Fat Jack's

Fat Jack's Comicrypt on 20th and Sansom Street is the oldest running comic book store in Philadelphia. It opened in 1976 and, according to this article in The Philadelphia Inquirer, is struggling to stay in business and desperate for help.

What I like about Fat Jack's is that it's the only comic book store in the area that still maintains a large inventory of back issues. Those back issues are currently on sale for 50% off until the end of January.

There's a GoFundMe page and local cartoonists are helping out at the store on weekends by selling their original artwork to raise funds.

I'll be heading over there for a comics shopping spree.
