Cryer from the Castle 5/20

Krypto's Golden Biscuit Contest

 Available June 18th

Two lucky comic book fans will win the opportunity to attend the World Premiere of director James Gunn's Superman, taking place in Los Angeles, by discovering "Krypto’s Golden Biscuit" hidden inside the front cover of DC’s facsimile edition reprint of the 1955 comic book Adventure Comics #210 , which will land in local comic book shops starting on June 18! 


Written by Otto Binder and drawn by Curt Swan (including art by Ramona Fradon and George Papp), this iconic comic book features Krypto’s first appearance in comics in the story "The Superdog from Krypton," where a young Clark Kent rediscovers Superboy’s best friend in this heartwarming reunion spanning years of time and light-years of space.

De Minimus Exemption

 

Since the “de minimus” exemption expired on May 2, a look at their websites show online fast fashion retailers Temu and Shein are approaching the addition duties different. Temu has apparently moved a lot of product to stateside warehouses and shows these “local” items, that avoid the tariff, first when a customer searches on the side. Shein, meanwhile, apparently has little to no US presence and has chosen to include the tariffs in its displayed costs, not breaking them out for consumers as Amazon had considered doing.

Tariffs

 Starting to see some effects from tariffs, especially in supplies. Arriving restocks of Ultra Pro Standard 2.5” x3.5” Soft Sleeves, commonly referred to as “penny sleeves”, will now cost $1.22 per pack, quite a jump from the previous price of 54 to 57 cents a pack, a price increase of about 125%, certainly rendering the penny sleeve designation as moot.  Now the question is:  raise the price on supplies to a figure whereby the store makes its standard margin, or add the tariff amount to the current retail price and treat it as a tax?
