Back in the 80's some convenience type stores had some arcade games, magazines and spinner racks. I don't know who was the main magazine distributer out in my area but when they weren't carried there was no trace of them except in the LCS. Didn't distributors complain that it wasn't worth their time to stock comics since they were a relatively low price and odd size compared to magazines? I wonder why comic magazines never caught on?
I'm glad to hear so many suggestions from companies other than the big two.
Have to agree with a lot of the comments on the Titans from the 1990's. I've read a few of them and they should have used a different name since they didn't really feel like the Titans (except for the trademark angst).
Did comics in general hit a low point in the 1990s and then start to improve as we got closer to the 2000's?
