And the sales were decent, depending on the time of year. But I'd always notice new, more expensive prices tagged over the old ones, on the back-issues; before a big sale. \u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EThey did have A LOT of back-issues, though!\u0026nbsp; But never any cheap-boxes...\u0026nbsp; And they moved new comics to the long-boxes too quickly, so they could jack-up the price. \u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ci\u003EAhhh, \u003C\/i\u003E1993: When you could brag about being able to fax stuff!\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EI love how they're hawking \u003Cb\u003ESpider-Man: Mutant Agenda \u003C\/b\u003Eso hard\u003Cb\u003E.\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp; I remember when that came out.\u0026nbsp; Was it really THAT big of a deal?\u0026nbsp; I don't think so.\u0026nbsp; It was a neat concept, but it wasn't even that good.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EIt was a clean, well lit store- with lots of space.

And the prizes were, like- unsold Malibu\/Ultraverse comics... and there was 20% off- but only on back-issues. \u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EI like how they are bragging about how no other store offers service like they do... they were \u003Ci\u003Eliterally \u003C\/i\u003Ethe \u003Ci\u003Eonly \u003C\/i\u003Ecomic shop in the area. In the county. In the surrounding counties! The one I used to go to before them had long since closed (it was a butcher-shop, I've talked about it before in \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VjfswUEefM4\"\u003Evideologs\u003C\/a\u003E).\u0026nbsp; And the one I went to after Thee Keep closed down was a newer shop, years later, and a thirty-five minute drive away. There was \u003Ci\u003Enoting \u003C\/i\u003Eelse. -They were the \u003Ci\u003Eonly \u003C\/i\u003Egame in town for their entire run!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EThis run included filing for bankruptcy \u003Ci\u003ETHREE \u003C\/i\u003Eseparate times and changing the store name (with different relatives or friends listed as the primary owners) to, I can only assume, void their debts and cheat on their taxes.\u0026nbsp; They were originally called Funny Cards \u0026amp; Games Inc.\u0026nbsp; Then: Thee Keep, and then: Reality Recess.\u0026nbsp; They would have going-out-of business sales and close for a month (during which I would panic- \u003Ci\u003E\"Where will I get my comics now!!!\"\u003C\/i\u003E) then they'd just\u0026nbsp; reopen with a new name.\u0026nbsp;At first it would be someone new working there, and then \u003Ci\u003Eeventually\u003C\/i\u003E Susan  would show back up full-time behind the counter, and you'd catch the other two guys in there on occasion. (Once Reality Recess had a Going Out Of Business Sale, closed for a few weeks- and then was just open again one day like it never happened.\u0026nbsp; I remember thinking that was it- they were gone... and one day I was in that shopping plaza with my parents and we saw it looked open, confused- I went in.\u0026nbsp; I remember asking Susan \u003Ci\u003E\"What happened, I thought you guys closed? You had that going out-of-business sale...\" \u003C\/i\u003Eto which she replied: \u003Ci\u003E\"No we didn't.\"\u003C\/i\u003E and smiled and winked at me... I was like: whatever- COMICS!) \u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EThat whole theme-store thing, with a castle motif?\u0026nbsp; \u003Ci\u003ENever \u003C\/i\u003Efucking happened.\u0026nbsp; I never even heard about it!\u0026nbsp; ...and I was in that place weekly.\u0026nbsp; Pretty sure they were just telling The Local Paper stories... The furthest they got is when they were Reality Recess they bought out the eye-glass store next to them in the plaza and connected the two shops with an archway- one side for RPG\/CCG games and the other for comics...\u0026nbsp; I liked the place a lot less as Reality Recess.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EThey eventually tried to branch out- and open a second store about 20 minutes away.\u0026nbsp; Not long after- \u003Cb\u003Ethis \u003C\/b\u003Elocation closed for good\u003Ci\u003E (and for real this time!).\u003C\/i\u003E\u0026nbsp; I went out to the new store, once- years later; after finding out it was even still in business, and it was nothing but AD\u0026amp;D stuff, a small LAN of computers, and a crappy coffee bar.\u0026nbsp; Maybe eight long-boxes under a table... One small table of new books- and only the big titles form Marvel \u0026amp; DC.\u0026nbsp; It was sad.\u0026nbsp; -It went under about a year after that, but not before changing locations to just up the street a bit.\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EThen, one time after that (years later)- I was out at The Mall in that area, which I did not frequent, and there was a comic shop in there- called 'Jim's Comics' or some shit. So, I went in to look around and the books all had price-tags that were from Reality Recess and Thee Keep on them still.\u0026nbsp; It looked like they had rented the spot and just threw a bunch of leftover stock in there at 30% off the price listed, trying to get rid of it and make a quick buck. The store wasn't even put together nice. Everything was just kinda piled against the walls.\u0026nbsp; I'm sure they had written all that merch off as a loss already.\u0026nbsp; Man, they were some shady fuckers...\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003EStill- that was my comic book shoppe!\u0026nbsp; Not my first, or last.\u0026nbsp; But it was the one I went to the longest- for all of my teen years! -During, and after, that 90's comics-boom and eventual bust...\u0026nbsp; In retrospect, if I'm completely honest with myself- it was not the most awesome.\u0026nbsp; -But I'm glad it existed, and was so close!\u0026nbsp; It fed my habit... and I've seen worse stores.\u0026nbsp; At the time- I fucking loved the hell out of that place.\u0026nbsp; Because I fucking love comics!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo what do you think?\u0026nbsp; Feel free to share some of your old Local Comic Shop stories\/memories below!
