Tales of Other Worlds
Tales of Other Worlds - The new works of Jamie MacDonald
Thursday, February 25, 2010 at 7:00pm
We at 48 are ecstatic to once again display Jamie's works. He's continuing to explore and display a fantastic sci-fi universe in painting nostalgic in style but contemporary in their approach.
For those lucky enough to have seen his 'Tales of Inner Space' series last year and regretted not picking up a painting be sure to bring your checkbooks as this time around some of his paintings will be smaller and sure to sell quick.
Also note that during this show 48 will have our first call for submissions for a group show based on video game & comic fan art! Details to come soon

Boxing Day at 48
We hope everyone scored some nifty toys and goodies this Christmas, we also hope a lot of it came from our store.
Getting into the holiday spirit we've picked some nice specials and extended boxing day into boxing week at 48 till New Years Eve.
Many video game titles from '09 have dropped in price as have many of our action figures.
All regular priced Manga is now %30 off
Regular priced trade paperbacks are %15 off
All of our back issue bin comics are also at half price!
Most of these deals are only on till New Years so be sure to get down to the shop this week. This reminds me that I should also mention that we'll be closing early for New Year Eve around 7:00pm.

Christmas at 4C8B
Come to the store!
48's getting lots of cool product for Christmas shopping!
Batman fans will be impressed with a large shipment of figurines and cool merch that fits any budget. I personally love our Joker Poker set featuring chips and cards to simulate The Dark Knight Joker's personal deck.
For those who like off beat comics like Umbrella Academy and the Middle Man I highly recommend the CHEW graphic novel.
Stocking stuffers like our Nintendo trading cards, key chains and candy make for a good start. We also have the brand new Blood Energy Potions. From the company that brings us our Mana and Health energy potions comes blood in it's own disturbingly realistic I.V. package.
Magic fans may enjoy the limited edition all foil sliver deck. Sticking a booster pack to a wrapped present is also an awesome addition to enhance any gift.
And as always we have gift certificates that can be made out in any denomination!

It's begining to look a bit like Christmas
Hey folks. Time to clean out those Halloween cobwebs and gear up for another exciting Christmas season.
Fall has had a bountiful harvest of great video games that we've been enjoying in the store and eagerly anticipate in this coming week.
I've been addicted to the looting multi player action of Borderlands. Our regulars have been raving about titles like Dragon Age & Brutal Legend. Be sure to pick up some point cards from us to download GTA IV's Ballad of Gay tony too.
Looking into the future we are anticipating a busy night tonight with our midnight release of Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2.
All you Nintendo fans should keep an eye out for the new Zelda Spirit Tracks and Super Mario Brothers Wii. Mario Brothers Wii will also be our tournament of the month for November. Details to follow soon.
