What was the names of your old Comic Book store haunts ?

From the late 70s to mid-80s I would go to the Batcave in Bayshore, NY. They got into a little legal entanglement over the name and temporarily became Comic Heaven, the owner was brothers with the owner of California's Comic Heaven store. It became the Batcave again and eventually Long Island Comics but I stopped going there long before that. I heard that Frank moved the store to Babylon in the 90s.

I also used to venture to Heroes World in the Nassau Mall, Hempstead, NY.

Those were it for me other than 7-11 and local flea markets.

Charlie's Collector's Corner in Hummelstown, PA -
Eventually he moved his store from a location just off the town square to a row of storage units less than a quarter mile away. No sign out front, only open 3 days a week for a few hours. He spent some more years of selling cards & comics to the couple people that knew where he was. Every time I'd stopped there over a couple months the place was dark, so I guess he finally closed up shop.

Capital City Comics in Lemoyne, PA

Cap's Comic Cavalcade in Allentown PA

I first heard about Cap's when I lived on Long Island. They used to sponsor "Star Trek" (TOS) on a cable channel that aired 3 uncut episodes back-to-back-to-back on Saturday nights. I actually started shopping at Cap's in 2000. I recall that they moved a couple of years later and then closed shop. They used to have great sales on Saturdays, sometimes as high as 80% off past issues. The only problem was that they covered the bins with boards so gamers could play Warhammer. Whenever I made the drive to Cap's I would also stop at Dreamscape Comics in Bethlehem.

7-11 .
Seriously... in the mid to late 80's,.. when I lived in Nebraska,.. I used to get all of my Comics there. But I only Read Batman, Detective, Action Comics, Teen Titans & Uncanny X-men at the Time,.. with the Yrly Annuals. 7-11 Always had them, every Month.

No 7-11 here,.. carries Comics,.. nore has since the eairly 90's.

I also used to shop at the Spider's Web in Puyallup.
At 1st,.. the Store was co-Owned by Todd McFarlane, & was his Brother-in-Law's store.
The store closed up shop around 2001,.. or so, give or take a yr or so. Kim Now has an Online store,.. where he only sells McFarlane Toys.

I just got another flash of nostalgia.

I was never really into comic books, but I would often go to my local comic shops looking for peripheral items -- such as action figures, books, games and other collectibles.

Today, they're all long gone.

They stood proudly thoughout the mid 70's into the 80 .... but unfortunately every single one of them succumbed in the mid to late 90's
