WEBB CITY, Mo (KOAM) – Heroes and Wizards Comic Store offers a variety of ways to enjoy science fiction for National Science Fiction Day. Science fiction offers a unique world where it is possible to escape the stresses and worries of everyday life. For many fans, this genre provides a much-needed break from the daily routine and a chance to immerse themselves in amazing stories and imaginative universes.
“That little bit of time where I don’t have to worry about did I pay all my bills, that I get this done, did I get the dishes put away in the dishwasher the right way,” Shawn Garbin, a long time friend of Heroes and Wizards Comic Store said. “It gives me that little escape from reality just kind of gives me a break.”
At Heroes and Wizards Comics, the owners are passionate about supporting those who want to dive into the world of science fiction. They encourage newcomers and longtime fans alike to explore the genre.
“Robert Heinlein writes a lot or wrote a lot of short stories where you can sit down and, you know, 30, 45 minutes and read one of his incredible stories,” Wayne Boone the owner of Heroes and Wizards Comic store said. “So that would be a great way. Just to take advantage of science fiction and reading a classic story from a classic writer.”
Their shop offers a wide range of products and experiences for all types of fans, including books, comics, action figures, games, and even a dedicated gaming area. This variety ensures that everyone can find something that resonates with their love for the genre.
One of the most common debates among science fiction fans is the classic books versus movies discussion.
“I’m 50/50. Some movies I watch don’t read the books. Others I read and then watch, and then I critique the movie for not following the book. So I guess it kind of depends. I find the majority of the time the books are always better,” said Shawn.
Science fiction continues to be a beloved genre that provides an imaginative escape for readers and fans of all kinds. Whether through books, comics, games, or movies, it offers a world where anyone can find adventure, inspiration, and a break from reality.
