Comic Book Talk

I get most of my comics from them. Every now and then, I'll drive to And Books Too in Lafayette. On rare occasions, I'll hit Excalibur in Shreveport or Louisiana Double Play in Baton Rouge.

I really kinda hate Double Play. I bypass it to go to Metairie because of how they jack up their prices on some stuff.

Chuck Rozanski has been gouging people on comics prices for over four decades. And as bad as their online/warehouse prices are, the stories of him jacking up prices on old books at conventions are legendary. He gets away with it because no one else has the kind of catalog of back issues he does and he's been in the game longer than anybody, but still. It's ridiculous. That said, I have always wanted to visit the actual physical Mile High location in Colorado. Being in what amounts to a giant warehouse of comic books would be awesome, even if I'm not paying Rozanski's prices for most of them.



I will forever be enamored of that life size Silver Surfer they have in the front of the store.

Agreed on Mile High. Even though I'm starting to hate everything San Diego CC is becoming, I had zero sympathy for him when he said he was pulling out from attending. What he charges for stuff on that crappy website of his ought to be criminal.

I might have to take a drive to Lafayette to check out And Books Too.
