Jerry's Used Books was next door. They had one big bookshelf of old comics. That's how I found CMCC in the first place.

Wow...just ran across this post while doing a little reminiscing. Although I haven't been there in a lot of years, I worked at the store in Farmington during my teen years from 1974 to 1980. My best friend at the time and I got hired at age 13 as part time comic and card sorters / counter help on the weekends. I ended up doing most of the buying in the comic book area by the end of my time there and my buddy Brad ended up as manager . I moved to Florida in 1981 but still stopped in to visit whenever I was in town. No matter how much time went by, CC always treated me as part of the staff. On one visit, after I had been gone for close to 15 years, I stopped in to say hi and pick up a poster for my Niece's Birthday. When they rang me up it was for less than the price. I asked and the manager (John Curtis) pointed to a handwritten list on the side of the register that was titled "Employee Discount" I laughed and asked why that had not been updated in the last 15 years and was told it had been updated a couple of months ago and he was told to leave my name on it. That's the kind of guy CC was funnier than Hell and very loyal to his friends. I have nothing but great memories of my time there. I am very sad to hear of his passing. Sadder still that it has been so long since I was in touch with him.
