Big Planet Comics founder retires, Bethesda shop to continue under longtime employee


After more than 36 years in business, Big Planet Comics founder Joel Pollack is calling it a career. Big Planet announced Pollack's retirement in a press release yesterday. Not to worry, true believers - Nick Liappis, a Big Planet veteran who currently manages the U Street shop, will be taking charge of the Bethesda store at 7939 Norfolk Avenue, Suite 200.

The Bethesda store will now be open for in-store shopping during the following hours: 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM Tuesday - Friday, 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays and Mondays. Big Planet is even more valuable today than it was three decades ago, as the days of comic racks in the local convenience or grocery store have ended, as have bookstores in downtown Bethesda. If you want to browse for comic books, Big Planet Comics is it at this point.

Fox 5 employee armed carjacked @12:11am Wednesday... Any comments? Is Lokay okay? Is this because Dems or Reps? Culture? Access to stolen gun shop guns? Scared MoCo police? Prosecutor McCarthy? Lenient circuit judges? We all know the problem, so what's the solution? All this simply due to a few bad out of state cops and mainly because of the slavery revenge tour which occurs in too many cities to fit on any t-shirts. -- Anyone who comments on here, would you change your tack or opinion if or when it ever happened to you? Would you ever share with the group here the shock and fear you had experienced? That 'jacker not from Potomac got 9 years and will be out in 3. How does that make you feel or what message does that send? I bet that punks' parents are ecstatic. Was anyone here on that jury or know who was? Guidelines suck, if you commit a crime you need to do the time. No deals. If violent, death penalty with no appeals. -- I'm sick of all this crap and to hell with you all. Go ahead and hide by not commenting all you yellow cowards. This is not satire, btw.
