FPI Blog has a post about Nostalgia And Comics, a comic shop in Birmingham (the real one), which is thirty years old.
Just the name brings back memories. Going into Brum on Saturdays (which involved a bus, a quick shuttle train, and a proper train), heading out the back of New Street, down to Nostalgia And Comics, when the road was still built up high like an over-pass, blocking out all the light. Very cool. So many comics I knew nothing about, searching for old issues of 2000AD... And then over the road to J Pass music to buy some guitar tab books.
Those were the days.
