I owned a comic book store from 1984 to 2007, when I finally left to pursue another career, and the similarities are uncanny. This brings back so many memories! I feel like you took me back home for a while. Thank you!
I agree 100% with Jason Williams! he turned me onto this doc and in the first 30 seconds I knew that this was going to be a Doc about MY PEOPLE. Jeff Wong is a epic story that must be told, and a graphic novel would be a cult classic among fans like us. I requested Steve Oto to be my friend on Facebook....but it was a Wednesday, so I am sure I have been blacklisted. once again thanks for making this!
EVERY comic shop has their version of Jeff Hwuang...the guy you see coming and think "Oh here we go..." and yet there's the part of you that's also excited because you know you're in for a trip. But I'm pretty sure there's only ONE Jeff Hwuang. The others are cheap knock-offs. I'm HIGHLY enjoying this. Thank you so much.
Ha! Jeff is a character for sure. Thanks for watching & for your note. Glad you enjoyed! If you haven’t seen the new movie (My Comic Shop Country) yet, I hope you’ll check it out! It’s on Amazon, Apple, and Curiosity Stream.
@@AnthonyDesiato Oh I totally will. Anthony, you did an awesome job. I loved it and will def. check out more. Please feel free to add me on FB. Max O. Miller. I'm also into making films and clearly into comics. Would love to chat sometime.
Better late than never! Glad you enjoyed. For more AR, be sure to check out the My Comic Shop History podcast and my new film (My Comic Shop Country) on Amazon or iTunes. Cheers!
I'm really enjoying this documentary. Loved hearing from all the disengaged partners lol. I'm into comics more than the average person, that being said, I have a relatively small collection that's easily packed away into a cupboard. I used to feel the need to display my collections (I used to have an unhealthy interest in transformers), but I'm in a much happier place where I'm able to enjoy things without having to buy it all. I'll read stories online for free while still having the books that really mean something to me sentimentally - such as all the spiderman comics I began buying from my local newsagent in 1996 and 1997. People rag on John Romita jr and sr, but I have such fond memories of those comics. I'll throw my two cents in here: if your wife is telling you, you spend too much, you should at least have a mature conversation about finances as a couple. By joking about it and saying you're not drinking, gambling or smoking diminishes the impact that addictive spending has on people's lives. If it got so bad that negative consequences were a result, ie. Unhappy family life, negative moods because "you couldn't fit in enough comic reading hours" each month etc, then this "harmless" activity is now a harmful addiction. Thanks again for creating this doco. Really interesting take on this special interest group.
Really enjoyed the documentary. Just a gem. Jeff Wong is my favorite part. His lies are epic and he may be telling the truth. Hahaha! Just fantastic. Thanks for making the film. It took me back to my days at my favorite comic shops.
Watched this twice now which is something I rarely do with documentaries. Have to applaud this man , both as a comic book fan and a film student really well put together and really captures the culture of places like this. Leaves me wishing this store was in my neighbourhood :)
Wow. This is SO much like my life story from the past 32 years, it blows my mind!! LOL My oldest son commented on my FB page, where I shared this, that SKO is the Asian (version of) me. I own Comic World in Largo, Florida. I started out part time for store credit in August 1982, on payroll October 1982, became full time in December 1982, and bought the shop ten years later in December 1992. And I'm still here ... kicking, though alive is questionable. ;-) Congrats on this incredible documentary that I so VERY much identified with, and appreciate. I laughed, applauded throughout, and seriously made my (2nd) wife raise an eyebrow a couple of times in my direction. She runs the store with me. (My 1st marriage was somewhat a casualty of the store -- she hated the place -- but I met my 2nd wife *through* the store, so I lucked out!) Steve, I'm sure you'll see this: we had our own customer with 'Tall Tales', who claimed to have invented the character Nova. He said Stan Lee personally came to his house and paid him off in the 1970's because Marvel stole the character from him. The guy who ran the shop with me, this was before I bought it, christened this guy "Nova Man". Nova Man would go on to tell us how he had guarded the alien bodies under the Pentagon, how he'd been a US Navy Seal, how he'd been in the movie "The Final Countdown" as a karate instructor (because he could kill men with two blows), and that he had directed Leonard Nimoy off-Broadway. Good times! LOL God bless you guys, every one of you! May all of you, and Alternate Realities -- cliché as it may sound -- live long and prosper, from one comic shop to another!! Fantastic!! Thank you, Anthony, and everyone at Alternate Realities!!
