Last Friday, we featured a self-portrait of Charlotte artist, Dustin Harbin. So, we visit Spider-Man & Doc Ock engaged in an epic battle inside Heroes Aren't Hard to Find, where Dustin used to work. Charlotte's friendly neighborhood comic shop was first opened in 1980 by 26-year-old Shelton Drum and founded HeroesCon in 1982, one of the longest-running and most respected comic book conventions in the country.

[**Last Friday, we featured a self-portrait of Charlotte artist, Dustin Harbin, in a mural he painted inside Free Range Brewery**](https://www.charlotteiscreative.com/where-are-we-in-clt-free-range-brewing/). So, it seems on the money to share a photo of Spider-Man & Doc Ock engaged in an epic battle inside **Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find**, the Charlotte comic book emporium where Dustin used to work.

Charlotte’s friendly neighborhood comic shop was first opened in 1980 by 26-year-old Shelton Drum and founded HeroesCon in 1982, one of the longest-running and most respected comic book conventions in the country. If you haven’t hit this “O.G. CLT” treasure yet, swing on by … especially on Wednesdays. That’s new comic book day.
