  7. Too funny, I was jumping in this thread to mention The Great Escape myself! I started buying comics off the rack at a convenience store at the end of the street when I was a kid. In time my best friend told me about a store that JUST sold comics. Eventually his folks took us both there and my mind was blown. The posters on the walls, the smell of the newsprint, and the bins full of 25, 35 and 50 cent books! I was in heaven. After that I was able to talk my folks into taking me out there every other month or so. This was back when I could recycle aluminum cans and gather my meager allowance, head into the store with $5-$10, and walk out with armloads of stuff. I eventually ended up working there when I got out of high school, when I was about 19. A lot of fond memories of that brief year and a half as well. But when I go in there now, as a nearly 40-year old man, I still see the place through the eyes of 10-year-old me. I was visiting my Uncle in Franklin, TN and I could've sworn i went to this awesome shop called the Great Escape near Nashville. Had to be early 90's. They sold toys, records, anything pop culture. I'm sure you're right. They were a regional chain. I think the Nashville store was the original...if not, it was certainly the headquarters, at least when I was there. The Nashville store was almost more a record store than anything, but they did have a huge selection of comics and other stuff as well. I think they eventually spun off a second store in Nashville. TGE had other locations, though I can't remember all of them. I believe they took over Pac-Rats, which was...Bowling Green, maybe? The Louisville store is still going strong. I try to get in there every couple of weeks to look at back issues. Yeah they bought out Pac Rats here in Bowling Green. I live in Greenville and we didn't have a LCS I bought all mine off the comic racks in the old IGA store and Uncle Lees in Greenville what I didn't get thru a mail subscription in the old brown bags The first comic shop I went to was Comic Quest in Evansville Indiana before they moved to the larger location, I used to drive over there every weekend It was awesome It just doesn't seem the same in the bigger location.
  8. Picked these up at the local LCS paid around 6.00 to 10.00 dollars on average a comic some lower, not to bad I don't think. [*] [*] [*]
  9. You got me thinking,just maybe..... Should I drink the Kool Aid? Don't do it. That's a beautiful book. I will have one someday.
  10. Walter I'd take that 3.0 all day and smile from ear to ear. Looks even better than a 4.5 to me.
  11. Really? I was thinking that was a pretty sub-par haul for Greggy.