Patrick, thank you very much for your note! I'm glad you enjoyed the documentary and found it so relatable. Sounds like your journey has been similar to Steve's, right down to your very own Jeff Hwang! I'll be sure to share this with Steve. Thanks again! I really appreciate the kind words.
Thanks! Couldn't agree more about Jay. You may have already seen this, but if not, here's the trailer for my forthcoming spinoff about the man: By Spoon! The Jay Meisel Story TRAILER II
This needs way more views. I'm surprised by how well done it is and how each person seemed to genuine and relatable. Grade A documentary in my book. You should be proud of this achievement.
No hesitation me clicking to watch this once. Great Doc & took me way back to the great days of hitting the LCS to pick up books & mingle with other readers//collectors...
Cap'n Mo Not sure if I'll ever do a direct sequel--unless Steve ever really does close/sell the store--but there is a spinoff coming soon: By Spoon! The Jay Meisel Story TRAILER II.
This was so interesting and fun to watch!! What a great doc you made!! You should be so proud of yourself :) Truly captured the essence of the shop and it's people!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words. Hope you get a chance to check out the follow-up film! www.amazon.com/Comic-Shop-Country-Jermaine-Exum/dp/B085GJXDST
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. If you’re interested in the rest of the story, my new doc MY COMIC SHOP COUNTRY is on Amazon, Apple, and Curiosity Stream. I also have three podcasts (My Comic Shop History, Digging for Kryptonite, and My Comic Shop Book Club). Hope you enjoy if you get chance to check out any of that stuff!
Great little film! Four years into comics as an adult, this very same culture has become a thing of my own life- rare are the places we comics folk can come together, and it's reassuring to see others across the land that share the same interests
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I'm a big fan of the Stash (both on the show and in person, though I've only been there a couple of times), so it's really a thrill to know that someone from that world saw & enjoyed the movie. If it's ever possible to collaborate with you guys in any way, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Just wanted to throw that out there. Thanks again!
This documentary is really great! Very heart-warming and it got me hooked till the end. I got emotional at times and it kinda encourages you to think about life(at least in my case). Well done!
Loved it, Seeing as I spent my middle school years there browsing and buying Magic cards it was of great nostalgia to see this made. I also went there last week with some friends to reconnect with that HS side of me, will definitely get back into collecting!
my 1st comics. found a whole box full of x men x factor cable wolverine etc at the dump. at first it was i just enjoyed copying the art but then the story and the character's got me and that was me hooked
@@AnthonyDesiato I listened to it yesterday, was so crazy hearing Chris on your show. I was there the night he caught on fire in the lot. Also I know who did Garry’s car dirty lol. I could tell you stories for days about that place, I met my wife there lol.
Better late than never! Glad you enjoyed. For more, please check out my new doc (www.amazon.com/Comic-Shop-Country-Jermaine-Exum/dp/B085GJXDST) and the My Comic Shop History podcast. Cheers!
cool story and very well edited. some bits that were clunk but less than 5 by my opinion. this was great. i'm glad you got to capture this moment in all your lives. you did a great job at translating the feeling as well as could be. can't say it enough. i can't wait to see more of what you make. :)
I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for checking out the doc and for the kind words. if you're interested in what comes next, here's the spinoff trailer: By Spoon! The Jay Meisel Story TRAILER II.
