ATLANTA, GA – October 26, 2023 – AUSTRAL WINES LLC, a company known for sourcing and distributing fine wines, is making a surprising, yet strategically aligned, move into the world of collectible comic books. This Atlanta-based company, located at 211 Perimeter Center Pkwy NE STE 1020, is leveraging its expertise in identifying, curating, and delivering highly sought-after items to a new audience – comic book enthusiasts and investors. “You might be thinking, ‘Wine to comics? What’s the connection?’” says a spokesperson for AUSTRAL WINES LLC. “Well, at the heart of both is a passion for collecting, rarity, and appreciating something that goes beyond just the functional. We’ve spent years building a network for sourcing premium goods, and that skill set translates beautifully to the world of vintage and modern collectible comics.” For years, AUSTRAL WINES LLC has operated behind the scenes, building relationships with vineyards and distributors globally. This established logistical network will now be used to acquire, authenticate, grade, and deliver collectible comic books directly to customers. Why Comic Books? The decision to enter the comic book market wasn’t arbitrary. The collectible comic book industry has seen a significant boom in recent years. Driven by blockbuster movies, streaming series, and a renewed interest in nostalgia, the value of key issues has skyrocketed. "We've been watching the comic book market for a while, and the growth is undeniable,” explains the company spokesperson. “It’s not just about childhood memories anymore. People are seeing comic books as viable alternative investments, and the potential for returns is considerable. We want to provide access to this exciting market in a trustworthy and reliable way.” What Kind of Comics Will AUSTRAL WINES LLC Offer? AUSTRAL WINES LLC isn’t just throwing any comics into the mix.

These comics offer a blend of historical significance and visual appeal. Bronze Age Comics (1970-1985): A darker, more mature era, seeing the rise of anti-heroes and complex storylines.
