Yes, we're in the home stretch of 2023, as hard as that may be to believe. And as this is the first online-only holiday season, here's our picks for a Copacetic Christmas 2023, and here's our much shorter list for books (and, just so you know, these lists are both still under construction, as new holiday items are still arriving on a daily basis). Also: Pittsburgh shoppers will be able to find most of these items at Doomed Planet Comics in the former Copacetic digs at 3138 Dobson. Doomed Planet will also be offering Gift Certifcates (and, for any procrastinators out there, they will also honor outstanding Copacetic Gift Certificates; whew!).
>>> ALSO, PLEASE NOTE: Order processing will be largely on hold through the last week of the year, resuming full force at the start of the new year. We apologize for any delays. <<<
Recent arrivals include a big batch of beautifully printed (mostly risograph) books from Perfectly Acceptable Press, including the latest from Alex Graham!
And, as the unpacking of the move continues, more items that were previously unlisted and/or thought to have been out of stock also continue to turn up. So, anyone curious to see what they are can do so via the option category Discovered During the Move!, which all of these new and/or reactivated listings will be so tagged. Some of these items are standard price, some are collector priced due to scarcity (but at below market), and some are sale priced. We still have a looong way to go in the unpacking, so anyone interested in doing so will have reason to check back on occasion to see what else turns up. Also, please note: most of these items are only single copies.
And for a limited edition, handmade-in-Pittsburgh item, how about the Sense of Place Pittsbugh Postcard Box Set from Karen Lillis? It oculd double as a party game for hardcore Pittsburghers: Name that place!
Married to Comics @ The Harris Theater, ONE NIGHT ONLY: Saturday, December 2, 7:30pm
Here's a chance to see the just completed documentary film on the lives and times of underground comix legends, Justin Green and Carol Tyler, who were married to comics, and each other. PLUS: Q&A with director John Kinhard and featured artist Carol Tyler, and moderated by Comics Journal Contributing Writer John Kelly. Learn more HERE and HERE.
AND: Doomed Planet Comics at the former Copacetic digs up on the third floor at 3138 Dobson Street will be staying OPEN LATE Saturday – until at least 6:30 or so – so anyone headed down to see the film can stop in on the way. That's what we'll be doing, so maybe see you there!
AND: As the unpacking of the move proceeds, items that were previously unlisted and/or thought to have been out of stock, are turning up, one after another, including some surprising items. So, we have created a new category – Discovered During the Move! – and are tagging all of these new and/or reactivated listings. We have only just begun posting them, so please check back to see what else we discover. Also, please note: most of these items are only single copies.
OK, Doomed Planet Comics is now up and running on the third floor at 3138 Dobson Street! Copacetic shop hours are being maintained (and are listed above, on the right).
Here at The Copacetic Comics Company, unpacking, sorting and organizing the stock in its new environs are dominating the days. Progress is being made, resulting in the pull rate improving and order processing speeding up. Posting the new arrivals on the site is starting to pick up as well. Thank you for your patience.
The latest arrivals include the new issues of Love and Rockets, Tongues and PeePee PooPoo, along with the final issue of Ginseng Roots and a nice batch of books from The Mansion Press in Paris!

Internet Customers, PLEASE NOTE: The transportation of the massive volume of goods from the third floor at 3138 to the new webstore set-up and ancillary storage spaces has been largely accomplished – but now comes the hard part: organizing it all! And so, while we now have many items immediately to hand, we still have a ways to go. Thus, some/many orders placed over this website continue to be likely to experience delays and/or partial shipments (the available part of the order shipping first, with the rest following in a subsequent shipment). There may also be outages in those cases where we are unable to locate stock in a timely manner. Please bear with us during this transition. Thank you for your patience!
