The Denver Post profiles pioneering comic shop owner Chuck Rozanski, whose 42-year-old
Mile High Comics business has expanded to include a 65,000-square-foot warehouse housing "two miles of comics" along it's inner perimeter.
Q: Why do people spend so much money on a collectible comic that they might be able to see scanned online for free?
A: With comics, the tangible has a gratifying
aspect. If I wanted to read my 1950s Disney comics, there's no way I'd
want to read them on my iPad or Kindle. I want to hold them. There's a
sense of ownership. You enjoy the linear progression as a collection. To
actually hold an issue in your hand, and know it's one of less than 100
surviving comics in the entire world? Well, that's pretty special.
