COMIC BOOK STORE OPENS in BALTIMORE-FEDERAL HILL-Alliance Comics, the first comic store to operate in downtown Baltimore in roughly a decade. Amy and Gerard McNeal just opened the doors of their shop, which is being relocated from Bowie. The spot used to be my cleaners, Theodore's Cleaners, at 904 Light Street in Federal Hill. The couple sells new issue comic books and graphic novels ("silver" and "golden" age materials and back issues are available only at the couple's Silver Spring store), as well as toys, tee-shirts, card games, and merchandise related to video games (but not the games themselves).
