Remember when I said that some Comic Book stores looked like a dork's basement blew up.....well this is it.  ( and i mean it in a nice way.)

It seems Velvet Underground has always been around....it's first incarnation was in a warehouse space over near the Fantastik Indoor Swap Meet. (and that little garage was way cool.)

The newer space is tucked in a corner in a strip mall behind a Dojo and a Gay Bar.  Such flavor.

The owner (Steve) who will most likely ask you to call him the Riddler, is pretty AWESOME in that "I have a really weird uncle who likes comics" type way. There is sooooo much cool collector junk in this place!  It's like going to a antique store that specializes in toys and comics.  The Riddler has a little bit of everything.  (new and old)  And he's got his drums set up in the back....I've never seen him play them before, but how rad would it be to see a comic book store garage band hit it on the weekends.  I'd be there, oh yes, I'd be there.  But only if they're called "the Frodo's" or maybe "Jean Grey is Dead."
