The Mad Irishman

I think you and I shopped at the same LCS. I remember it as the One Book Shop, but it was so long ago I could be mistaken. But it was near Forest Ave/St. if I recall, in a small strip mall near the college. There was a Christian book store in the same building that also would have comics. However they stapled cards into the back covers of them. It was a great store and the owner would often get in key Marvel and DC silver age. It was such a thrill to see those books back in the mid 70s. That's the one! I was trying to remember if it was "Store" or "Shop"

My first shop was the One Book Store on Mill Avenue in Tempe, AZ. It was a small college-town store, but it was amazing for a kid who loved comics. So many great memories there...I'd head over for my weekly trip with my mom, grab my books, and then we'd head over to the Chuckbox (an amazing burger joint). There was a copy of Amazing Fantasy 15 that was on the wall for months, with the astronomical price tag of $150 bucks. I started saving up for it, but it sold before I could grab it. Knowing how bummed I was about that, my mom bought me a copy of ASM 129 instead. Still have that book, too Great memories, great topic!
