Comic Store Heroes
National Geographic Channels has picked up UK indie Parthenon Entertainment’s first factual entertainment programme, Comic Store Heroes.
The one-hour doc is set around New York’s Midtown Comics, the biggest comic book store in the US, looking at the comics sub-culture through the eyes of the shop’s staff and customers.
The deal comes weeks after Discovery-owned US cablenet Animal Planet greenlit three one-off natural history docs from Parthenon: Wild Alaska (1x120′); Wild Appalachia; and Wild Hawaii (both 1x60′).
