Heroes Comic Book Store, London, Ontario

:: Posted by Bryan @ 7/13/2007 01:51:00 AM
A local article about a new location for Heroes comic book store. The new store takes over a space familiar to book-hunters in the London area, G&A Book Exchange [CORRECTION: Heroes is moving across Dundas street; The Comic Book Collector is locating near the G&A space, located at the corner of Dundas and Rectory.]

Heroes was founded 18 years ago and has been in several locations. Brahm started as an employee and took over the business seven years ago.

Always a comic fanatic, Wiseman was already buying and selling comics when he was studying English and visual arts at the University of Western Ontario. Wiseman said comic books and graphic novels are still a powerhouse in pop culture.

"It's an influential media. We are seeing about 10 comic book movies a year now," he said.

On Monday, the fixtures from the restaurant that used to occupy the building will be auctioned and renovation of the 4,000 square foot space will begin.

With the help of a loan from Mainstreet London, the facade will get a facelift that may include a mural of superheroes. Wiseman hopes to open the new store by the end of October.

I believe you got your comic shops mixed up. Heroes Cards and Comics is based in the Downtown area while G&A Book Exchange is in the old east end of London. The store The Comic Book Collector is relocating in the same block where G&A Book Exchange is and Heroes is going across the street from the current location.
