I want to know the answer to the following question:
What new retail outlet came on board at the end of the 1970s to rival newsstands for comic sales?
All the background I'm provided with is that "But by the end of the decade, Marvel's fortunes were reviving, thanks to the rise of direct market distribution—selling through those same comics-specialty stores instead of newsstands.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
