Publishers Weekly is reporting that New York City’s Midtown Comics is soon opening a fourth branch: inside the iconic toy store FAO Schwarz‘s Fifth Avenue location. The store-within-a-store will “feature graphic novels, hardcovers, apparel, collectibles and other items.”
Midtown’s co-owner Gerry Gladston said: “We are very pleased to be invited to bring our brand to FAO Schwarz, and to share the excitement of the world of comics, graphic novels, and related collectibles with those who might not often come across them.”
FAO Schwarz is at 767 5th Avenue (at 58th Street), New York, NY 10153
Midtown’s three current stores include:
200 West 40th Street (corner of 7th Avenue), New York, NY 10018 (the original store, opened in July 1997)
459 Lexington Avenue (at the corner of 45th Street), New York, NY 10017 (opened in March 2006)
