HeyMoe Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Long time reader, not much of a poster. My family and I will be travelling to the good 'ol USofA between mid-June to mid-July. Las Vegas, Washington, New York, maybe Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo, Erie ( Pennsylvania . We have friends there.) We will be spending the fourth of July in America! (My son's birthday is the 5th!) . And finally Chicago. (I wanted Detroit, but it couldn't be included.:) Why am I posting this? In every city we are staying at, or visiting, I would like to visit the best comic book store in that location. In each store I'm going to buy a Silver Age, a Bronze Age and a Copper Age comic book. (Golden Age if I can find something affordable.) And post our find. (My kids are up for the challenge.) So what are you peoples suggestions? What are the best ones you know of? The ones you would visit in those cities. Lets at it! We are also driving (heaven help us!) from Boston to Buffalo, with a couple of stop overs in between. So if you know of any stops to visit where I'm going to hear banjos or fiddles , that would also be good. Would really like to know where the best places are to visit. Thanks people.

ADAMANTIUM Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm not sure on those area's, as I'm in Dallas, but Awesome that your coming and welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm in the Detroit area, so I could've helped you, but now I can't... Hope you have tons of fun in the States, though. Be careful. Some of those cities have dangerous areas. Maybe not as dangerous as the natural inhabitants of Australia, though. sacentaur and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phicks Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Chicago is WAY better than Detroit. There is a chain in that town called Graham Cracker Comics. They have a location just outside the Modern Art Museum where I picked up some Silver Age books a few years ago. If you have time in Chicago, do the architectural river tour. While you drink on a boat, the host talks about the buildings all around you, how Chicago grew over the years, and how the different buildings fit together. Stop into the Natural History museum; even without paying for entry, you will see in the foyer Sue, the world's largest T Rex. If you go to the Technology Museum, they have an entire WWII German U Boat inside on dry land. It's amazing.

The Beach Boys are my favorite band and I've always loved the part from the song "California Girls": "I been all around this great big worldAnd I seen all kinds of girlsYeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the StatesBack to the cutest girls in the world" That said, I've never seen such a stunning array of beautiful women as when I go to Vegas pool parties. It gets expensive though (the cover and drinks I mean). Robot Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aszumilo Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 For Las Vegas Stores Torpedo Comics - large selection of SA/BA, prices are a bit high. You have to see their Vault. Cosmic Comics - largest store in the city, good selection - prices also a bit high Alternate Reality - closest to the strip, not a large selection of back issues, but, some decent deals can be found there dupont2005 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantalien Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Washington D.C.? I don't know of any good shops there for what you are looking for, though I am sure there is someone here who would disagree with me. You can hop on the metro in D.C. to the Wheaton stop and head on to Barbarian Books. They have Golden - modern there though I am not sure how the prices are. I always remembered them to be fair.
