After yesterday’s real estate listing for Wizard HQ rocketed through the inboxes and AIM windows of the comics industry like a hot knife through butter, ComicMix called up to get the scoop, or at least what would pass for scoop:
When asked for comment on the posting, a representative of Wizard identified only as “Ed” said that the publisher was simply “checking our business options.”
Additionally, when asked about the company’s plans should the building find a new owner, the Wizard representative responded, “We may not go anywhere. We may sell the building and stay as a tenant. We may sell the building and move across the street.”
Whatever the case, the building seems to come with a Kiel Phegley, a sure-to-be valuable add-on in any real estate deal.
How much for that Phegley in the window?
Ben Morse took my Kiel Phegley!

Without Phegley, they’re asking $7 million.
I guess when you’ve downsized a good portion of your personnel you also need to downsize the building at some point.
