About Me

Modern Myths is an independent local boosktore specializing in graphic novels, comic books, and hobby games located in Northmpaton, MA, USA.We're a full-line shop, indy-friendly but not exclusive, open 7 days a week, and always happy to special order anything we don't have.We're one of the few shops in the industry majority-owned by women, and we donate a percentage of our profits to non-profit organizations that support free speech and literacy.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fans of stuff we like and sell, local and otherwise.Comic authors and artists as well as game designers who'd be willing to trade a few hours appearing in our shop for a nice dinner in a vibrant New England arts community (and travel expenses).Our peers in the business, other independent comic book and hobby game shops.
