Chapel Hill Comics moves

Andrew and Vanessa Neal have moved their Chapel Hill Comics store, but not far. The new store is at 316 West Franklin — the former home of Paint the Earth — just seven doors down from their old place.

The new spot has plenty of additional room and the Neals plan more activities including reading groups, cartooning classes and birthday parties for youngsters.

Chapel Hill Comics recently moved to a new location at 316 W. Franklin St., next to Ham’s and across from the Franklin Hotel.

The store is a locally owned bookstore that specializes in comics and graphic novels, the oldest of its kind in the Triangle area. The new location offers more than twice as much space as the previous Chapel Hill Comics location.

The store was previously located on Rosemary Street, but had been located on West Franklin Street before that, in a smaller space.
