## Resource

John Dolmayan has shut down his iconic Las Vegas comic shop, Torpedo Comics, after nearly a decade — but the brand isn’t disappearing. The physical store, Nevada’s largest collectibles retailer, is gone, but the online shop at torpedocomics.com remains open, preserving Dolmayan’s rare and vintage comic collection. Founded from his lifelong passion, Torpedo Comics began when he was a teen selling comics before System of a Down fame — even taking a pay cut to join the band. Dolmayan, who once had comic artists design his drum kit and authored his own series, wanted a single, magical comic haven — not a chain. Now, with the online platform, he’s adapting while keeping the fantasy alive for collectors. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
