My Comic Shop History

A Podcast from the Director of My Comic Shop Country

Author: Flat Squirrel Productions

For nearly a decade, host Anthony Desiato explored the culture, business, and fandom of the comics retail industry on this podcast series. In 2015, New Yorks Alternate Realities closed after 23 years in operation, a community united to say farewell, and a podcast was born. The series continued with deep dives into collecting, national comics retail, conventions, Westchester Countys lost shops, and more. The show signed off for good in 2023 with a quarterly farewell event entitled For All Seasons but the AR community lasts forever.
