We catch up with our friends Justin and Penelope Daniels from Farpoint Toys & Collectibles in New Jersey to talk about shutting down for COVID-19, filming themselves for an Amazon documentary, nearly losing their comic and toy shop to a devastating electrical fire, getting nominated for a retail Eisner, again, and why longtime “G.I. Joe” writer Larry Hama is a Real American Hero.

Dan Grote is the editor-in-chief of ComicsXF, having won the site by ritual combat. By day, he’s a newspaper editor, and by night, he’s … also an editor. He co-hosts WMQ&A: The ComicsXF Interview Podcast with Matt Lazorwitz. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, two kids and two miniature dachshunds, and his third, fictional son, Peter Winston Wisdom.
Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.
