My Comic Shop History

Host Anthony Desiato shines a light on NJ comic shop FAT MOOSE COMICS as it celebrates its milestone 40th year in operation. In Part I, Anthony welcomes his pal and current Moose owner Shawn Hendricks, who took over the store in 2020...just in time for a pandemic. Now, Shawn reflects on his transition from clerk to owner as he prepares to celebrate the shop's 40th anniversary.
