In a recent column about the history of the fire-damaged Lawrence Hotel in downtown San Jose, I remarked that the building was once home to San Jose’s first comic book shop.

After the article published, though, I heard from Jim Buser, who told me that Bob Sidebottom‘s Comic Collector Shop wasn’t the first. It actually was a store down the block on San Fernando Street called Seven Sons — and Buser would know because he was one of the guys who started it.
