Tough times for comics trade

Wong took over Comics Mart in 2007 and changed their business concept last year. Aside from selling comics, the outlet also focuses on the gaming segment, including board and trading card games.

IN the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory, the four lead characters Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj are often seen visiting their local comic book store.

They are depicted fumbling through shelves to find the right comics, bickering over the last copy and spending money on these collectables.
