Another Comic Shop Gets Hits By A Car, In New York

Every now and then someone drives a car into a comic book shop. The latest happened to The Comic Shop, in Oswego, New York.


Every now and then someone drives a car into a comic book shop, with predictable results.

The latest happened around 4pm on Thursday, the 21st of September, as a car drove into The Comic Shop, in Oswego, New York. Everyone but the driver was uninjured, and he regained consciousness as the emergency services arrived.

The store closed, but a structural engineer investigated and determined the building was structurally sound and safe. Even though it might not entirely look it.

The store re-opened the dayafter, with the proviso, "Please note that the bookshelves containing our "Independent / Small Press" Trade Paperbacks and Graphic Novels were knocked over rather violently in the accident. We will be working on getting them reshelved. Thank you for understanding."
