ABOUT US

A little bit about us...

We opened in June 2004, taking over the location from the previous store. With a little work (actually a lot) we transformed the store into the cool local comic book store where it's fun to hang out. We created more space, remodeled, added more merchandise, placed a couch and chairs, added music and brought in some exotic sodas. We carry all the mainstream titles with a large selection of independents (we support small publishers!). We firmly believe your comic book shop should be fun, carry diverse merchandise, have knowledgeable staff and encourage discussion in all aspects of the comic medium. So come in and give us a try! We are here to serve!

Jun Goeku - Owner

He is the owner who thinks he's the boss. The manager is really the boss.

STRENGTH: Able to lift 3 long comic boxes mostly full of image books
WEAKNESS: His wife, spiders and hot weather.
SPEED: An 80 year old man who ran in his younger days.
ENDURANCE: Don't test him, he may have another heat stroke (what a weenie).
INTELLIGENCE: Very smart (so he believes) but not really.

Mike Wellman - Manager

He is the guy you will most likely see at the store. Can answer almost any comic geek question (no seriously. He is the King Geek) He is the owner of Atomic Basement Entertainment, publisher of the Mac Afro series, the controversial TEX!, and the current Gone South series.

STRENGTH: Able to lift 2 long comic boxes 85% full of 70's & 80's comics.
WEAKNESS: Rainbow kryptonite and cockroaches.
SPEED: Fast as an agile 8 year old girl scout.
ENDURANCE: That of an 75 year old grandmother with emphysema.
INTELLIGENCE: Like a really, really smart chimpanzee, but not a gorilla.
