Some Eclipse books received limited newstand distribution in the mid-eighties, so that might be it.<BR/>You do sometimes find odd comics in multi-pack and remainder bookstores over here in the UK too . There are an awful lot of Now, Comico & Continuity comics floating around (I believe all had short newstand distribution deals with DC), and I've even seen issues of Eightball in one remainder store!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-82022878612331833562007-12-13T12:03:00.000-08:002007-12-13T12:03:00.000-08:00Is this Greenville, SC?

Feazell also shows up in GIANT-SIZE MINI-COMICS, and a few other places around that time period.<BR/> On the subject of three-packs: around 1980, when I was first trying to seriously organize my comics, I had no idea where to get comic bags (the nearest source would turn out to be 30 miles away, in Greenville), so my grandfather called a friend of his at the local newsstand distributor. He couldn't help us with what we were hunting for, but he gave me a box of unused Whitman 3-pack bags. There was a little tin storage shed at my grandparents house that I used as a playhouse, so my grandfather helped me install pegboard and gave me the leftover hooks from his old convenience store, and for the next few years, I stored my comics on the wall,sorted alphanumerically, three to a bag.<BR/> Here's a different sort of clearly-illegal 3-pack from the same era at my Flickr page: http://flickr.com/photos/52036516@N00/2059109778/ No idea what part of the country these were sold inDevlin Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358271733393938491noreply@blogger.com
