Podcast appearances and mentions of shelton drum

For Charlotte's readers of comic books, graphic novels and manga, Shelton Drum has achieved the status of a local legend.  Forty years ago, Shelton founded Heroes Aren't Hard to Find, an independent comics shop, which is now located at 417 Pecan Avenue in Charlotte's Plaza-Midwood neighborhood. Although he was only in his twenties at the time, he already had extensive experience collecting comic books.  His customers appreciated his expertise and enjoyed talking with a fellow comic book fan, and he soon developed a loyal customer base.  Nowadays Heroes (as the store is generally known) ranks among America's most influential comic book retailers.  For more information about Heroes, please click on the following link:  http://www.heroesonline.com/about/   This episode features an excerpt of "Non Cents" by Sonny Rollins 

Host Nick Jones is joined by the owner of Heroes Aren't Hard To Find and the founder of Heroes Con, Shelton Drum to discuss all things Heroes Con. Heroes Com takes place June 16-18 in Charlotte, NC. For more info and tickets, follow the link!http://www.heroesonline.com/heroescon/

For years The Comics Alternative has held a monthly on-location episode where one or two cohosts go into -- physically or virtually -- one of their local comics shops and talk with customers and employees about the comics that their reading, what they're excited about and looking forward to, and what grumblings they may have in terms of comics culture. The last such episode was published last August, right before Derek moved to Charlotte, NC...and as things would turn out, in the final days of Valhalla Games and Comics. But now that Derek has settled in his new environs, he heads over to Heroes Aren't Hard to Find, his new local shop in Charlotte (at 417 Pecan Avenue), to begin once again the monthly series. So January's show kicks things off, with Derek introducing customers and shop employees to the podcast and beginning what, we hope, will be a fun and informative monthly visit. Snowy weather hit Charlotte this week, so the ice and cold cut down on traffic in the shop over the past couple of days. But several did come in and take the time to talk on show, sharing what titles they're currently reading and what they're finding exciting, and frustrating, in comics and comics-related media. For example, Isaiah, coming in for his weekly comics, shares his thoughts on recent DC Rebirth storylines and the shenanigans he sees going on at Marvel. Shop employees, Karla and Eli, talk about the some of the comics that are currently or soon-to-be adapted for television -- and Eli is particularly interested in the upcoming series based on Rick Remender's Deadly Class. And shop owner Shelton Drum comes on to discuss their recent move to a new location, next week's Charlotte Mini-Con (taking place on Saturday, Jan. 27, at the Gary Cole Center), and when we can expect to hear announcements about this summer's HeroesCon. A big THANK YOU to Karla and Shelton for helping to make this on-location show happen. And if you're in the Charlotte area, be sure to come by the shop on Wednesday, February 21, for next month's on-location recording!

Welcome to Marketing Monster Mashup, the official podcast of Leading Results! Join host Matt Starnes for episode twelve to hear Shelton Drum, owner and founder of the 2nd longest running comic book show in the country, Heroes Con 2017 and Heroes Aren't Hard to Find comics based in Charlotte, NC. Matt and Shelton have a conversation about list building before the internet, the value of non-digital marketing, and moving stores.  You have to listen to Shelton's story of how he went from an art major to visiting Stan Lee in NYC without an appointment and how that trip lead to the creation of Heroes Con.  Also, Shelton shares what he was thinking right after 9-11 and the decision he had to make about the future of his business. We hope you enjoy Shelton's insights into starting a business at a flea market and growing it into a store and a convention celebrating its 35th year! More information about Heroes Con here.

Shelton Drum is a first-generation outlier in the world of comics retail and convention organizing with his Charlotte NC store, Heroes Aren't Hard To Find, celebrating 30+ years in existence and Heroes Con growing stronger over a similar span of time. The TMSIDK gang traveled to Heroes Con 2013 to record the show live and the conversation spans the history of comics from the mid-60s forward through the eyes of a store owner who's seen it all.

Reviews: Goblin Hood and His Merry Monsters #1, It Came! #1, Lady Rawhide #1, Molly Danger #1 Lots of interviews from both San Diego Comic Con (Dr. Andrea Letamendi, Sam Park, Cole Drumb & Jennifer Luk) and Boston Comic Con (Ming Doyle & Jeff Burns) to get through so Jimmy does it solo so the episode isn't too supersized. He laments/rejoices over selling his massive comic book collection (appx. 15,000) to Shelton Drum of Heroes Con fame. He also visited Boston Comic Con on Sunday and gives his recap of what he saw, whom he met, etc. Great show! News includes: Peter Capaldi is the new Doctor in Doctor Who, Sequential graphic novels app goes global, Disney to publish Space Mountain graphic novel, and Young Justice: Legacyvideo game gets delayed. As always, listener feedback, Top 3 and more! Leave your iTunes comments! 5 stars and nothing but love! Thanks for listening!
