TGIF: Steve Geppi

Steve GeppiFor a bit of fun and nostalgia today, watch this Publishers Weekly video of Steve Geppi, discussing his love of comic. An excerpt: "When I was a little boy I read comic books, but like most kids I got out of it. Life said, "You're too old," so it seemed. And then I rediscovered my childhood passion when I was about 22 yeras old and I was working at the post office. My nephew was reading a comic book one day on a vacation and I got a nostalgic flashback, and the next thing, I was hunting for comics."

Many treasures from his collection are housed in Geppi's Entertainment Museum in the former Camden Station. The museum, which opened in 2006, offers thousands of pop culture artifacts, including comics, toys and other collectibles.
