Alan and I were up at 4 am today! Why in the world would two night owls (namely Alan and Marsha), get up so early?  Our local NBC affiliate, channel 12 came out to do a live feed at the store for their 5:30 AM news slot.  Why did channel 12 come out, you ask?  To discuss tonight’s big Marvel 70th Anniversary Bash at All About of course! If you want to see the news clip you can access it HERE (just click on the video titled comic anniversary on the right side of the page).  There is a follow … Continue reading →

And, as usual, we’re packed to the gills with great stock in the store. If you’re not attending the con this year, and you’re just dying to spend your hard earned cash on some books, come in and talk to the Bald One. I’ll be glad to … Continue reading →

Well, is it hot enough outside for everyone? Then come into the store tomorrow for a really cool item. (Gee, how lame is that lead-in?)
