It's Time for the New Dimension Comics Legendary Basement Sale Again!!!



Every section of pop culture has a certain mythology about it. There’s Bigfoot, Mary Black, trolls, dragons, and the New Dimension Comics Legendary Basement Sale. You know, you’ve got to see it to believe it.

What’s that? You’re not familiar with the NDC Basement Sale? Well, to make a long story shorter (okay, it’s not that long anyway), the basement of the Ellwood City mega-store of New Dimension Comics catalogs and curates over a half-million comic books. Two or three times a year, that basement is open for the shopping public.

Since I am an honored employee at NDC, I’m largely responsible for filing into what I consider the personal collection of the owner and probably the finest selection of back issues that I have EVER seen. Factor in three decades worth of collection up and down the East Coast, and that statement should really mean something.

The New Dimension Comics Basement contains pretty much all the popular titles you would expect, Spider-Man, Hulk, Avengers, etc, but this place is also home to some of the more obscure and difficult to find titles. Looking for The Human Fly? We’ve got that. Looking for Starriors? Yep, we’ve got that too. What about such modern hard to find fare like Rick and Morty, Beavis and Butthead, or even Alf? Yep, we’ve got those too.

What about the people behind the books? Garth Ennis, George Perez, Ron Lim, Todd McFarlane, Warren Ellis, Frank Miller, and many many more are all represented in the basement with various works associated with each artist or writer. Your favorite is probably there as well.

The best thing? All of these issues are only $1 each. Now that’s cool.

This is one of the best chances collectors, fans, and enthusiasts have to pick up runs of titles without spending a ton of cash. This is likely the last chance of the year to have some ease plucking those issues you’ve been trying to get your hands on for years.

The New Dimension Comics Legendary Basement Sale starts at 8AM and runs until 7PM on September 30, 2017, and with Fall Fest taking place around Ellwood City that day parking might be a bit of a challenge, but this is one date that collectors should try to make.


After all, seeing is believing. So grab your checklist and stop by, you might be surprised to check off some pretty impressive boxes. I’ll be there to help you find as many treasures as possible so feel free to ask or just say hi. There is A LOT to see and pick through.
