Bob's Comic Books
Today, I drove to Birmingham, Alabama, for work. I did the perfunctory search for local comic stores, and I found Bob comic shop just outside Birmingham, Alabama. The pictures on Google were promising. The outside looked rundown, and it seemed like this place actually had back issues.
I found the store, and sure enough there were bars on the doors and it was in what barely could pass for a dilapidated strip mall. But once inside, all the walls had comics on them, and there were boxes of back issues and even a few slabs. The owner, Bob, have been in business for about 20 years. He was clearly a dedicated collector himself and someone devoted to what he'd mitted was a bit of an anachronism: a store built for filling out runs. I found some good stuff, and a lot more that would have been fun to pick though if I had more time and more money. But here is what I did find.
