SYNOPSIS
My Comic Shop DocumentARy is an independent, feature-length film about New York's Alternate Realities. In 1992, Alternate Realities owner Steve Oto embarked upon a journey from lawyer to comic book retailer. It has been a journey filled with accomplishment and disappointment, friendship and heartbreak, and a dream that would become a nightmare.
Humorous, intimate, and heartfelt, My Comic Shop DocumentARy shines a light on the colorful community that has assembled at Alternate Realities over the past two decades. From Oto himself, who dispenses his oddball wisdom in the form of pithy sayings known as "Otoisms," to a customer who works at restaurant chain T.G.I. Friday's but claims to moonlight as a member of an elite SWAT team, it is a community more colorful than even the pages of a comic book.
​A true D.I.Y. project, first-time filmmaker Anthony Desiato handled virtually all aspects of production on My Comic Shop DocumentARy while attending law school and working at Alternate Realities. The completed film has screened at NewFilmmakers New York (May 2011), the San Diego Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival (July 2011), the St. Louis International Film Festival (November 2011), the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival (April 2012), and the Phoenix Comicon Film Festival (May 2012).
In July 2012, it was the inaugural entry in the "Local Element" series at Pleasantville's prestigious Jacob Burns Film Center. My Comic Shop DocumentARy has garnered press in multiple media outlets, including The New York Times, Newsday, Newsarama.com (the comic book industry's premier news site), and more.
Following this movie, director Anthony Desiato chronicled the closing of Alternate Realities on the MY COMIC SHOP HISTORY podcast. His latest feature-length documentary film, MY COMIC SHOP COUNTRY, explores the culture, business, and fandom of comic book stores from coast to coast...and also reveals the final fate (and future?) of Alternate Realities.

EVERY comic shop has their version of Jeff Hwuang...the guy you see coming and think "Oh here we go..." and yet there's the part of you that's also excited because you know you're in for a trip. But I'm pretty sure there's only ONE Jeff Hwuang. The others are cheap knock-offs. I'm HIGHLY enjoying this. Thank you so much.

In 1972, a one man crack commando was sent to prison by a military court for a crime he didn't commit. This man promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Scarsdale underground. Today, still wanted by the government he survives as a soldier of fortune and Archie comic reader. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him....maybe you can hire Jeff Hwang...

I'm really enjoying this documentary. Loved hearing from all the disengaged partners lol. I'm into comics more than the average person, that being said, I have a relatively small collection that's easily packed away into a cupboard. I used to feel the need to display my collections (I used to have an unhealthy interest in transformers), but I'm in a much happier place where I'm able to enjoy things without having to buy it all. I'll read stories online for free while still having the books that really mean something to me sentimentally - such as all the spiderman comics I began buying from my local newsagent in 1996 and 1997. People rag on John Romita jr and sr, but I have such fond memories of those comics. I'll throw my two cents in here: if your wife is telling you, you spend too much, you should at least have a mature conversation about finances as a couple. By joking about it and saying you're not drinking, gambling or smoking diminishes the impact that addictive spending has on people's lives. If it got so bad that negative consequences were a result, ie. Unhappy family life, negative moods because "you couldn't fit in enough comic reading hours" each month etc, then this "harmless" activity is now a harmful addiction. Thanks again for creating this doco. Really interesting take on this special interest group.

Wow. This is SO much like my life story from the past 32 years, it blows my mind!! LOL My oldest son commented on my FB page, where I shared this, that SKO is the Asian (version of) me. I own Comic World in Largo, Florida. I started out part time for store credit in August 1982, on payroll October 1982, became full time in December 1982, and bought the shop ten years later in December 1992. And I'm still here ... kicking, though alive is questionable. ;-) Congrats on this incredible documentary that I so VERY much identified with, and appreciate. I laughed, applauded throughout, and seriously made my (2nd) wife raise an eyebrow a couple of times in my direction. She runs the store with me. (My 1st marriage was somewhat a casualty of the store -- she hated the place -- but I met my 2nd wife *through* the store, so I lucked out!) Steve, I'm sure you'll see this: we had our own customer with 'Tall Tales', who claimed to have invented the character Nova. He said Stan Lee personally came to his house and paid him off in the 1970's because Marvel stole the character from him. The guy who ran the shop with me, this was before I bought it, christened this guy "Nova Man". Nova Man would go on to tell us how he had guarded the alien bodies under the Pentagon, how he'd been a US Navy Seal, how he'd been in the movie "The Final Countdown" as a karate instructor (because he could kill men with two blows), and that he had directed Leonard Nimoy off-Broadway. Good times! LOL God bless you guys, every one of you! May all of you, and Alternate Realities -- cliché as it may sound -- live long and prosper, from one comic shop to another!! Fantastic!! Thank you, Anthony, and everyone at Alternate Realities!!

This is awesome. Very hard to find comic book shops here in Kenya. Lots of book shops and libraries but very few comic book stores if any and very hard to find.
