PURE COMIC BOOK STORE LONG ISLAND COMICS As trends go, back issues are out and tchotchkes are in, which is fine until you realize you forgot to buy the issues of Power of Shazam that crossed over into Starman. Go here for near-complete runs of Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, Valiant, Gold Key and more, plus a free search service that can locate most back issues in 24 hours. — Beth Hannan Rimmels FULL-SERVICE COMIC BOOK STORE GRASSHOPPER COMICS Friendly help, a clean, organized store, wide selection and good recommendations will always make a difference. Funky decorations from the giant Alien overlooking the gaming section to cut-outs from Batman: The Animated Series give the shop character. Think of it as the little shop that does. — BHR FOURTH WORLD COMICS Nipping at Grasshopper's tarsus. — BHR SUPER HERO COMICS Great Service and you can find gems in the back-issue bins. — BHR COSMIC COMICS Large selection, good prices. — BHR GAMING STORE FOURTH WORLD COMICS Sure, gamers can buy the latest modules and books by mail order, but nothing's quite the same as being able to scour the shelves and flip through the books yourself, and Fourth World gives you a lot of choices. — BHR MEN AT ARMS The place for strategy games, miniatures and models. — BHR Column © 1998 Long Island Voice.
