By request, a little flashback to a 1966 newspaper article about the shop. This story mentions Dad (Walter Bonnett) too, so – early Happy Father's Day!
We've got great Father's Day Gift ideas on hand for all types of Dads!

"10 Cents Worth Of Batman Will Bring You $75 Now" by Tim Bleck, Journal Herald staff Writer.
Look. Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's the price of old comic books.
For the price of a small set of encyclopedias you can purchase the 26-year-old original version -volume I, number one of the adventures of Batman at Bonnett's book store, 502 East Fifth street.
Well, maybe you can. "We don't really want to sell it," said Walter Bonnett, son of proprietor Harold Bonneft.
They have a volume I, number one of "The Complete Story of the Daring Exploits of the One and Only Superman," too. That dates to 1939 and sells for $60. The original Walt Disney comic (1940), with Donald Duck on the cover, is available for $30.
"We've got quite a few $10 ones. That's about as much as most people will go," said Harold Bonnett.
"I've been here over 30 years and built up quite a collection. This comic book collection craze started about 10 years ago, I guess."
When his son returned from the service a year ago, he began exploring his father's gold mine and answering the requests, mostly from out of town, from collectors.
"Right now the hot thing is Marvel Comics" said Harold. "This is the age of super-heroes I guess. And Marvel has them-the Fantastic Four, Thor and Captain America.](https://bookwyrm-social.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/images/status/d872d0e4-7856-4932-a0e6-24f2fd17963a.jpeg "[article text carefully edited for length]

Normally Suicide Squad wouldn't interest me after a couple of mediocre movies and ... that game... but this comic caught my attention because it's written by Nicole Maines, who played trans superhero Dreamer on CW's Supergirl, and these days she writer Dreamer's stories in the main DC comics universe.
And I enjoyed issue 1. Solid. :)
