On the topic of singles in bookstores, I just wanted to add this. I recently went into our new Borders in my town. I was blown away. A spinner rack of singles, and not just TPBs and GNs, but fantastic TPBs and GNs. Will Eisner, Craig Thompson, Strangers In Paradise, Y, The Last Man all with more than one volume, and at least that first time everything had Volume 1. available.
However upon my returning a third time, that spinner rack... I cringe thinking about it. Rows of comics pulled down until they were bent in half... somebody had just gone through and essentially ruined several comics.
I am not picky about my news stand copies, but I would be surprised to have found three that I would have paid for. So, it was no surprise that my next visit, the rack was gone. It is always sad to see what as institution for kids of the 80s and 90s like myself lose that great entrance into the world of comics.

I'm amazed at how much Erik Larsen sounds like "The Dude" from The Big Lebowski.
