Support Your Local Comic Shops

Comic book store owners are being hit hard by the economic crisis. More and more are having to close their doors as less and less people can afford the luxary of comic books. As if thats not bad enough, graphic novel collections are becoming a bigger market than there paperbound counterparts. And those are available at your popular book store chains such as Barnes and Noble and Borders. The comic store I used to go to every Wednsday, Galaxy Comics in Daly City, closed down a few years back. The business wasn't as boomin as it should've been and rent rates got too high. That is why it's of the upmost importance to support your local comic book stores for your comics, toys and especially graphic novel purchases.

Both titled Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, one sits in Los Angeles and the Other sits in New Jersey. For more details on that visit their website at http://jayandsilentbob.com/.
