LA Weekly’s Underappreciated Shops

This brief article throwing the spotlight on two Los Angeles comics shops not magnificently stocked hosts of celebrity signings or cutting-edge boutiques hints at something that's hard for some of us to confess. As much as most comics readers adore the best comics shops, and if they live nearby will make them their regular buying point, and will visit them when they come to town, for a lot of us there can be as much appeal in comics shops that you don't hear about, because that's where you're likely to find a box of 75-cent 1981 2000 ADs, or a complete run of Thirteen Going On Eighteen. The chances of finding such a place are made a bit more difficult by the on-line auction era, and if we had to choose one over the other we'd keep the great stores, but I think there's a Wimbledon Green whispering in the ear of more of us than we'd care to admit.

I remember buying this comic for $1 last May; I don't remember the act of buying So Many Splendid Sundays. Am I bad person? Maybe.
