ICv2.com: Post-Katrina Retailer Fates

imageICv2.com exercised its connections to find out about some of the comics industry retailer people affected by Hurricane Katrina, in particular those in New Orleans. The big New Orleans comics shop, Crescent City Comics & Cards, was at 6111 Elysian Fields Avenue, which although close to some higher ground on what looks like the University of New Orleans campus was more than five feet below sea level, at least according to my squinty eye leveled at various elevation maps.

Comics Buyer's Guide is discussing this tragedy and past efforts, while the ICv2.com story says writer Peter David has pledged royalties from the first issue of his new Spider-Man series. There are print and on-line charity works being put together.
