This will be a very strange new comic book day for me. After going to the same friendly comic book shop for 19 years, I will going somewhere new for comics. Seattle’s Zanadu Comics closed its doors after 42 years last week. I’m still searching for a new comic in the Emerald City like looking for a perfect match on a dating app. Thanks to Perry and the Zanadu crew and may you find success in your next chapters.
