Episode description

This time around on The Wizard Files we’re interviewing former comic book retailer, Randy who opened his store the same month Wizard hit shelves and has many memories of the magazine’s influence on his customers. Hear which ultra-collectible Marvel books he picked up off the rack as a youth in the 60’s, how the hype over The Death of Superman affected his sales for years after and whether Valiant books were actually as big a deal as Wizard led us to believe in the 90’s. It’s a fascinating view of the 90’s comic book boom from the front lines, so listen now!
