Big News for College Park
BIG NEWS!
Hey Big Planeteers!
We know a lot of you shop at all our locations, so we wanted to let you know that we’re going to be passing the torch of comics in College Park to our friends at Third Eye Comics and their new Third Eye College Park location this July! Thank you all so much for 15 years of incredible support at that store. We were honored to take over the original College Park comic store of Closet of Comics/Liberty Books from Jim, and we wanted to make sure a great comic book store remained in College Park for you through Third Eye Comics. If you haven’t shopped with our friends at Third Eye Comics yet, you might have seen them set up at some cons, too. You can check out their flagship store in Annapolis MD if you want to be reassured that they have great stores and will treat comic fans right. Big Planet Comics of College Park will be open, operating, and serving up weekly new comics as we have been right up until Wednesday 6/29/22, and then we’ll be closing the doors of this location at 7315 Baltimore Ave, and then on Saturday 7/2/22, Third Eye Comics will be taking over and opening less than 5 minutes from our current location up Baltimore Ave/Route 1, at 4744 Cherry Hill Rd in the College Park Marketplace Shopping Center (which is home to Game Kastle, Starbucks, Shopper’s Food Warehouse & Best Buy, right off the Beltway).
We’d imagine you’ll probably see a familiar face or two at the new Third Eye store too!
All our regular subs in College Park will transition right over to Third Eye Comics at that point, so they’re all set (Third Eye will reach out to introduce themselves to subscribers around June 14 by email and/or phone). For any questions about the upcoming new Third Eye College Park store, there’s a dedicated FAQ posted at https://thirdeyecomics.com/pages/college-park and of course, you can email Third Eye Steve himself at steve@thirdeyecomics.com As for us, Big Planet fans, we are so thankful for your support of all our stores, and we just want to assure you: this is a positive change for us, and the store itself has been in great shape. We have just reached a point where we’re looking to explore new paths, and this was the right time to pass the torch to a great company like Third Eye who we knew would continue the long-standing tradition that College Park has for having a great comic book store.
Sincerely,
Peter Casazza & Jared Smith
