Chicago Boarders! Have need of your expertise

[jason hissong]

There's a spectacular store, which I like a lot better than Tenth Planet (no offense), called Alternate Reality, and it's on 111th Street just East of Kedzie Avenue. Great discounts (no pull list required), great backlog, and a huge selection of comics and related media.

It's very easy to get to from Homewood, too. Just take I-94 to 111th Street and head West.

how accessible is that by the L? Not very, I'm thinking . . .

a lot of my favorite creators swear by Quimby's, and i've always been impressed by the selection on their website

Not at all. It's suburban. Worth the car ride, though. If you're L dependent, you might as well stick with Chicago Comics (Belmont stop on the Red line).

It's a fine store if you want counterculture stuff, but not if someone wants mainstream comics, or to see anyone who smiles.

And if you're into porn, that's a swell place too.

Whenever I'm in the city I always stop by Graham Crackers on Madison, right off of Michigan. Very Nice store.
