Liebowitz, a former CPA who opened the Golden Apple stores in Los Angeles as a weekend hobby, describes his philosophy of making comic shops welcoming, informative meeting places for fans and creators alike. He discusses promotional events (Jack Kirby at the DC 50th Anniversary, Roy Thomas, George Perez, and over a hundred other creator appearances), his policy of discounting independents 20% to build readership early, and his views on the professionalization of comic retailing and the likely emergence of national chain stores.
