TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3701 - As stated in yesterday's blog... We are back from a Summer Vacation visiting Tina's family in South New Jersey! While there we both took in a tour of a few LCBS (Local Comic Book Shops) in the area, plus the Philadelphia Comic-Con that took place on Sunday, August 19th at the Ramada Philadelphia Airport in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Yesterday's blog, #3700, was the review blog on the Comic-Con. Today's blog is a review blog on the first of the LCBS that we saw in South New Jersey. That would be 'The Comic Station' at 615 Station Avenue, Haddon Heights, NJ. The top middle photo above is myself, at the front of the LCBS. The third photo, (at the top right), are the co-owners of the LCBS, Mike and Scott Kaitz at the sales counter. I found that the location of this LCBS was right across the street from the Haddon Heights Library, and also close to other main buildings in the town. Indeed, 'The Comic Station' was centrally located on the two blocks that comprised the town! The exterior of the LCBS was a little small, but when opening the door, I could see that it was a long rectangular size, and was deeper in depth than I expected! I also found that the front of the shop had the current comics and a good selection of toys. Behind the sales counter to the left, was a door to another room with a lot of backstock of comics! Tina picked up a couple of back issues of 'Fringe' that she had not yet read, while I talked with Scott about the LCBS. Mike was in the far back of the shop, and stopped long enough to also talk with me. Plus he posed for a couple of pics, that I'm sharing here and at the special photo album hosted at my Facebook Fan Page, 'Michael D Hamersky on Comics'. I found that this was a well stocked LCBS, and that those of you near the Haddon Heights area of New Jersey should stop in and check this shop out! My thanks to Scott & Mike for showing me around their LCBS during our trip to South New Jersey! Here is the web site link for 'The Comic Station'. Here is the link to their Facebook fan page for 'The Comic Station'. Plus again, here is the link to the photos of this LCBS at my Facbook Fan Page that I shot during this part of our trip. ~ Michael
