Hypno Comics is a local comic book store that has been in Pahrump for many years. This business belongs to a guy named George Chase. The business is located in front of the public library or 720 East Street. Even though this location is their favorite it wasn’t their first. They were first located in California, but decided to pack up and move their business here. When they moved here they were first located next to Goodwill, but decided to change locations.

Now a little bit about the owner and more about the business. George Chase has been in Pahrump for 4 years, along with his business. The business has been at 2 other locations in Pahrump, but of the 3 he says “This one is my favorite.” When I asked him “What made you open this business” his response was “ I have been a life-long comic book fan and been in this business for 35 years.” When I asked him “Is it hard to stay open in a small town like this” his response was  “No because we have good customer service and good employees.” Speaking of employees I also asked his employee, Paul, the question “what made you want to work here?” He responded with “ This was the 1st place to walk in and just ask for a job” and ever since then he has really loved his job.

 

In conclusion, save your gas and money and go to the comic book store here instead of driving somewhere else or having it delivered. They are really nice and a good place to go and shop.  They don’t just sell comics but a wide variety of other things as well. They have a lot of stock too for each item.