In 1972, a one man crack commando was sent to prison by a military court for a crime he didn't commit. This man promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Scarsdale underground. Today, still wanted by the government he survives as a soldier of fortune and Archie comic reader. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him....maybe you can hire Jeff Hwang...
Thanks so much! Have you seen my new doc, My Comic Shop Country? It’s on Amazon, Apple, and Curiosity Stream. There’s also the My Comic Shop History podcast you might enjoy.
I really enjoyed this documentary! Very well done! I even had my fiance watch it too so I could show her I'm not alone in my hobby LOL! Thanks for posting it and I will def spread the word for others to check it out too! Cheers!
Maybe you can make them! If not, I'm glad you got to live through the folks in the doc for a little while. Thanks for checking out the movie and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated!
This was really well made man! And this was really cool for me because I live a couple of towns away from Scarsdale. I just wish we had a good comic book store :( but hey maybe I'll drop in Alternate Realities if I get the chance!
Anthony Desiato That's awesome! I've seen all trailers for everything coming up, I can't wait for the doc about Mr. Meisel! Seems like a great guy. Say hi to Steve for me!
Thanks, much appreciated! I have two more docs here on my channel, and my new film (My Comic Shop Country) is out now on Amazon/Apple/Curiosity Stream. Hope you get a chance to check ‘em out.
nice work man, was great to watch. I want to hang out with that old timer Jay all fuckin day long! That chapter had me in tears I was laughing so hard. Love that guy!
Thank you, sir! I'm glad you enjoyed the Jay chapter. He's definitely a highlight of the film for me as well. (I saw you discovered the By Spoon! trailer--thanks for checking that out too.)
This video has given me focus. I do plan on opening a cb store in the next year or two, and I hope to be as successful as you have been. And have as much fun
This is awesome. Very hard to find comic book shops here in Kenya. Lots of book shops and libraries but very few comic book stores if any and very hard to find.
Great job on this documentary. Its a good eye opener for those who decide to buy digital copies over the real McCoy and miss opportunities to make new friends :)
Thanks so much! Hope you get a chance to check out the NEW movie, which includes the final fate of Alternate Realities: www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B085GJXDST/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r
So great! Well done documentary! If i'm ever in Scarsdale there is one place i'm sure to stop. What Camera or Camera's did you use? Terrific terrific work - I certainly hope this won't be your last film!
Thank you very much--that really means a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed the doc, and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I shot the movie on a Canon HV40. Here's my site if you're interested in checking out my upcoming films: www.flatsquirrelproductions.com. Cheers!
Will there be a "10 years later"? :) This documentary appeared on my favourite torrent website and I tried to download for 7 days straight but I was stuck at 90.1% endlessly. And now that I found it and watched it, I want more!!! Love from a Comic book lover from Switzerland!
Anthony Desiato OH! YES!! That would be epic. I would love to see that. At the least, we need his adventures depicted in a web comic. I can help you promote it! The first 25 pages could be the 25 kills he's had in the line of duty! Hahaha!!
I owned a comic book store from 1984 to 2007, when I finally left to pursue another career, and the similarities are uncanny. This brings back so many memories! I feel like you took me back home for a while. Thank you!
Thank YOU! I'm glad you enjoyed it & that if brought back those memories.
I agree 100% with Jason Williams! he turned me onto this doc and in the first 30 seconds I knew that this was going to be a Doc about MY PEOPLE. Jeff Wong is a epic story that must be told, and a graphic novel would be a cult classic among fans like us. I requested Steve Oto to be my friend on Facebook....but it was a Wednesday, so I am sure I have been blacklisted. once again thanks for making this!
Thanks, Dan! Glad you enjoyed the doc. Further Jeff adventures are definitely something I'd consider pursuing. Cheers!

