Merchandise Comic Book Store

[Ged Kenny]

Hi everyone,

I have noticed that the site adveretises some of the things that have appeared on the show. But, did you know that The Comic Book Store that appears on the show, even has its own site (even though it doesnt actually exist)? The show has produced the site, as if it is real, for fans to actually buy the things they see in Stuarts comic book store, as if it were real. The site is advertised on the counter of the store. This is the site:

If you look around the site, you will see what I mean. So, not only would you be buying comic book memorabilla, but also Props from the actual show. For example, when Leonard was dating Stephine, you may remeber that his Bat Signal went missing after she 'moved in' without him knowing. Well, now you can buy this on 'Stuarts' site.

I think this is a genius idea by the show and it is something I have never heard of a show doing before.

Yeah it's cool isn't it. I'd forgotten about the website, I remember searching it a while ago to see if it was based on a real comic book store. My favourite part is the Mystic Warlords of Ka'a tournament on Thursdays and how it says that Stuart has first refusal to team up with any celebrity players or something like that.

Other shows occasionally do things like this. The new BBC series of Sherlock has John Watsons blog online and they have even peppered the replied with fake arguments between the characters. Not sure if you watch it but it's really good.

And they have recently added Sherlocks website with all the things he was shown to have posted to Moriarty on the show. It's so well done.
