Since 2009, The Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken nerd/pop culture by the hand and lead us down an ever growing world of aliens, androids and wizards, to name just a few. Marvel fans lose sleep trying to figure out what the next plot line for the next movie or tv show will be because of their knowledge of the source material which are the comics. In the world of comic book collecting, to own the complete or near complete volume of a character starting from the Silver Age, is considered quite an accomplishment and definitely gives you big nerd status. As the owner of the new internet comic book store The Black Arachknight, Donald “Spiderman” Thomas, stands out in the crowd. No easy feat, in a very crowded arena of pop culture Youtubers and social media fan clubs. Needing Amazing Spider-Man #1 along with the obligatory Amazing Fantasy #15, Thomas owns and has a display on his website of all other issues of Amazing Spider-Man, all supporting titles, annuals and one shots. As a proud “Black nerd” he also owns the complete Black Panther comic book collection starting with Fantastic Four #52( also displayed on his web site). Finally to put the crown on his nerd credentials, Thomas is a 3 times Guinness Book world record holder in public speaking.
The Black Arachknight is an all inclusive online comic book store that specializes in Spider-Man, Black Panther, Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, other Silver and Modern Age Marvel and DC Universe titles.Knowing the serialized nature of Marvel comics, whenever possible , Thomas will always try and sell complete story arcs.
