Chris Butcher on Tower Records’ Site

imageAt his blog comics.212.net, Christopher Butcher suggests that Tower Records has the rare on-line site that carries comics without being beholden to the Amazon.com juggernaut. If I write any more than that, or just run a big ol' block quote, you'll have no reason to go to his site and read what Butcher has to say about their distributor and their ability to fulfill orders. Butcher is right in that the prices seem competitive with discounts elsewhere, and the interface seems pleasant (although I have no idea if that's even a factor anymore). There's even free shipping at the $20 level. This reminds me that Tower Records' physical stores were carrying some comics material even ten years ago, although whether or not all of them or if people were buying stuff there was a matter of debate.
