Wired has started a new photo-series looking at “individuals you encounter everyday” and trying to show another side to them as well as their public place persona by photographing them at home too. And to kick off with they decided to begin by looking at folks who work in comics stores: “From the sassy princess of underground comics to the pajama-wearing ex-convict, your local pulp-pushers are anything but ordinary. We’ve profiled nine comic crusaders, five from New York and four from the San Francisco Bay Area, photographing them in their shops and at home. We asked each employee roughly the same questions, and their responses are published alongside their photos.” (link via Boing Boing)

just as long as they don’t venture downstairs at the FPI Manchester shop. Moody buggers.
