Almost a stockbroker, now a comic store owner

Mike Banks, owner and operator of Samurai Comics

Mike Banks had a crazy year in 2002: He had a stockbroker job disappear from under his feet, and then got married, had a kid, and opened his own business, all in one year.

Today, Samurai Comics is three stores strong, and you can learn what Banks has learned over at icv2.
