Best Comic Bookstore For The Rest Of Us

Comic Cave

In the moments left to them between jobs, volunteer commitments, social engagements and the past six months' housework, some folks make a regular habit of following the adventures of traditional, mass-market comic book heroes. You remember, the ones you read as a child... Marvel's X-Men or Fantastic Four, DC's Superman or Wonder Woman. In the days before Marvel killed Professor X, destroyed the universe as we knew it and temporarily changed all of their titles, one dropped by the local comix shop when time permitted, browsed the month's offerings, and purchased three or four regular titles. Once the comix publishers hit upon the idea of creating "collectors' items" every three or four months, however (a trend DC began with its so-called "Death of Superman" series), things changed. Comic Cave puts the fun back for the casual collector, always managing to have an adequate supply of popular titles, even during techno-autistic-savant feeding frenzies. Hang ten with the Silver Surfer or hang from the rafters with Gotham's "Caped Crusader" -- at Comic Cave!
