East Village comicbook shop seeing big sales amid Comic Con. Now or Never Comics owner said sales have been three to four times their average.
SAN DIEGO - Aaron Trites opened now or never comics on the corner of 11th Avenue and F Street in East Village back in December 2018.
“And not having that was, you know, a huge negative for us," he said."So to have the show back, this is exactly what I waited for."“Sales every day have been three to four times the average. It’s been terrific. We’ve had more people through the door than any other day that we’ve ever had,” Trites said.“I haven’t picked up my weekly comics yet, so maybe I’ll pick them up here,” Mary Cohen, who’s visiting Comic Con from Los Angeles, said.
“It’s awesome seeing people find books that they’ve been looking for. It’s awesome finding toys that they’ve been hunting for from their childhood,” he said. “And it’s been so fun talking to people from all around the world. You know, talking to folks that are here from Belgium looking for ‘Tin-Tin,’ comic books. A guy from Australia who’s looking for ‘Wild Dog’ comics.”
