Public Image
The shop has been featured in many film projects, including "Weird Al" Yankovic's "White & Nerdy" video and—perhaps most prominently—in the movie Free Enterprise (1998) in which Sharon Liebowitz played herself. Blair Butler, G4TV's resident comic expert, often hosts her segment of Attack of the Show, called "Fresh Ink", at the Golden Apple. It was also featured in an episode of the short-lived NBC crime drama Raines, in which an up and coming comic artist who frequented Golden Apple Comics was murdered.
Golden Apple regularly hosts celebrity guests such as Stan Lee, Frank Miller, Marc Silvestri and George A. Romero, and has been frequented by famous patrons such as Michael Jackson and Michael Boatman. DC Comics vice president Bob Wayne called Golden Apple Comics "one of the most important comic book stores in the world".

“The lyricism of marginality may find inspiration in the image of the “outlaw,” the great social nomad, who prowls on the confines of a docile, frightened order.”
