The Difficult Reality of Digest Hunting.

By Dan

There are a lot of moments when hunting for DC Digests that you think you may just have hit pay dirt.  It is not hard to find a stack, or stacks(!) of digests in a thrift or used bookstore, but most of the time you quickly realize that you have stumbled onto a stack of Archies.  No disrespect to Archie lovers out there, but here at DC Digests and Tabloids, we are interested in Superheroes (and DC heroes, at that!).  I recently went into a very good used bookstore in Parry Sound, ON.  It has a large, well-stocked main floor, but the real treat is the dark, dingy, cavernous basement that goes on forever!  It is piled high with boxes of used books!
