Capitol Comics - Raleigh NC 4/4/13

Post by ncpeacock »

After assisting Lord Vader and his mission for the Empire at Ultimate Comics in Durham during their Free Comic Book Day event on May 4, he dispatched my self and TC8902 to nearby Raleigh and Capitol Comics to continue our mission of conquering the state on this May the 4th Be With You Day and turning more to the dark side. After a brief stop to refuel our transports and rehydrate, we made the short journey (did not even require a jump to light speed) and arrived at our destination. Upon entering, it was a small but very busy shop with many there to partake in the days activities. After informing the shops proprietor that we were there at Lord Vader's request, he grew excited (but we know it was a cover of the fear of our leader) and welcomed us happily. After searching the facility, no Rebels were found (but we did find a large amount of periodicals small statuettes and figures and even photos of familiar faces)so we secured the business by standing guard at the door. Many photos were taken and smiles were seen on all f the faces. While we were small in number, our impact was great and many fans were present by the large number of shirts observed with Lord Vader's image (as well as a few we will not mention.) As business trickled down later in the afternoon, we took our leave knowing the Empire had a strong foothold at Capitol Comics.

I worked for Capital Comics while I was in college at the old Hillsborough St. location. Wish I could have been there for this one. I've known Ken Pleasant (the owner) for a long time.
