Everything about that place is top notch. Plus, Ed is doing a signing there next week. For comics in Pittsburgh you can’t go wrong with Phantom of the Attic in Oakland.

Go there for the basement sale, and submerge yourself in the smell and feel.

Whatever you do, people are like "That's cool, we all mind our own business.."

I haven't lived in Pittsburgh for about 7 years now, but I still rely on their monthly email list to keep me abreast of each month's significant new releases, and still try to order stuff from them rather than Amazon when I can.
