Locals rally for struggling comic book shop
Like many Bay Ridge businesses, Galaxy Comics is suffering financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Abdulilah Esa, owner of the shop at 6823 Fifth Ave., discussed the hardships the pandemic has brought upon the store.
“My friends and customers were calling me when we were in quarantine and they were asking how the store was doing,” he said. “I told them there’s no income whatsoever. I owe four months of rent. We may not be able to make it because we are not making any money.”
