metropolis Collectibles, Vincent Zurzolo, even does a web radio show, Comic Zone, which promotes and profiles new comic artists and writers as well as have topics on the comic book industry. They are a pleasure to do business with and to talk comic book shop talk with.

Notes:
Ashley is a fellow Writer/Illustrator who self publishes the Millennia War comic book series. She is a very good artist and have been self publishing for about 3 years. She is a very accomplished writer and her comics are worth the money to check out. She has been featured in a few shows locally and on the east coast. She also made an appearance on Chicago Tonight which aired on WTTW Chicago. I hope to work more with her on a professional note with some of my comic series and to help her promote her comics.
