Man, I live about an hour away from Wilmington and have never been there. Is it sweet?!
It's not that big but they keep a good stock and the guy that runs it knows his books and makes great recommendations once he knows what you like.
The best store I've been to is Atomic Comics in Johnson City. It's huge, has just about any book you are looking for and is ran by one of the most friendly guys you could ever meet. I've spent hours there just hanging out talking comics.
Dang I might try to hit that up next time I go up to Knoxville.

He's a great guy. I hope he's doing well. I haven't been there to see him since I moved down here to NC six years ago.
When I was 10-12 in the early 80's, there was an antique store in downtown Kingsport run by an nice, older gentleman. He had stacks and stacks of Silver and Bronze age comics that I would sit and rummage through. I ended up buying several Avengers comics from the 60's (the oldest being #8). He had more Fantastic Four than anything, and I remember sitting there reading FF #48 (first appearance Silver Surfer), but choosing not to buy it. Still kicking myself over that one.
Still have all those old Avengers, too. I'll post some pics later if I can remember.
I was big into them back in the 90's. I have a folder full of superman dies comics, 1st avengers, a couple first uncanny xmen, Roy Rogers from the 50's, fantastic for from the 60's and others. I'd like to know what they are worth......who could I take them too?
