Vintage Comics

A new Comic Book Shop opened in the hood, and this mural has appeared on the side of it.

Comics #1

It’s signed – Troy Love Gates …B5M and Thanks Kwest (like the best graf writer … maybe ever) .. Kirk … Simon and the rest disappear behind signage & trash.

Comics #2

Not sure if the Thanks are for helping him paint it, or for their inspiration. The store was closed, so I didn’t go in and ask.

Comics #3

They seem to sell comic books and  comic book toys. I saw lots of neat stuff in the window. I couldn’t tell what might be vintage or a re-pro.
