The last time I was there (think Death Of Superman) I found one just off Hwy 41.

 

Not much in Naples for guys our age unless your loaded or retired.

Let me take that back, they did have a Ferrari dealer in town at the time.

 

:cloud9:

 

It's not (or at least it wasn't 10 years ago) much of a tourist town but it is a gorgeous town if you like a quiet place to relax with lots of great places to feast.

 

The beaches also always seem to have nicer weather than the surrounding area.

While you're there, go to Sanibel and Marco Island. Now those are awesome beaches.

 

When I lived in Ft. Myers (way too many years ago) there was nothing in the area...in fact the only thing in Sarasota was the Ringling Bros. museum.

That's impossible. You've lived there long enough to lose your sense of smell.

I'm from Fort Myers and I must say that there isn't a good comic shop in that area. Fort Myers, Naples, Leigh Acres, Cape Coral all have sorry excuses for comic shops. Your better off taking the 2 hour drive to either Tampa or Miami/Fort Lauderdale.

Hi...I live in Naples..and there are NO comic shops here anymore... :cry:

 

There was one called "Fat Cats" or something like this...but they did not have any "quality" books in my opinion. They are now a paperback novel and games...type of bookstore.

 

Sorry, I'm not sure about Ft. Myers...but i don't think there are any there either. (shrug)

 

Anyway...I hope you have a great vacation... :headbang:

Fort Myers still has two shops. I guys uses the prices out of wizard for comics and toyfare for action figues. He also charges cover price on 90's drek, unless it is highly looked for book (i.e Spawn #1). :pullhair: and the other owner doesn't have anything remotely key or semi-key. He has back issues, but I wouldn't go unless you are trying to finish a run. He may or may not have anything for you.

 

Now there is a third guy that has a mail order service in Fort Myers. I have never used it. However his info is in the overstreet. I would give you the info, but I can't find my Overstreet.

 

(This is the one that you may be able to fill back issues on)

Thanks for the info...on the Ft. Myers area comic shops!!!!! (thumbs u

 

By the way the guy who you were trying to think of only does mail-order..His name is Samuel Frazer from Ft. Myers. I have spoken with Samuel on several occasions, and he does have a few nice books. He personal likes are Golden Age DC comics, and he does purchase these, but also has other GA as well. I have one of his catalogs. He has been in the business many years, and is an elderly gentleman around 70 yrs. young.

 

His e-mail is; sfrazer457@aol.com and his website is; www.thefunnycomics.com

 

Hope that helps some of the Board members interested. :cool:
