The first black-owned comic book store on the East Coast is owned and managed by a black woman named Ariell Johnson!!!
(In an interview with Philly.com) "We will be a legit store, so expect to see the heavy hitters that we all know and love,“ she said. “But in addition to those usual suspects, we want to showcase diverse comics, creators, and characters. We think that comics are for everyone and anyone that loves comics-women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community.”
Congratulations to her and if you’re in the Philly area or plan on visiting, stop by Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse!!!
I used to work with her. The coffee shop is awesome.
