This is amazing 1. The store is still there in the same spot and open. 2. You guys recorded it. 3. You guys are still friends!!! That’s awesome!! I am 41 and LOVE all these videos!!
Me and my best friend are 18 and 19 and both love your videos,we've been friends since we were in 1st grade,and you've inspired us to when we are adults..well older adults to go back and visit places we went to as kids like yall did here.
That gold Spider Man #1 cover is worth $100-$200 on average, so that is a good one if you still have. My entire collection all got put into the shed at my parent's house and destroyed by water... Had about ten of that Spider Man # 1 all bagged and boarded, along with other stuff, what would be tens of thousands of dollars now, they were ready for future me... (the future is now)
I just came across your channel and probably same age as you. It’s great to see your old footage and probably feels like yesterday to you. Who would have known you’d be uploading it on to the computer for the world to see.
Wooow. Good work guys. That must have been a lot of work to assemble the Tape material into the digital "comic window". It was fun to watch it. Thumbs up. Bye.
That issue of Silver Surfer 50 and the Infinity Gauntlet books were the first comics I bought and read. Now I have over 50,000 comics. Glad I got into them when I did because most of my friends that didn't ended up criminals and addicts. I never had money for drugs or partying because that would have cut into my comic book collecting.
I think I held a comic book only once and enjoyed it due to its unique build and it being in a sleeve. That’s all I have so im no where near knowing what it’s like to have appreciated comic books BUT I very much enjoyed this video. 😊 thank you for continuing to share with us all! 🙌🏻
Great before and after all in one screen. Would love to see more of that! And Darrell, your hair had to have been at its peak in 1990. I wish my hair could look like that right now!
Yes I showed Ed the owner the Pensacola vacation video and the last live video. I left him a message that the video was up today. He was very excited and also happy I showed him.
My goodness dude the fact that you shopped at the same comic store that I shopped at as a kid is unreal. This is how I discovered your channel your Pensacola videos. Damn I wish I could have been able to meet you guys and get an autograph. I would travel to fort Walton Beach and get my comics at the same place. And backup the way is ShowBiz Pizza which AKA Chuck-E-Cheese but it was showbiz down here we would go there cuz I had family in fort Walton at the time and I lived in Pensacola. Another awesome video from you guys. You guys really know how to hit that nostalgic factor and that is awesome.
My go to comic shop while growing-up in the 80's was Comic Collector Shop on San Fernando St in San Jose CA. It was my favorite place in the world. It had been there since the 60's and had all the vintage comics I loved. It was owned by a guy named Bob Sidebottom, who was ALWAYS there, behind the counter reading the newspaper. As a ten year old, I used to wonder what an old guy saw in comic books. I later learned the comics he was into were not the comics I was into. In about 1990, Bob had a stroke. His wife took-over running the shop, and shortly after, it was closed down. I still have by comic book collection. It's my flash-back to ten year old me.
I wish that I had footage of my friends and I at this age doing day-to-day things like this: going to the local comic store, arcade, the mall, the pizza place. They're all gone now. The mall is there but it is now been changed to a strip mall. At least Puente Hills Mall, the mall in "Back To The Future" still exists. Used to hang out there and saw the movie in a (now gone) theater less than a mile from the first mall parking lot time-travel scene.
For the commenters and anybody else who wanted to know TBS comics started in 1985 in a town close to Fort Walton Beach called Niceville. It was started by a mom and son and it’s still going on. TBS stands for trade , buy and sell, Not as epic as some people were hoping, but I just wanted to answer those questions for people.
Small world, this is my hometown. Was awesome growing up here before Destin exploded, foreign investment firms bought up most of the properties and living there became unaffordable. There was a walmart next to that strip mall that eventually became a school. TBS comics one of the only local businesses still around. I believe another comic book/gaming store still in business on racetrack across from a gas station.
Very cool 😎 I love it when you guys go back to childhood stomping grounds 👍💜🤘 I remember that Air craft carrier, my brothers had one. I still have a photo of me sitting in front of it LOL 😁
It's funny how 31 years later there is the same comic book store, but still not a single one in my country. I'm really jealous of your childhood you had so much variety in activities, hobbies and of course amazing music. I really born in wrong time and country 😂 And this video was pleasure to watch. Top notch editing 💥
Very cool! I just got back into comics about 2 years ago now. Most of my purchases are either Omnibuses or Absolute editions these days. Most of my old stores closed down in my area, but we have a few new ones that opened about 10 years ago!
So cool lads!!! I was wondering, can you tell stories of when you got into trouble?! Surely you must have! We all have had our run ins with the cops and parents (or in my case both 😂) at the age 12-18 😂 We were just talking about the time I was arrested for allegedly dealing drugs... I didn't deal drugs. I dealt in phone-sex-tapes but the cops never found that one out :D Otherwise I'd probably still ended up in juve for breaking copyright laws and/or phone hacking laws :D But yeah it was a close call, scared me straight… for a bit 😂 I basically had my own little holding cell as a teen 😂 one cop joked: “we should charge your mum rent!” I joked back: “please don’t, she’ll take it out of my allowance and I still haven’t paid off the school window that I broke. And the burned curtains in the garage when I almost set myself on fire by accident and in the process burned the curtains and part of the wooden roof…” He then said: “I’m so glad you’re no my kid!”😂
I made a comment above, but I knew you probably wouldn’t see it unless I commented on your comment. I live near TBS so I stop in from time to time and talk with Ed. I asked him what TBS stood for. I remember now why I forgot. It is not as epic as one might think. Wait for it.,,,,,,, It stands for Trade, Buy, Sell. TBS comics started back in 1985.
@@EricFullerton Here is another interesting sidenote, in 1991 he opened up a store in Pensacola. If you guys just would’ve went on vacation a year later, we wouldn’t have had this video. Your parents driving up Mary Esther Cutoff really is my favorite part of the video. I’m a couple years older than the both of you.
Interessante como éramos parecidos nos anos 80, mesmos morando em países diferentes como Brasil e usa, ouvíamos as mesmas músicas, tínhamos os mesmos estilos de modas curtiamos os mesmos gosto por gibis e filmes da época,e o mais interessante é que todos temos os mesmos sentimentos de nostalgia desta época.um abraço do Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😄😄
I didn’t get the reference. Had to look it up. I’ve never watched “The Big Bang Theory”. Never been much for sit-coms. Is it any good? Worth watching? -D
Cool! Never been into comics....but some graphic novels are pretty cool. My oldest daughter likes graphic novels a bit. My faughter likes comic con. Never was into it when i was groeing up. I've never been old and dusty in any kind of way. I'm in five shape and health and it pisses off someone who is jealous of me. Scientific facts
you guys are lucky to have kept your friendship going.
That is actually amazing that a comic bookstore would still be around after 30 years and in the same place and also expanded.
It’s probably around 40 years. It’s been here since the 80s.
@@repoman3737Wait don’t say it you’ve been there before in the 80s? How was your experience there I bet it was amazing.
@@jupiter-p75 There’s a newer video about the comic book shop where I explain everything in the comments.
Yeah, that is actually pretty amazing!
You have got to be kidding?.?. That comic shop is still in business and at the same spot for 31 years ?!?!?! Wow! The owner is a true comic fan.
Only one owner after 31+ years. They’ve been around since the 80s the owners mom started the business with his help any eventually took over.
Seeing your mom enjoying spending time with y’all is so sweet. If your parents are still alive I hope they are healthy and happy.
This is amazing 1. The store is still there in the same spot and open. 2. You guys recorded it. 3. You guys are still friends!!! That’s awesome!! I am 41 and LOVE all these videos!!
I love that the Subway in that shopping center is still there, too!
They just renovated it too.
Me and my best friend are 18 and 19 and both love your videos,we've been friends since we were in 1st grade,and you've inspired us to when we are adults..well older adults to go back and visit places we went to as kids like yall did here.

