Wired profiles comics shop employees

Wired magazine has a pictorial and interview feature on “Secret Lives of Comics Store Employees” — where we get a look at the shops themselves and some of the people who work there. It’s the kind of feature we wouldn’t have seen a decade ago, when more stories tended to depict comics shops as outside the retail mainstream. It’s also a good reminder that, as many people who work behind the scenes to put comics out, retail has, for years, accounted for the largest share of comics industry jobs.
