Out here in Winnemucca, we just had a comic shop open.  Before that it was (and
still is) a comic rack at the local grocery store.

Best, MEH

Interesting. Comic shops opened here starting in the biggest cities, then
gradually spread to smaller cities over a decade or two (I recall buying Savage
Tales # 2, Red Nails, while on summer vacation in San Francisco at a small
comics shop. I told this hippy I was collecting Conan and he led me right to the
new ish.).. Still lucky to find a comics shop in a town. Don't know how country
boys get their comics today-- probably have to order through amazon etc. Maybe
WalMart carries them in such settings.

Over here we had them in most of our newsagents , must have been a dozen I used
to cycle to in the 60's. Although comic shops opened up here too we seemed to
lose the monthly Marvels from the spinners mid/late 7o's as Marvel UK started to
catch up with the US issues, DC seemed to give up. Saying that we do have the UK
Marvel and DC reprint titles at the newsagents , about a dozen titles in total
each month - 3 issues per comic , so the casual reader still has a chance to
check them out without "daring" to enter a comic shop and mingle with all the
strange folks they might meet LOL!
