What is your favorite place to pick up the latest science fiction books and comics? Tell us a story about your all-time favorite bookstore or comics store, and you could win a box of new scifi novels.

Back in the day, I told you about Borderlands in San Francisco, one of my favorite bookstores. Now it’s your turn. Post a picture, illustration, or screenshot of your favorite store, and include a story about why it lives forever in your heart as “your” store for scifi or comics. (Yes, you may include stores that have closed.)
