Movies, video games, graphic novels fuel interest in comics
FEB 13, 2012
By Bart Bishop
Upon entering this comic book store haven, you notice the lived-in look. Adorned with posters, T-shirts, and toys, it can be intimidating at first. There is a method to the madness, however, and half the fun is learning the language of this foreign land. Comics on the right, games on the left, this is a niche shop reminiscent of record stores that still specialize in hi-fi, but the natives are welcoming – in fact, they can't wait to talk off about their passions. This is Borderlands Comics and Games.
Opening in 1984 as Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find, the name was changed in 1995 when Stan Reed became the owner. The store garnered a reputation as arguably the best one-stop shop for comic books and gaming in the Upstate.
