It’s always great to hear from a former local. I know that Classic Movie & Comic Center was the first “comic book shop” I ever shopped at. Do you also remember Jerry’s Used Book Store across the back parking lot from it? I think I bought quite a number of the Jack Kirby 4th World series at that bookstore for maybe 75 cents or a dollar each tops. Cheaper that at Classic anyway. That’s where I fist met Andy, as well.

That book holds one of my most vivid comic-book memories. That was the year I began collecting comics on a regular basis (meaning whenever I could find the next issue at my local drug store as it was another year or so until I discovered Classic Movie & Comic Center. in Farmington.)

Still remember getting it and opening up that giant cover. Compared to my kid hands, it was massive! The characters just came alive for me. And that back cover was both hilarious and wild to me! (The gag had been used before of course but it was a first for my young peeps.)

I picked up the next two of course, but nothing compares to your first.

Thanks for rekindling a great, great memory.

Best,
Mike
