Comic Book Media

I want to open a comic book store and I’d like advice from owners on what I need to get this project uner way.

I found a great resource on how to start your own comic bookstore, including where to get distribution agreements to be able to sell DC, Marvel and other comic titles. This site also discusses the discounts you can get from the dealers based on your volume, and other very helpful information.

One of the places where you can purchase your inventory is
Diamond comics Distributor http://retailer.diamondcomics.com/newaccts/customer.htm

For a retail store, you will also need to consider the following:

1. choosing the best location that you can afford
2. getting all the licenses and permits to operate a store (from retail license to fire safety to zoning)
3. buying insurance to protect your business from fire, theft, and other unexpected circumstances
4. choosing the name of your store and your logo
