Overview
In 1992, Steve Oto embarked upon a journey from lawyer to comic book retailer. It has been a journey filled with accomplishment and disappointment, friendship and heartbreak, and a dream that would become a nightmare. This documentary shines a light on the unlikely community that has developed at Alternate Realities--one comprised of customers and employees more colorful than even the pages of a comic book.
