Lone Star Comics is a chain of seven stores located in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in north central Texas. Started in 1961 by Jake "Buddy" Saunders as a quaint mail order company, Lone Star Comics debuted as a brick-and-mortar retailer in 1977. The chain's offerings include comic books, action figures, gaming supplies, videos, and many other pop culture items.
While still maintaining business locally, the company returned to its mail order roots in the early 2000s, this time as an online subscription and back-issue service. The online store is called mycomicshop.com (LoneStarComics.com merely redirects to mycomicshop.com).
Famous quotes containing the words lone and/or star:
“Poor is the triumph o’er the timid hare!
Scared from the corn, and now to some lone seat
Retired—”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“The eager fate which carried thee
Took the largest part of me:
For this losing is true dying;
This is lordly man’s down-lying,
This his slow but sure reclining,
Star by star his world resigning.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
