This movie was originally available in a VHS format.
The DVD was released in 2002.
The following quote (not mine) basically sums up what the movie is about:
"Told from the point of view from Archie, a comic book collector,
this is the story of a rivalry between two comic book shop owners.

Eileen Brennan, way long ago from LAUGH IN and PRIVATE BENJAMIN, has the best lines in this film when she asks DJ Qualls if he likes funny books. In a movie about obsessive comic book fans and collectors, it sums up the banality of the obsession. COMIC BOOK VILLAINS starts out in a fairly light vein, with some funny scenes and then turns bleakly dark, and by the end of the movie, you feel like you need Prozac. Another lesser known film, STRANGER THAN FICTION, did this funny to horrifying segue, and ... Read More
