I do recall three unfortunate incidents during the early 1980s when LCS owners threatened physical harm to customers because, apparently, they felt the customers were too demanding and, thus, bothersome.

I, of course, took such opportunities to keep looking through all the copies of x, y, and z comic books to find the best 2 or 10 (15, 20) copies. Generally, back then, in my experience, LCS owners (and newsstands) did not care if you purchased every copy they had of an issue.

In this photo, the cop on the left is demonstrating how the perp stuffed a copy of Turok 1 down the back of his pants.

Both men were arrested after the incident, but it was not immediately clear what led to the dispute, according to police.
