Your LCS

I just looking at my Local Comic Shop's myspace page and noticed that:
A) He has a pretty big Green Lantern fetish.
B) He has pics up.

Does your LCS have a myspace/website?
Kinda curious to see where everyone else buy their comics.

Mine did. I designed it, in fact. But the shop is kaput now. There's one in the same city, but the guy's a dickhead scalper, so I order TPB's off amazon.com.

could be better, but it's been worse. they used to have an online store of trades but took it offline after realizing they were making everyone else money but themselves.

I would post a link to my local comic book store's website if I hadn't burned the fucking place down and tracked down their websites host and pissed on the server.

This is still the store I call "my" comic store, even though I haven't been a member there in over 8 years. The write-up by the original owner, Eddie Smet, is of interest to me as he's the one that sold me many of my key X-Men issues in a big lump - right out of his collection. The 2nd owner and I had lots of fun over the time I was back into comics and still living in London.

I've been a member at 3 places since, I'll try to link to them all....

When I first moved to Prince Rupert, my comics were an hour and a half away at this place. Gerry was very understanding, and let me run my account up for months (literally) before I paid and picked up. I think I owed him $600 for comics at one point.... (sorry again, man). :oops:

In moving to Nanaimo, I found this place (it was the only game in town - but at least it was IN TOWN!!!!):

They also have a huge and beautiful store in the Comic Capital of Western Canada - Victoria, BC.

Here's my current place - not much of a website. Nice owner though:
