For a comic store to make it 40 years seems like nothing short of small miracle.

Which is why we recommend visiting Fantasy Comics at 2595 N. First Ave. and Fantasy Comics North, 6741 N. Thornydale Road, as they celebrate the milestone this Saturday.Β 

According to the Facebook event page:

We will be open 10 am until 6pm, so come down and take advantage of the HUGE savings!
