Welcome to LightningRod Unlimited

Hello to all old friends and new!

I'm Michael De Lepine (pronounced DEE-la-peen), alias LightningRod Unlimited, and for those of you that don't know me, I'm a comics professional, having lettered comics for many years now. I was away from it for a while while I got married and moved out west from the Big Apple (both events now over 7 years ago). But now I'm back, having joined with the Comicbook Artists Guild, helping budding comic creators foster and marshall their talent in the industry (not to mention my own). The west coast chapter of CAG is putting out a new talent anthology (now at the printer's) for release at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, which is one of many surprises in the works from CAG at San Diego. If you want to be involved in CAG, write my buddies mazzstudio, dreamchildepress, or CAGwest, all right here on comicspace, or click on these links:

And Now, A Word Or Two About LightningRod Unlimited's Advance Comics eBay Store...

I've created what I believe to be one of the most unique eBay stores around. The LightningRod UnLimited eBay Store features advance listings on your favorite comic titles and collectible items, making it a certainty that you'll receive your items before they sell out at the comic specialty shops. If you miss out on picking up your favorite issues because you can't get to the comic stores on time, then my eBay store is the solution for you! With your help, LightningRod Unlimited will grow to become a popular force in promoting a true love of comic book art and storytelling and all its pop culture perks.

As of Thursday, February 1st, 2007, the LightningRod UnLimited Advance Comic eBay Store is up and running! Listed are various comic titles scheduled for April. There'll be plenty of specials, too! So please give LightningRod Unlimited a shot!

As an incentive for new customers, all first-time comic orders in the LightningRod Unlimited eBay Store will receive two (2) $FREE copies of any comic listed on the website up to a $2.99 cover price value for every ten (10) comics purchased (all books in question must be $2.99 cover price or less to qualify)! When you pay for your order via PayPal, simply send a note with your purchase stating which free comics you'd like included in your order. And, of course, you can combine your orders and save on shipping!

LightningRod Unlimited is planning an all-out grass-roots advertising campaign, internet-style! Advertising will be through net venues such as Craig’s List, the Comic Art Community web site and Comic Space, as well as classified ads in the Comic Buyers Guide magazine and any other method I can find. You can do your part to help promote and patronize LightningRod Unlimited by doing the following: if you like the service given to you, and you like how you're treated -- tell somebody! Tell your friends about LightningRod Unlimited! Word-of-Mouth is by far the oldest and best form of advertising available, and it costs us all nothing. LightningRod hopes to become a strong presence in comic book internet retail on eBay, but that can only be done by pleasing future customers such as you. So please let me know how LightningRod Unlimited's doing in these coming months by writing either through the "Ask Seller A Question" link on each of eBay auction and store listings or through my e-mail at

lightningrod70@yahoo.com

or here on Comic Space. By the way, my eBay User ID is the same as my Comic Space User ID: lightningrod_unltd.

On behalf of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman; Spider-Man, Captain America and Wolverine; Hellboy, Witchblade, Conan, Luke Skywalker and all the rest, LightningRod Unlimited looks forward to serving you!

Thank you all for reading this. We now return you to our regularly scheduled Comic Space web site...
