Wasn't there a Tick Episode Like This Once?

by Ron Hogan

The New York outpost of 826 Valencia is open for business:

The store has everything a modern, well-equipped superhero might need: leotards, boots, tights, magnets, chain ladders, nets and other tools of the villain-fighting trade. "We don't sell comic books or figurines,'' Mr. Seeley said. "It's literally what a superhero would use.''

What, superheroes don't read comic books? Anyhow, if you're in Brooklyn Thursday night, you might want to support the center by attending a fundraising benefit with performances by David Byrne, Dave Eggers, and many others.
