And now for a little horn-tooting:
David Gabriel, Marvel’s Senior VP of Sales, sent around an e-mail report of the Dark Tower midnight opening at Midtown Comics, and some responses from other retailers who participated. (Photos from the Midtown event are courtesy of Marvel’s Mike Pasciullo, VP of Business Development.)
Take it away, David:
________________________________________
Already reports on the event from last night, from all over the country have been tremendous. All retailers that I have heard from have reported sales close to a slow Wednesday on sale date. Comic retailers actually had people shake their hands thanking them for holding the event.
Random things I heard and/or saw myself at Midtown:
• People are flipping out over the book- many claiming it is the best example of a comic book ever
• LOTS of notice on the House Ads in the books, especially the Last of the Mohicans.
• People loved the personal note from Ralph Macchio (at least one person said "he's still there?")
• More new faces coming in the doors than ever before
• Many guys passed out the Dabel Brothers and MAX samplers along with the DT Sketchbooks
• Ladies bringing cookies
Congrats to EVERYONE for all the hard work on this
