own a comic book store

I’d love this!!

I bought a comic book store 6 years ago and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I do what I love and love what I do!

I’m just not sure this is the career for me. Maybe some day I will try it out, but first I’ll try to go to college.

I have just emailed forbidden planet with regards to starting a franchise. Anybody interested let me know.

I have more stuff but I’m jsut getting through all of it to start a major plan of attack.

I found an entry on Marvel’s website in the FAQ sections that redirects you to Diamond Comic Distributors and how you can become a retailer. Just for kicks I looked up Wizards of the Coast to become a retailer for them as well but have not heard back yet.