How the hell did I just find out about this??? Jeff Hwuang is LEGENDARY!!!!
Better late than never! Glad you enjoyed. For more AR, be sure to check out the My Comic Shop History podcast and my new film (My Comic Shop Country) on Amazon or iTunes. Cheers!
the chubby firefighter kid is hysterical, best part

Thanks again for creating this doco. Really interesting take on this special interest group.
Its not just a comic book, its a piece of a puzzle that when assembled can build an entire multiverse.
So accurate that every local comic shop has a Jeff Wong somewhere. XD

Hey Pat thanks for sharing. The only thing really missing is getting a bunch of the regulars together for dinner.
True. But we have had small groups simply hanging out here at the shop talking for a long time after hours. Minus the food, it's sorta similar. LOL
Just watched this again. This guy Jay is pure gold could watch him talk all day.
Thanks! Couldn't agree more about Jay. You may have already seen this, but if not, here's the trailer for my forthcoming spinoff about the man: By Spoon! The Jay Meisel Story TRAILER II

I have a shop in my town that is exactly like this place and I love it. Great documentary!
Thanks! I'm glad you identified with the film.
Very cool doc! Well edited and easy to fall right into. Good job sir!
Thank you very much--I appreciate it!
I've loved this place for such a long time. I hope it stays in business forever. Great stories. Thanks
I hope so too. Thanks for checking out the doc!
Goes out of business a year after the documentary.
No hesitation me clicking to watch this once. Great Doc & took me way back to the great days of hitting the LCS to pick up books & mingle with other readers//collectors...
Crackin' job. I highly enjoyed this.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
No, thank you. Maybe a follow up documentary in a few years?
Cap'n Mo Not sure if I'll ever do a direct sequel--unless Steve ever really does close/sell the store--but there is a spinoff coming soon: By Spoon! The Jay Meisel Story TRAILER II.
Anthony Desiato Awesome! Meisel was the highlight of the film. You have my support.
Gratitude!
Great job!! I could definitely watch more!!
Thanks so much! As it turns out, there actually IS more if you’re interested: www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B085GJXDST/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r

Fantastic job! It's a very addictive documentary, makes me want to shop there!
Thanks! Looking forward to discussing it with you on your podcast!
54:34 lol hilarious interaction
Oh wow, Mr. Egan is awesome! I wish I had his English class in high school. I would have stayed after school just talking comics.
Such an awesome documentary. That hour and 11 minutes just flew by.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. If you’re interested in the rest of the story, my new doc MY COMIC SHOP COUNTRY is on Amazon, Apple, and Curiosity Stream.

Much appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
Really enjoyed watching that! Cheers for LCS's everywhere!
Thanks! Appreciate you checking it out.
I really appreciated and like this film. Makes me want to get out of my shell next week when I go to my local comic shop. Great job.
Thanks! It's very gratifying to hear the film had that effect on you--hope all goes well at your shop!
Always fun to see the inside workings of another comic shop. And I though we had a crew at The Secret Stash! Very well done my friend.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I'm a big fan of the Stash (both on the show and in person, though I've only been there a couple of times), so it's really a thrill to know that someone from that world saw & enjoyed the movie.

Thank you! That's great to hear. Much appreciated!
Very well done,has a grass roots,organic synergy.two thumbs up
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
Great doc. I love my local shop, its ran by an old time collector, I can spend all day in there digging through long boxes.
Awesome! And thanks for the kinds words about the film. Much appreciated!
This documentary is really great! Very heart-warming and it got me hooked till the end.
I got emotional at times and it kinda encourages you to think about life(at least in my case).
Well done!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words. It's very gratifying to hear that the doc made that much of an impression. Cheers!
Greetings from Australia! Great documentary Anthony, well done!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
i really enjoyed this and this is the best documentary i have ever watched
Wow, thanks so much!
Absolutely loved it makes me wish I lived in America as the comic book community seems so great there!
Thanks! Glad you got to experience the comic shop culture a little bit through the film.
Loved it, Seeing as I spent my middle school years there browsing and buying Magic cards it was of great nostalgia to see this made. I also went there last week with some friends to reconnect with that HS side of me, will definitely get back into collecting!
Awesome! Glad it brought back those memories. Thanks for checking it out!
Nice work. I really enjoyed your film. Watched while I sorted my comics.
Awesome, thanks!
This was awesome! It reminded me why I loved my old local shop before it closed.
Thanks for your comment! It's great to hear that you connected with the doc in that way. Cheers!
This was a great documentary as a comic book fan I just want to say you did a amazing job
I appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the film. Thanks for checking it out!
this was unexpectedly great!
my 1st comics. found a whole box full of x men x factor cable wolverine etc at the dump. at first it was i just enjoyed copying the art but then the story and the character's got me and that was me hooked
Awesome documentary also just in general. Loved it.
Thanks again. I really appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!
That was fantastic, literally had tears in my eye at the end. Reminds me of my time working at Dragons Den and hanging there with my Warhammer crew.

