RIP, Super Max
A tribute to Super Max! 
Back in February, one of our very special FlyCo Faithful passed away.
Max was a special young man, with special needs. Flying Colors was his Fortress of Solitude, the place where he found what he loved... and the place where he loved to be.
Max was here for signings. His birthday was always near Free Comic Book Day, so it was like our FCBD party was a part of his birthday party! As a student at Ygnacio Valley High School, Max arranged his schedule around our open hours here at Flying Colors. He was a graduation speaker at YV for his graduation in 2019.

Max created his own superheroes. He lived vicariously through the ones he found on the racks here at Flying Colors.
Today I was visited by Max's mom (seen in the photo here). She was here to thank us for creating a community that meant so much to her son.
I thanked her for validating our mission here-- to Bring Happiness through Comics.
Max was especially happy when he was here.
Now that he's made the journey across the Rainbow Bridge, we know Super Max will be with us always.

A few guidelines we are implementing to maintain safety for our FlyCo Faithful and our FlyCo Retailing Brigade:
* Masks are required to be worn by all staff and customers
in the store.
We will have a limited number of disposable masks available, but we do ask you to bring your own!
* We will be limiting the customers in the store to maintain some physical distancing.
* We may also limit how long customers can remain in the shop.

* We may also limit how long customers can remain in the shop.
* We will monitor the number of people in the store and set
up a line outside as necessary.
* All children must be accompanied by an adult. We maintain the right to be able to limit
that to one child per adult during peak periods.
* We will still offer our nearly world-famous CURBSIDE COMIC
SERVICE for those who would prefer to not come inside quite yet.
* While we will once again be taking cash payments, we much prefer
credit card payments.
* Our cleaning and sanitizing protocols will be stepped up
to insure a great environment for everyone!
One word of caution:
Our orders for all comics and other products are much leaner due to our sales being down more than 80% for these last two and half months.
We HIGHLY encourage you to become a FlyCo Sub Club member by giving us a list of the titles and series you know you want month in and month out. We also HIGHLY encourage your orders from our store copy of the Diamond Previews catalog that lists thousands of new comics, graphic novels, toys, games and more!
