Apart from Quality comics who seem to only go back to the late 90's.

Thank's for any help.

Theres E-Bay , flea markets close around you , and antique shops. You can find good cheap back issues there I'm sure. ;)

And for the benefit of Dalukoz, the guy didn't leave because of that. It was just a co-incidence.

Don't tell her that.

Probably 50% of my customers today were women - including a 40-ish school teacher whose first exposure to contemporary comics was via the Scholastic editions of Bone.

I wholeheartedly appreciate the admiration. One more adjective and it would have been creepy. Your hair is...masculine and powerful. Yes i'm the one witht the Spawn/cape/medusa hair. Quite retro.

Closed on Tuesdays huh? My free period at the end of the day and your closed. But its ok!! Hey do we know when CW TPB's r coming out?

PS like my comic book slang?

You see this? That's commitment to customer service right there folks. If this man doesn't know he will find out for his customers. It brings a tear to the eye of someone who, like me, has spent years looking for a fulfilling comics store.

It's all right here, folks!

The Comic Box, Atwell Arcade, Fremantle.

Because you're worth it ;)

Ahh to be involved...lol, did you know my Great Great Great Grandfather built Atwell Arcade?! My mum told me that yesterday!!!
Yeah, I agree...Beavs does have rather shagadelic hair...would you tap that?!:p I kid...
And is it really that rare for a girl to loiter in comic book shops?...I mean...WAIT!!! I remember! Tripod has a song called "Hot girl in the comic shop"....Great song...

Cheerio!

Am I the only girl girl (I meant to say that twice) that frequents your shop and sits on your wobbly chair?!
If I am...Then I feel pretty damn cool!
Seriously...My claim to fame - I am The Comic Box Girl...

Please tell me I'm special...:( Please?

Well, you are the only one who gets to sit in the chair.

There is a Danish (perhaps?) girl called Sasha that comes in and hangs around a bit too.

There are a few others that are semi-regular.

Incognita

02-13-2007, 05:29 AM

hmm...Would you be able to give me the details of these so called "regulars..."? I may pay them a visit...Have a cup of "tea"...Nah lol, I'll just have to try harder to be the coolest comic box girl!
You should get some music in your store...You have a media player on your computer right? I suggest bringing in some cd's and spiffing up the place..Then you can drown out the lolly shop people and any random screaming children...

Ok that last part sounded incredibly suss!

02-13-2007, 05:57 AM

Danish girl.

dingo

02-13-2007, 06:01 AM

Danish girl.

I'm not making this up.

She likes X-23, New X-men, Runaways and Gen 13.

Possibly long walks on the beach and Pina Colada's

Incognita

02-14-2007, 03:50 AM

HA! well I don't like long walks on the beach...If I want exercise, I go do kung fu(it's hardkore...none of that beach walk crap!) or I run up and down the stairs in my house until I fall over or pass out...
And I'm not fussy, I'll get drunk on mostly anything! and I like beer...
Plus I'm not Danish...I think I get points for that.

Instead of music for the shop how about free beer for anyone who spends $5 or more,just a thought.

Incognita

02-15-2007, 03:47 AM

Haha, yeah but I still reckon you should play some music...maybe some slap bass (kidding)...And you need to get a couch, booze ain't a bad idea but you should really buy an xbox 360 or something so we can sit on the couch playing games like dead rising or gears of war...

just a few ideas...And if you feel like it, maybe a yacht...:D

I wouldn't say smashed at all. At the time I didn't notice anything, but looking back I suppose you could have been tipsy. Nothing more than that though.

If you feel sick now, make sure you drink lots of water, or you'll be sorry in the morning. ;)

Haha, yeah it probably was wearing off by the time I came to the Comic Box...Although there have been many times where I've had to hide the fact that I've been drinking, nearly all the times I drink I have to hide it...lol

And also, surprising enough, I wasn't really that bad at all today...Well definently not as bad as yesterday...
