Do you recall buying comics on comic spinner racks?
What were the titles you got?
Where were the racks located?


 My first comics were purchased for me by my grandfather from the racks in a little shop called Rhoades Newsstand. Rhoades opened April 16, 1961 (from a personal conversation with Mrs. Rhoades in August 2014) while this first comic book purchase was in the mid-1970s.

When Mrs. Rhoades decided it was time to close the store in 2014, I had the great opportunity to give both racks a home. As these were the racks from my childhood there was no question.
