Calvin used to buy comics from that second hand book shop in Wallsend, hidden away in an industrial unit, with the boxes of comics under the book cabinets that you pulled out and rifled through. He made weekly pilgrimages to the array of comic boxes in the old Green Market, sold by that bald geezer, later usurped by Universal Exports, and the bookshop in the Grainger Market. He remembers when Forbidden Planet on Grainger Street used to be chock full of back issues, before Travelling Man ever even existed. He remembers comic marts at St Dominic's in Byker, and the Offworld Comics store in Whitley Bay. He remembers the days when Keel Row Books was untidy, with a stack of magazines you could plunge your hand into and pull out gems like issues of Warrior, or a vintage Superman.
Calvin has spent a lifetime hunting for comics and other trashy publications, and Calvin's Comics wants to bring that genuine box o' comics feeling back just for you!
