Into the Vortex - 69
Birthday Bonanza
Today is cause for celebration! Why? Because today is Vortex Books and Comics co-founder Mary SanGiovanni’s birthday! And what better way to celebrate than by snagging one or two or five of her books or comics from the online store today? Each one of them will come personally signed by Mary herself. If you’d like it made out to someone special, just indicate so in the notes at checkout.
A few highlights from this week’s eBay auctions:
Lot of Assorted Manga, including Chainsaw Man, Star Trek, etc.
Marvel’s Battlestar Galactica — Whitman cover variants.

We hope to see some of you next month at the Scares That Care charity fundraising events in Williamsburg, VA. Mary is hosting the Women’s Writing Symposium (details here) and Brian is hosting AuthorCon VI (details here).
In the meantime, thanks for your continued patronage! And if you like reading this every week, you might also like Brian’s other free weekly newsletter, which can be found here)..
