With a digital colorist promoting a new comic book, cosplay enthusiasts looking as if they stepped out of a fantasy calendar, Beta testing of a table-top role-playing game up front, and tournaments of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Star War's X-Wing in back, Galactic Comics & Games' grand opening at its new location became a mini fan convention. The big event was Saturday, but Galactic had moved in Dec. 2 from its old digs on Sielbald Street to the new location at 20 East Vine St. Measuring roughly 6,000 square feet, including almost 3,000 in the showroom, the new place doubles the usable shopping and play space for a business that seems as much an activity center as a store. "Before, your favorite book or your favorite game may have been buried," said Galactic Comics & Games owner Keith Brown.
