Sign, sign, everywhere a sign.
So reader Allan said in response to Monday’s post “hey, how ’bout a link to your comic shop’s website in your sidebar or somethin’, dummy,” which, okay, he was too nice to say it like that, but I would have completely deserved it, especially since it’s how I felt after I read his comment because Allan is totally 100% correct. And thus, there it is, glaring at you from the right side of my website, that very link, gazing into your very soul, overwhelming you, yes, you with guilt that you haven’t bought that Walking Dead #1 from my eBay listings yet.
Also, my storefront sign was installed Tuesday morning…in fact, it was installed before I showed up that morning, and I’d walked in and out the front of the store two or three times before I even bothered to look up and see it was there! But here it is, in all its glory:
That’s a photo I look late Wednesday afternoon. Tuesday I took a picture for Facebook as soon as I realized its presence, but it was close to noon at that point, with the sun shining behind it thusly:
GOD APPROVES OF STERLING SILVER COMICS
Anyway, I still really like that logo. Everyone thank Benjamin Birdie for his great job on it.
Speaking of the Facebook, my Aunt Dee even reviewed my store there, though I’m not sure this counts as a review. Nonetheless, I believe it to be entirely objective and unbiased. No problems with ethics in comics journalism here!
Really enjoying watching your store take shape! Perhaps equal parts sacry and exciting? Best of luck, and thanks for letting us live vicariously through you :)
Looks great Mike! Congrats on both on-site signs!
Neat! You’re a real boy! Godspeed!
I dropped by Ralph’s and used up my credit grabbing some missing EC reprints. It was just kinda weird not having you there. I’m buying a house in Michigan and moving in just a few weeks. I won’t have a mortgage and I’ll have plenty of money left over to fix it up. Life changes. I’m wishing you luck in your new business adventure. I’ll see you again, it’s just gonna be awhile.
Always your pal,
Cully

I’m so dumb I didn’t understand the name of the shop until now. :P I thought it was an unwieldy reference to the Silver age. Best of luck.
