When I first started getting \"into\" comics -- that is seeking them out at a comics store rather than just buying one every now and then off a spinner rack, I usually went to Silver City<\/i> on Knox Abbott, or Ye Olde Comic Shope<\/a> on Meeting Street (with the occasional visit to the one on Devine, the one on Forest Drive near Hardees, or the one on Parklane). Either Acme<\/i> wasn't around at the time (mid 80s) or I missed it somehow. By the time I moved back to town, I was getting comics mostly through a subscription service or I would stop off at Heroes & Dragons<\/i> with its easy access to my I-20 too-ings & fro-ings. In the event, I think I only stopped at Acme Comics<\/i> once, when it was in its Rosewood location, and I can't really recall if I bought anything or not.<\/p>\n

I must admit that I thought they were still on Rosewood, and didn't realize they had moved to West Columbia until I heard that they were closing. That part of State Street is rather interesting and eclectic though I must admit that the antique warehouse is the only one of those shops I hit with any frequency (and that proably no more than 4 or 5 times a year). I would have thought it a good fit for a store like Acme<\/i>, but i guess neither the comic nor the music business is what it was these days.<\/p>\n
