Ralph Holt's Memoirs
History Of Ralph's Comic Corner
In the late 1970s, as a young man, Ralph Holt joined up with a friend of his and opened up the Andromeda Bookshop - a store specializing in science fiction books and comic books located in Santa Barbara, CA.
After a couple of years, Ralph decided to venture out on his own. He made his way about 35-plus miles south down the coast to Ventura, CA; and, in May of 1980, he opened up the very first incarnation of Ralph's Comic Corner. This store was originally located in the back of a thrift store where it literally was just a corner.
After four years, Ralph moved down the road to a larger location with his very own storefront. In 1990, after ten years of being in business for himself, Ralph moved the shop across the street to an even larger store. In 1997, that store doubled its size which brings us to the present where Ralph's now houses an inventory of over a 100,000 plus comic books.
There, you will also find comics dating from the 1930s to the present day...current. Ralph's Comic Corner is very heavy in Silver Age DC. As far as new comics go, the store carries a full line of currently published comics, including everything from best-selling Marvel, DC, and Image comics, to the occasionally hard to find Gladstone and Archie comics, to the usually difficult-to-find small press titles.
Today, you can find Ralph and his comic book crew located at 2379 E. Main Street, Ventura, CA 93003. (805) 653-2732 or if your an Internet shopper or located somewhere else on the planet, you can shop on line at: www.ralphscomiccorner.com
