We’d like to make a brief mention of this week’s Casanova: Gula #2. Not only will you get a story from the always entertaining team of Matt Fraction and Fabio Moon, but there’s a six page interview in the back of the book between Fraction and series letterer Dustin Harbin.  Most of you probably remember that both Fraction and Harbin spent time working for Heroes, and both made great contributions to the store and HeroesCon.  The interview kind of reads like a behind the scenes of our store, and is very typical of the way Matt and Dharb behaved in their Heroes days.  Be forewarned, we promote this interview with an expletive advisory, as the conversation is uncensored.  If you don’t mind salty language, check out this interview with two of our favorite alums!  Here’s a brief excerpt from our old friend Dharbin, in which he sheds some light on the life of comics retailing:

DH: If there’s anything working in a comics shop– and one of the great shops of North America at that– has taught me, it’s that you have to be bananas to run a comics shop.  Shelton (Drum) certainly is– I’ve worked with that dude through some highs and lows, whoa Nellie, and he is nothing if not slavishly devoted to comics.  I think most people who run comics shops, good or bad, have that hell-or-high-water approach to things.  In Shelton’s case, it makes his shop one of the best in the country, and HeroesCon one of the best-regarded comics conventions around.