MR. KU Terrific--hope all goes well!
They went out of business a year after the documentary. I hope you are MORE successful.
This is awesome. Very hard to find comic book shops here in Kenya. Lots of book shops and libraries but very few comic book stores if any and very hard to find.
Thanks for checking it out! Sorry to hear that comic shops are hard to come by. Hopefully you got to experience some of it through the movie!
Great job on this documentary. Its a good eye opener for those who decide to buy digital copies over the real McCoy and miss opportunities to make new friends :)
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Nice work, man.
Much appreciated! Thanks for checking out the doc.
Thanks for inviting us in.
Worth Watching.
Thanks for checking it out!
Jeff Wong, a legend in his own mind, the most delusional dude of all time, he is certifiable. 😅
Good doc.

Thanks so much! Hope you get a chance to check out the NEW movie, which includes the final fate of Alternate Realities: www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B085GJXDST/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r
wow great documentary it really showcased what comics are all about. I shared it on reddit I hope it helps to get some more views>
Thanks for helping to spread the word! Much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the doc!
Awesome movie
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
So great! Well done documentary! If i'm ever in Scarsdale there is one place i'm sure to stop. What Camera or Camera's did you use? Terrific terrific work - I certainly hope this won't be your last film!
Thank you very much--that really means a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed the doc, and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I shot the movie on a Canon HV40. Here's my site if you're interested in checking out my upcoming films: www.flatsquirrelproductions.com. Cheers!
Awesome! Glad to hear that you've got more upcoming I'll definitely support them! Cheers!
Any plans to do a follow up mini-doc on Steve and the people featured in this? That would be great!
Thanks for the interest! Have you seen my most recent film, MY COMIC SHOP COUNTRY? www.amazon.com/Comic-Shop-Country-Jermaine-Exum/dp/B085GJXDST
Will there be a "10 years later"? :)
This documentary appeared on my favourite torrent website and I tried to download for 7 days straight but I was stuck at 90.1% endlessly. And now that I found it and watched it, I want more!!!
Love from a Comic book lover from Switzerland!

@@AnthonyDesiato hey! no, but now I will! Thanks!
@@AnthonyDesiato Sadly, I'm in the UAE and can't access it on Amazon :(
Awesome Doc. Well shot. Great story. What's the story on the chick with the sleeve? She is beautiful.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the film. (As for the interviewee in question, she is happily married. I will pass along your compliment!)
I miss my wife
10/10 👏🔥
Would it be possible to get a Jeff Hwang highlight reel? I believe it could go viral, haha! He's awesome.
Not a bad idea! Truthfully, what I would love to do (if I had the capability) is an animated series based on his exploits.
Anthony Desiato OH! YES!! That would be epic. I would love to see that. At the least, we need his adventures depicted in a web comic. I can help you promote it! The first 25 pages could be the 25 kills he's had in the line of duty! Hahaha!!
Jason Williams Hmmm, a web comic would definitely be more doable...
“Pickup a cake and eat one!” We’ve all been there.
Alan Ford is my first comic...
Thanks for checking out & sharing the movie!

Pleasure is all mine! I enjoyed it.
I love it.
The song at 19:14 reminds me of "Demons of the Night" by Demoniac.
maybe a fire " a blessing" haha funnyest shit ever
Every store catering to any kind of nerd demographic has its own Jeff Hwang.
