Jay's first documentary appearance: • My Comic Shop Document...
Jay's "5 years later" epilogue scene: • My Comic Shop Country ...
He was prepared to die in that booth . . . but he wasn't ready to say goodbye.
Spinning out of the world of My Comic Shop DocumentARy comes director Anthony Desiato's award-winning (Best Documentary, Phoenix Comicon Film Festival) 2014 follow-up short: BY SPOON! THE JAY MEISEL STORY.
Bombastic, cranky, and irreverent, Jay Meisel operated a booth at New York's Empire State Flea Market for almost four decades. In his cramped and cluttered retail space, the comic book vendor decried a lack of taste and class in modern society, attributed his dwindling revenue to a rising "Latin" population, and berated his customers with a gruffness that belied his kind interior.
Jay often said he planned to die in his booth. Instead, when management announced that the flea market was closing its doors for good, Jay faced the far more challenging task of boxing up a life's work. By Spoon! The Jay Meisel Story documents Jay's final days at his weekend home of 35 years.

I don’t know Jay, but you did a wonderful job painting a pictures of this man life. I really enjoyed the pictur you help create of this man in my head, I feel like I was one his customers and that’s awesome. Times are a changing I’m glad I have videos like these to learn about people from!

My dad grew up buying from Jay and he was a fixture of my childhood as well. He would give my sister and I books, playills, and puzzles; telling us to hurry and take it before he changes his mind. He was like our surrogate grandparent. I was so sad when the market shut down, but I'm glad to have come across this, because I've missed Jay so much ❤️

My mom owned a store in that market for over 30 years. As a kid going to work with her, it was the shop i wanted to visit most, but the only one I was scared to even walk by cause of him, haha! My mom actually had to introduce me to him to let me know it was safe! So crazy seeing this, Such great memories that I’ve almost forgotten about….

@@AnthonyDesiato watching the movie on Amazon loving it. But the comic dealer in me got me to thinking. Does Steve still have the stores stock in those storage units because I would love to buy a ton if it’s still around and he actually wants to sell it? My email is jimmyscomics365@gmail.com thanks man great docs

He's like an grumpy, cantankerous version of Julius Schwartz. In other words, Julie has a twin.

Hello. How is Jay doing now? Do you still have contact with him?

@AnthonyDesiato 10 месяцев назад

Jay is still with us, though unfortunately, he has seen better days. His wife passed a few years ago, and Jay’s currently at an assisted-living facility and suffering from dementia. I’ve been able to see him in person a couple of times over the past few years & speak with him on the phone occasionally. The last time I saw him, I shared how much he resonated with audiences, and it meant so much to him.

@petervinci7810 10 месяцев назад

@@AnthonyDesiato thank you. I grew up with Jay as my comic book guy. I purchased thousands of comics from Jay over many years. He knew me and my family, I knew some of his family as well. If you can mention my name to him. Peter Vinci. My grandfather was Benjamin Vinci, he was injured at Pearl Harbor. The last correspondence I had with Jay was a sympathy card he sent after my grandfather’s passing. You did a fantastic job of capturing Jays personality, spirit and honor. Something we can all learn from. Thank you.
