From: AP's Matt <[a--ta--c] at [texas.net]> Newsgroups: rec.arts.comics.alternative,rec.arts.comics.misc Subject: INFO: Indy Comic Stores - CA/AZ/TX/NM/NV Date: 5 Sep 1995 20:49:02 GMT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The following is a list of 112 comic book stores that I would recommend to buy independent/alternative comic books. This is a list of stores from the following states: California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. Out of the 112 stores, I've visited 70 of them in the past year. This list is by no means complete - there are plenty of good stores out there that I do not know about. If anyone has any additions or corrections to make to this list, or if you know of an comic store you feel deserves recognition, please post it here or email [a--ta--c] at [texas.net] Thanks!
