An international nod to their Israeli comics stores made Danny Amitai and Yuval Sharon superheroes.
"Owning a comic shop, and working in a comic shop, is my dream job because it's my hobby and I love it," says Danny Amitai, co-owner of Tel Aviv-based Comics N' Vegetables. "I love comic books and it's just great."
"We started as a little website," adds co-owner Yuval Sharon, "then we decided that we have to open a store."
When the Israeli duo won the 2011 Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award (http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_eisners_spirit.php) in San Diego, California, the presenter said: "I am very, very happy to tell you there's going to be dancing in the streets of Israel tonight."
"Yes, it's pretty nice," acknowledges Sharon.
