A long time ago... Red Raven 1 and Captain America 74.

 

Just goes to show you it takes all kinds. I could just as easily put my Red Raven #1 in the thread about books I don't regret selling. Never had much interest in the book and it was tough as nails trying to find a buyer. Carted that thing from show to show.

 

But you know what? There was an initial fondness. The Red Raven arrived the same day as Subby #1 and Human Torch #1, so we were very happy that day, and enjoyed goofing around with the books

I think Bill needs to start a "Cool kick comic book photos I have" thread (thumbs u

 

NO DOUBT!!!

 

Bill, I want to go to your comic store that day. :o

 

Man, comic stores now are just book stores. And not good book stores either.

I couldn't agree more Ryan!

 

Thats why I am seriously thinking about opening a comic shop right now and doing it right! Kind of like the one you had your art show at but with GA books everywhere! :applause:

don't do it...overhead will kill you...

keep in mind, stores like bill's did great, all PRE internet...with material so accessible these days, no way you could afford to cover overhead, as you would have to add that cost onto your books, which would put them over market value...

 

do a virtual store, if you must, but TRUST me, opening a store now (not talking about establishments that have been around for 15 years and proven they can weather the economy etc), will only result in lost $, and suck the fun right out for you

I'm pretty sure I visited your store at least once. Were you in uptown during the late 80s, early 90s? If so, I stopped by once or twice when I was in NO. I used to live in Hattiesburg so NO was a weekend playground.

Yep, the store is still there, but no golden age. It was up on Oak St. near Carrollton and St. Charles.

 

I also had a location by the lake near UNO.

Post 'em. These photos are of a bygone age, when you could find lots of decent Timelys at a comic shop. Not a frequent occurrence these days.
