In his cramped and cluttered retail space, the comic book vendor decried a lack of taste and class in modern society, attributed his dwindling revenue to a rising 'Latin' population, and berated his customers with a gruffness that belied his kind interior. Jay often said he planned to die in his booth.

The Jay Meisel Story documents Jay's final days at his weekend home of 35 years. Written by Anonymous See less
