Women + Comics
Well, it looks like at least some comic store owners are trying to double their clientele. Making guy-dominated places more girl-friendly would seem to me a complete no brainer. It's a business guys. Run it like an ego parlor and you'll run it into the ground.
Side note: Note where the citations come from. Yup, DC, Maryland, New York, Virginia. Another case of a DC bureau having a reporter with nothing to do. I'll bet the NY citation is someone from the NY bureau office. Don't you people ever leave the house?!?
OK, I have NO shame walking into a comic store and getting what I want. Guess what? I'll even ASK if I don't see whats out on the floor I want, I KNOW they have it hidden in the back. Wanna know how I know this. Cause I used to go to a comic shop in NY and had 10 running subscribtions with them for 3 years. Thats how I know. Once the guys realize you are good, no great buisness, you get what you want.
