Pretty major deal in Cleveland comics. Great guy; around long enough for both me and my kids to have met him as teenagers!
After 30 + years in the comic biz, James "Jimmy" Williams is retiring & closing Comic Heaven (Willoughby). From Super City Comics (’89-’93) in Downtown Cleveland to shaping generations of readers, he's been a true NEO comic legend. 60% off sale until closing—cheers to retirement!
