store employees across America who sell comics and, like the guys in ‘__High Fidelity__,’ bicker with one another all day long about the true treasures of the discount bin. They are the
__Comic Book Store Clerks of America__, and we salute them._ It may be our world, but when it comes to comic books it’s JIM HANLEY’S UNIVERSE. _[4 W. 33rd Street, New York, NY 10001; (212)

ABRAMS touch with his awesomeness next? _ After seeing ‘STAR TREK,’ I’m halfway willing to have him do ‘STAR WARS.’ You know, since GEORGE LUCAS can’t do it right. - Michelle Castillo
