For me it was a guy named Rob who worked at a video game arcade comic book store in town. He was probably about 20 so he seemed like a full adult but looking back on it he was still figuring his stuff out. Rob would let me and friends read any of the old used comics for as long as we wanted. He had a raised “employee’s only” in the corner of the shop that felt like it was truly a magical area. (It wasn’t, it was just a cashier area with an old shitty chair) He would talk to us like real human beings and treat us with the respect of older than our young years. Several times he would watch us struggling with a game gobbling up our quarters, and told us to stick around after closing. Rob would open the game change area and showed us where to flick for unlimited credits - then let us play until we finished it He was ultra cool and never inappropriate, would talk to us about girls and comic books and games. Rob drove a cool old 70s Camaro. It wasn’t in great shape but man it was cool. He would close up and wave us bye. Thanks Rob, you were great. What figures in your past when you were 10 years old really stood out as super cool? submitted by /u/Holeshot75
