Quackcast 229 - Enter the Dragon's den: comic book shops
Jul 26, 2015
Tantz and Pitface join Banes and Ozone to talk about comic book stores and the experience of going into them... Yes, that's right: webcomicers actually going into REAL bricks and mortar places that sell comics printed on PAPER! o_O It turns out that none of us really do that anymore for various reasons and we all have different recollections of going to cimicbook shops in the past. We also recount the experiences of other DDers who've described their comic buying adventures. Check out Gunwallace's haunting and desolate theme for the comic No Future, Vanish In Time.

I have been hanging out at my local gaming/comic book shop every week. I did not know this was going to be a topic for a QC! I really enjoy spending time hanging out at those places because the personality type that a hobby shop draws is very comforting to me.

I must admit that by the end of the episode, I had a hankerin' for a shot of tequila while digging through long boxes in the back of a musty, vaguely hostile comicbook store.

Pic, not pix. Worst...typing...ever!

I love that pix, haha...the first time I knew what eBay was, I bought that figure. Don't know where it went though...maybe he went the way of our dwindling comic stores!
