Punk Rock and Comic books have made their way to Main Street Acworth, Chris Hamer owner of URBNPOP Comics has brought something new to Cherokee County.
Chris Hamer Atlanta artist and creator of the Scout Comics Adventure of Byron title has opened up a comic book, art and toy store that embodies the indy feel of little 5 points. The shop has featured art for sale by known local artists and serves as a gallery that the public may view. Visiting the shop was fun, thousands of comics lined in rows ready to view, displays full of retro toys and Chris is an encyclopedia of pop art and culture. We discussed old school punk, local arts and upcoming shows. I feel like Chris definitely planted a flag on main street that cool and interesting things are finally coming to Acworth.
