Amazing Stories Comics Games and More

About Amazing Stories

Amazing Stories was founded by Brian Komm in 1996. Brian's love of
comics started at an early age - he was reading and drawing comics before
he even started kindergarten. By age 15 he was running a table at the local
comic-con - sometimes to sell comics, sometimes to sell art.

The first shop was a tiny 800 sq. ft. (that included the bathroom and
closets!) It was hard going at first - but by trial and error Amazing Stories
has grown into the business that it is today. We moved to our present
1800 sq. ft. location in Vancouver in 1999, and just opened our second
shop in Astoria, Oregon on Halloween 2006. We currently have a staff of
five friendly knowledgeable individuals.

Brian - Owner, Comic Master and Former Big Dog.
If you are looking for a recommended read, that perfect card for your
Magic deck, or a board game review - Brian is your guy. Brian is
currently pursuing his dreams of working in the art industry. Submitting
samples of his art to many of your favorite game and comic companies.
When he is not working on his art, he is giving individual Art Lessons at
the Astoria store. Sessions are 30 minutes long and are scheduled before
and after store hours. A few time slots are still available, if interested give
us a call at the Astoria shop - 1-503-325-5518. Brian has recently lost
over 110 pounds - if you find them, you can keep them.

René - Co-Owner, Brian's wife, and All-Around Wonder Chick.
René is very involved behind the scenes - making things run smoothly and
efficiently. She is Brian's right hand. She is responsible for updating the
website, finding/purchasing the cool items for Astoria, doing the fun stuff
like bookkeeping and payroll,and fielding calls from The Comic Shop
Workers Union. René and Brian work the Astoria shop and are at the
Vancouver shop on Tuesday mornings.

Jason - Front Counter Clerk, Rocker, & All-Around Sharp
Dressed Man.
Jason is on the front lines in Vancouver 5 days a week. If you have a
question about comics or Dungeons & Dragons, odds are he'll know the
answer. He is a jack-of-all-trades - an awesome asset to the Amazing
Stories staff.

Shawn - Counter Dude & Imaginary Idol
Shawn is an international superstar, with millions of fans. No one is quite
sure why Shawn is famous though. All that is known is that he is
constantly imitated and idolized. Unfortunately, Shawn was unable to
secure the rights to his own face and in 2002 Imaginary Inc. began
producing products with Shawn's image. In 2006, Imaginary reported a
$2.3 billion profit off of Shawn merchandise for the fiscal year. "One of
the bigger hassles is the fan mail," says Shawn. Daily he receives about
300 pounds of letters and items from his fans.

Tim - Charismatic Keeper of Comics and Curiosities
Tim has been a comic fan for more years than he'll admit. He's older than
Marvel. Previously an aspiring rock star, he still has music he recorded in
the 80's hair band days. Also a major movie buff, he knows all about the
newest films being made for comic lovers. Recently retired from the car
business, he decided it was time to have some fun doing what he loves.
Working at Amazing Stories is great! He gets to talk about comics and
games all day. Now if he could only find a band to spend some evenings
with......
