[1] Carlos Mann worked for a few years at newsstands, until he decided to buy his own in 1986, at Alameda Lorena, in the Jardins neighborhood, in São Paulo.
[2][3] With the success, the store, already called Comix, started to sell collectible card game, which made the space full on Saturdays.
With around 40,000 national and foreign items, on the first floor are the main publications and various materials related to comics, such as films, collectible figures and toy arts.
The following year, the store's revenue (including participation with its own booth in events such as the Book Fairs in Rio and São Paulo, FIQ, among others) was R$ 1.5 million.
In this first edition, which took place on the street in front of the store, 200 people attended to buy with high discounts, participate in launches and meet artists and personalities, such as Álvaro de Moya, André Diniz, Eugenio Colonnese, Franco de Rosa, Fábio Zimbres, Lourenço Mutarelli, Marcatti and Wellington Srbek, among many others.
