BW’s Daily Video> Comic Stores Versus Walmart

Catch more from Comics By Perch

I first saw comics regularly at a local drug store when I was a kid. I bought comics from convenience stores, a smoke shop (and I don’t even smoke), grocery stores…all when they had newsracks and before comics eventually started going to a local comic store when those options started to dry up. I even picked up three packs of unsold comics at Sears, which is where I got the first three comics I owned, given to me as a gift by someone who knew I liked superhero shows, and was my introduction to this media. The fact that I can’t find them anymore except for one type of store but can still find books and DVDs/Blu-Rays in other stores means comics have lost an important outlet to stay in public consciousness. That’s what’s disappointing here.