This is sooooooo well edited! Fantastic job.

Keep them coming guys!!! Look foward to tomorrow!🎉🎉

Love these revisits to your old stomping grounds.
Actually it was a vacation trip
@@Phantasm2Cuda
I know. I never said they stomped there regularly. 😄
@@adamn7516 well that's what a stomping ground is a place that you regularly spend time. Lmao
Wonderful you guys! Hope the store gets to see this. Their GI Joe collection is nuts!
Yes I showed Ed the owner the Pensacola vacation video and the last live video. I left him a message that the video was up today. He was very excited and also happy I showed him.
Very cool!! Loved how awesome it was to go to the comic shops as a kid. At least that one is still standing, my childhood shop is no longer around.

AWESOME. Love taking trips back in time with you two. Love you guys 🥰❤️
Great video! Hard to believe that TBS Comics has survived so long. AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing.
Every other comic book place in the area has come and gone. They have been around since the 80s and only run by one owner a mum and her son.
One thing I learned from these videos is that us teenagers were identical doing the same silly stuff.
Love this!! Have been hoping for a video with the young Eric and Darrell. Love seeing how things looked back then. Thanks!!!!!!!
Entertaining and well-produced as always. Thanks for sharing, guys!

I'd love to visit that mall someday, before it's demolished hopefully 🌲🌲 -E
Growing up in the 80's the comic shops in my area were very rare I always bought mine from a local grocery store or Pharmacy

man i love to watch you guys !!! keep it up with that kind of content !!
Will do, thanks for watching! -E
Nice graphics & superb editing
Wow, cool store. It was also neat to see the before and after of the drive to it.
As a local, it’s actually kind of sad to see how it’s changed and not necessarily in a good way. But it is really cool and nostalgic.

Does Eric still have his much prized comics in 2024?
Did y'all get swept up in the batmania of 1989?
