    When I was a kid, there were no comic shops anywhere. I used to walk all over downtown Greensboro with the money from my paper route, going from the newsstands to the drugstores and hotels, looking for comics. I used to dream that just around the next corner I would find a store that sold nothing but comics.

    Murphy gave us Eisner's phone number, but we were all afraid to call. I was afraid too, but I figure when you've got a little Southern twang and sound like you're from Mayberry you can do anything. So I called him up and it turned out he was the sweetest guy in the world. He said he'd love to do it.

    We've got a great shop with as wide a selection of new comics and back issues as anyone in the state. But if there's one thing I'm proudest of it's that everyone who has ever worked here loves comics more than anything else in the world. That's a rare thing, but that's what we're all about.

    To have Eisner and Kirby back to back like that just blew everyone's minds, ... From then on, I think that some people we asked thought, 'Well, if Eisner did the convention, and Kirby, why shouldn't we?'
