Yes. I am THAT guy that says ” I know someone who knows someone”, when the time is appropriate to shamelessly namedrop. I have worked in the entertainment industry, interviewing people like Ciara and No Doubt, which of course are cool – but I have mates that own a comic book store and a really really cool one too. So yes. I know them. And that store is mine just as much as it is theirs. In my head anyway.

Central City Comics just opened their doors to the geeks of Gauteng, and the geeks are very happy. From your mainline and commercial comic and graphic book novels to the customised shirts and coffee cups, to the whimsical nature you will find in pencils with eraser capes – the boys from Central City Comics have thought of pretty much anything. So far.

Stephan Lewis and Lee Hermann know what they’re doing. They are themselves really big geeks (which I understand, is a bit of a requirement to own a comic book store) – but they get it, they really get it. I have been to other stores – and without naming names, I do feel like if I don’t spend anything less a grand a visit, I’m a bit of a “skollie”. And I, nor will you, get that feeling when through those doors.

For a chat on the South African Zombie Apocalypse, Geek Culture, and living the Comic Book Store dream…listen to the podcast below:

At the risk of sounding lame instead of witty, I'm going to stick to the basics in this snap bio.
I'm radio broadcaster with an affinity for the geek in all of us. I have been involved in radio for the past 16 years, met some cool people, done some cool things - and this is just another really cool thing to add to the list.
