LITG six years ago, closing comic book stores

I would not have been surprised by hundreds of comic book stores having closed. That, five years ago, five had chosen to, was very sad, but it was good news that it was comparatively so few, and not the start of a flood of closures.

Happy Birthday Neal Adams - The Daily LITG 15th June 2020.
