Set Description:


AS2
Somewhat a bygone era where there seemed to be more demand for a bunch of distributions, were newsstands and where people got their information to then spread around town. For some it was with anticipation, some expectancy, some with passiveness, and yes, some with a downright blase attitude! Then one day and for comics specifically, it dried up and was no longer available at all. The common newsstand of other type print can still be found, however, and yet it calls for times of "past reckoning!" What it has currently been recollected and regarded as is, well, the past? For how long?

Finding a gathering of individuals around information such as newsstands could be considered boring unless for nationwide hysteria, but there were the funny pages and the brighter side of things too.

Finding a comfortable place to delve in with reading up on our favorite super-heroes, finds it in an Amazing Spider-man. Whether in passing or from brick and mortars, the eventual fondness of comics has done well. If such for origin material only, we find those big action type pillars of institutions. Now an age gone by, newsstands were fillers of those distributions with longtime standings in the minds and hearts of collectors. It will fill the void now that Local Comic Stores can do more promoting with followers of movies, toys, and yes, an occasional back issue, too! We are comfortable with the options available, but this too may shake up the business that once seemed all too normal. A market built over time and years, yes, let us not forget the newsstands, and from where we originated those memories.
