ME And KC Comics ME And KC Comics began as a business fi ve years ago but it grew out of Michelle Eason’s love for collecting comics. She has a large collection going back to Silver Age Comics. Her favorite comic is Amazing Spiderman and with that love she was inspired to start this business to sell some of her collection in order to purchase Amazing Spiderman number 1. Eason loves to talk to customers about comics and trade stories about the series and issues. “Even if a person is not a collector, seeing the comics often brings back great memories. Everyone loves Archie,” she said. Sam’s Ice Cream twitter.com/friedicecreamny Sam’s Ice Cream started selling its product in 2011 at local street fairs in Manhattan. Since then it has gained much popularity, obtaining a large customer following through its website and social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook and Yelp). What makes its product distinct is the “hot and cold” experience. The outer, crispy layer maintains the frozen ice cream fi lling while being served.
