    Haha.  Walgreens announced in 2017 they were closing 600 stores nationwide.  They had 53 in SF alone compared to around 22 for CVS, their biggest competitor.  It wasn't shoplifting that led them to close them.  

    respectfully, I think that it was indeed shoplifting ...

    Appreciate the info, have been trying to put together a complete list as well.  There are way more of these than most people are aware of, ol' Roy seems to have found dipping into funny books really percolated the inspirado ...

    I think I can add

    Strange Suspense Stories #72 ("Brushstrokes 1")

    I also have Our Fighting Forces #66 on my list but don't own the book and don't know what painting it is supposed to have "inspired", so not sure if that is a real one or not?

    REMEMBERING THAT FIRST LCS...

    in Comics General

    Posted · Edited by kazoo

    I was 7 years old in 1973, when my older brother David (then 10) and I became interested in the Marvel comics line.  Prior to that we did have some random Gold Key/Disney type comics, which were bought for us by our parents to keep us occupied on long trips.  But my brother, who was reading about Mythology, started buying a few issues of Thor, the Avengers and Captain Marvel from the local 7-11 spinner racks (in Hampton VA, where we grew up).  I was at first attracted to the DC/Superman line, since my then-favorites were Supes and the Flash.  But the lure of "cool" Marvels soon grabbed me too, and I was joining my brother at the 7-11 where I started buying Spider-Man, Avengers, Defenders, Captain America and other Marvels.

    I noticed that there were also spinner racks at some of the bookstores at the local mall, and the "Book 'n' Card" store even put out their issues weeks ahead of the 7-11!   My brother's interest waned but I became more obsessed and haunted all the racks where I might find a wayward issue -- in those days, for you youngsters, distribution was spotty and the local rack might only hold a few copies of the latest issue which would sell quickly, so you really needed to constantly check to be sure you didn't miss anything.

    I believe it was sometime in '73 that I went with my Dad to "Paul's Coin Shop", then in Greenwood Shopping Center (a tiny strip of stores, including a barber shop and High's Ice Cream I think).  Paul's had not only old coins but an assortment of flea market type stuff, and what blew my mind were several tall stacks of old comics.  If I remember right they were 10¢ each (cover price of a new comic at the time was 20¢).  Being 7, I had not much to spend, but found a (for me) fascinating old comic called "Not Brand Ecch" #7, with its parodies of Superman and the Fantastic Four.  I later found a really beat up copy of FF #54, which just happened to feature the "Evil Eye" which I had just read about in the Avengers/Defenders war going on at the time, another lucky find for a little kid.

    So Paul's was really the first place I found old comics for sale.  I later discovered Bender's and across the river Zeno's, as well as a little store at an antique mall called Etc., and began buying via mail order catalogs/CBG ads, which went on for decades until the internet took over.
