A Short Interview With Michael Kupperman



Help Me Find Good Small-Town Comic Book Shops

I would be very interested in drawing attention to any good comic book shops out there that happen to exist in small towns. I can rattle off about three dozen great stores, but they all seem to be in humongous cities. I'm doubly interested in seeing if some of the better smaller community comic book shops survived the 1990s.

So if you know any great comic book shops that are in cities with fewer than 100,000 people, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) so I can talk to them and bring some attention to them at the site.

A couple of qualifiers:

1. I'm not as interested in towns that border big cities as I am in towns that stand alone.

2. A good shop doesn't have to suit my taste in comics. It has to reasonably try and meet its customers' needs.

As I explain here, my standards for comic shops are a Comfortable Shopping Experience, Knowledgeable and Friendly Staff, Willingness to Order For or Refer Customers, and, if possible, Something Special or Noteworthy About the Store -- something that would make it worth a visit if I were visiting from out of town.

So brag on your comic shop if you have a good one and you're not in a big metropolis. I'd love to hear about it, and I'll run your comments next Sunday.

Todd Allen has made his book available on-line; I cannot at this time recommend it based on content, as I haven't read a single word. But it's all there, so if you're interested in this subject I assume you wouldn't want to wait for me to get to it.
