1 review for The Great Escape
I didn't even realize Great Escape had a location in Madison until recently. When I went in to check it out, I immediately realized this location easily trumps the one on Broadway. In addition to a decent selection of CDs, movies and vinyl, they also have action figures and posters.
The staff at the Madison Great Escape clearly knows what they're doing. The two dudes I saw working in there today were Led Zeppelin fans with clear penchants for comics. The Pop/Rock CD selection was relatively sizable, but I didn't find anything very impressive. The Country section was also large, but I didn't really check it out. What was surprisingly enormous was the VHS section. They had countless titles, and, probably because of the lack of demand for VHS, they were all extremely cheap.
Great Escape also had loads of comic books and figures. As I've noted before, I don't really read comics like I used to, but I intuited that it was a respectable selection. They also have a few posters, mostly Pink Floyd and TONS of Marilyn Monroe. The whole place smells fiercely of Nag Champa, and they actually sell an enormous variety of incense in the place. Talk about a diverse inventory. This place will keep you occupied for at least an hour or two. I say put it on the list.
