New Books for 6/11/08

Store News:

• A man recently came in with his family and looked around the shop for a while. Pretty much nothing out of the ordinary there. The Dad and I talked shop, while his little boy and girl looked around. Then, out of the blue his teenage daughter says, "Aren't there any REAL books here?" to which the father responded with a sigh AND THEN LOOKED AT ME TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. He looked to me to discipline his daughters insolence. So I looked at her and said, "This is a book store like any other. Could you please apologize. I think you hurt my feelings." This was all said in a very adorable way, earning the appropriate, "sorry" from the teenage girl. Then they were off.

Now this isn't the first time this has happened in the stores, and quite frankly I don't really care, but like the incident with the Persian Lock Smith, why would someone say such a thing while I am sitting right there? Why would someone be so intentionally rude. Have they, in a past life been belittled by a comic store owner and therefore come to our to store to have revenge. Did they search the entire nation to find Fantom Comics, the one comic shop that prefers to run itself like a bookstore instead of mom's basement, and then rip on us. I would hope not. But then again, I love these people. Because this is who I'm trying to convert. To show them that there are amazing stories being told in comics, and you know what, often times I'm successful.
