For “More Tales of the Smoke Shop” Check out my website REMWHENSHOP.com

It contains a complete interview with Frank Romito
(owner of Romito’s Smoke Shop)
Frank talks about growing up helping his father at the store and merchandising all the comic books.
I think you’ll really enjoy it.

Thanks for your comments.

Thanks so much for your kind words. We really did have a lot of fun back in the day. Hard for my kids to believe that we survived without cell phones, I pads and computers. The playground I wrote about was in a small town called Bedford,Ohio circa 1959-1964.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

I enjoyed reading this excerpt from TALES OF THE SMOKE SHOP. This is the kind of childhood I was lucky enough to experience too! I’ve added this book to my TBR list.

I have the hard copy of “Tales Of The Smoke Shop” and enjoyed it immensely. In fact I did not put it down until I finished it. The short stories did it’s job putting me in the Silver Age of comics.

P.S. If you have a kindle:
