Favorite Recent Comic Book: Lazarus from Image Comics!

How was your Halloween ComicFest event?  A little lackluster this year with Halloween on a Saturday.  People were doing more partying than reading.

What has been your best promotion or event?  Free Comic Book Day, by a mile…

What recent changes have you made in the store?  I opened a new space in the back of the store as a “20^th century comics” room.

What steps have you taken to expand your customer base or to reach out to individuals unfamiliar with your store or comics in general?  I have been advertising with the local movie theaters; created an Instagram account, Facebook, etc..  I have been participating in local conventions as well.

How did you choose your store name?  I was looking at a book about 1950’s advertising.

What superpower would you most like to have?  The ability to travel through time.  Useful for stocking up on back issues.
