The Ultimate Comic Shop Map!

You gotta see this!

http://www.wackyhijinx.com/maps/cbia

Dan Shahin from Hijinx Comics in San Jose put together a very cool Google map just for comic book stores.

The idea for this map gestated in the Comic Book Industry Alliance forum on the Delphi network (if you're a comics retailer, you really need to be in this forum. Get the scoop at http://www.theCBIA.com).

More soon!

Peace 'n' Comics!
