Subject:  The Great USENet Comix Book Shops List

This is the first version of the Great USENet Comix Book Shops.  It basically
  contains all of the replies that I received from my first round of  
  inquiries.  Thanks to everyone for replying!

The second version should be much bigger and better.  The next version
  will also be organized alphabetically by state.

Are there any more recommendations people wish to make?  Any corrections
  to what is here already?  Anyone want to "second" the recommendations
  already given?  Feel free to reply to bn510@cleveland.freenet.edu

This is version 1.0  October 1, 1992.
