==Production history==
''Comic Store Heroes'' is set in Midtown Comics in Manhattan, the largest comic book store in the United States.〔Kaplan, Don (June 25, 2012). ("It’s a geek drama" ). ''New York Post''.〕 Described as a one hour documentary about comic book subculture, the program focuses on the interactions between the devoted and sometimes obsessive comics aficionados that form the store's customer base, and the store's staff,〔Ritchie, Kevin (June 28, 2012). ("Nat Geo acquires 'Comic Store Heroes'" ). Real Screen.〕 specifically Gerry Gladston, one of the store's five co-founders, and two of his employees, marketing manager Thor Parker, and pricing expert Alex Rae. Parker and Rae's competition for Gladston's attention will constitute some of the conflict in the narratives. Other plot points will include Gladston assigning Rae the task of tracking down a difficult-to-find copy of the comic book that began his childhood love of comics, ''Hot Stuff: The Little Devil'' #1,〔〔(Videos: "The Challenge" ). National Geographic Channel. Retrieved June 29, 2012.〕 and the store's preparation of their booth at the New York Comic Con.〔("Comic Shop Featured in Reality Show" ). ICv2. June 19, 2012.〕 Customers spotlighted include comics blogger/journalist Jill Pantozzi,〔Pantozzi, Jill (February 7, 2009). ("The Nerdy Bird flies around NYCC, Day 1" ). Comic Book Resources〕 who was diagnosed at age 2 with spinal muscular atrophy, and interacts with others through her love of the comics medium. Another customer is Chris Notarile, a 20-something aspiring comic book creator who lives on food stamps in order to devote his money to developing his character, The Protector.〔〔
The program is British production company Parthenon Entertainment’s first U.S.-based factual entertainment production. Parthenon Director of Production Danny Tipping comments on the subject matter's appeal, "The world of comic book super fans is both fascinating and surprising. You don’t have to be a fan of comic books to appreciate what some of the most devoted fans will do to make their dreams come true, and some collections are bought and sold for millions of dollars."〔
Regarding comparison's to Kevin Smith reality series ''Comic Book Men'', Midtown's Parker comments, "We're fans of Kevin’s show and what it brings to the table, but we wanted to take things in a different direction. We wanted to try and work () the typical stereotypes about comic book fans and show that comics and the comic community have the ability to help people find acceptance, become part of an extremely welcoming family, and really make a difference in people’s lives."〔Fama, Russell (June 2, 2012).
