Retail Beat: Lowell, MA's Larry's Comics,

Retail Beat covers retailer anniversaries, special events, promotions, media coverage, and other accomplishments.

• Lowell, MA's Larry's Comics and its owner, Larry Doherty, were featured in the October 22 issue of Massachusetts' Exeter News-Letter in the Patrick Cronin-written article, "Comics reverse the curse?" The article detailed Doherty's work with Jetpack Press to create limited editions of Jetpack's Johnny Raygun, Arcana Studios' Ant, and Diversity Comics' Samurai Raccoon featuring "Reverse the Curse" covers, in reference to the Boston Red Sox's seeming 86-year curse against the New York Yankees, stemming from the Red Sox's decision to trade baseball great Babe Ruth to their adversaries (read the article here).
