I drove down to Knoxville to get my month's load of 50 cent books and the store was closed! Now I'm depressed! Stupid economy! Why!!!!!!! Seriously this bums me out! It's one of the things I look forward to. Anybody else out there shop at Triad?

I would of thought a place the size of Knoxville be able to support a comic book store. Last time I was there about 10 years ago I remember passing one but I can't remember what it was called.I remember it been painted black. I know it wasn't in old town.

There's another one, I stopped by there, but all they have is new comics which I do read new comics but they cost so much these days. Like 4 bucks for one. I could get a handful of older comics at Triad for that. At least I used to be able to.

I hate it when I find a comic shop closed. It makes me extremely sad As far as the flea market I love finding those guys but my wife hardly ever gives in either. I did find a guy selling marvel tpb for $5 each and was able to buy 4 of the civil war titles about a year and a half ago. __________________ Buy comics from mycomicshop.com

I got some X-men from the 70's once at a flea market for under a buck. I'm thinking 50 cents or less a piece. Got like a couple of the Phoenix Saga and earlier issues. That was a few years back though.

Did you try Collector's Universe in Farragut? __________________ Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by,For you may be the next to die.

The site is still up so far and it's got pics and junk of the place they moved to. http://triadcomics.com/new/default.htm Say, Torpedocomics.com looks like it will come in handy. Thanks for the link Bono!

yeah, just closed in October apparently. I was there just a few weeks ago. I wish somebody would have mentioned it while I was there. I would have came back sooner to buy some more books.

So these past two years I though Triad was closed at the New location also and it wasn't? Damn that pisses me off a bit!

So where have you been getting your books, was it at Collectors Universe? I guess that's the only comic shop left around here.

But all they have is current issues. So if I need back issues I either go to Collectors Universe or a con if one's in town. __________________ Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by,For you may be the next to die.

I'm not sure yet. I might just see if I can afford to get subscriptions to a few titles like Hulk, Captain America, and Superman. I'd like Spider-man but I guess he's still coming out with a book every week. Can't afford that. Or I might just save up till the next con and go crazy shopping then.

You are missing out on some great stuff in Spider-Man. __________________ Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by,For you may be the next to die.

Maybe I'll find like a whole years' worth of Spider-man in a 50 cent box someday.
