What Makes Chris Bischoff with Fan-tastic Cards & Comics a good Neighbor?
When Chris Bischoff moved to North Carolina with his family just before the pandemic, he was looking for a way to connect with his new community. The answer? Turn a lifelong passion for comics, cards, and games into a thriving local business. Now approaching its third anniversary, Fan-tastic Cards and Comics has become much more than just a store—it's a gathering place where enthusiasts feel they belong.
During this heartfelt conversation with host Skip Mauney, Chris pulls back the curtain on the comic book industry, challenging the notion that Marvel and DC are the only sources of compelling stories. He introduces listeners to the vibrant world of indie comics, where creators explore unique narratives like "Bigfoot Loose"—a tale about the legendary creature trying to live peacefully in Appalachia while evading government hunters. For those who think comics are just about superheroes, Chris's infectious enthusiasm reveals the medium's incredible diversity.
The episode takes a powerful turn when Chris shares his experience serving in the Army from 2009 to 2014, including a tour in Afghanistan where he lost his commander, Captain Pace. This profound loss taught him enduring lessons about resilience and honoring those who shaped his journey. "The best you can do is remember who you lost and make the best effort to prevent it from happening again," Chris reflects. "The only way to learn is to keep going." His philosophy—remembering what was lost while continuing to move forward—now informs both his personal outlook and business approach. When asked what makes his store special, Chris's answer is simple yet profound: "We care about what you care about." Whether you're a longtime collector or curious newcomer, this episode will change how you think about comics, community, and turning personal passion into purpose.

where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Skip Monty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to the Good Neighbor Podcast of East
Tennessee and Western NorthCarolina.
So I am very excited today tohave an interesting guest who's
never been in the studio beforewith us and very excited to
learn all about them and theircompany.
And I'm sure you will be too,because today I have the
pleasure of introducing yourgood neighbor, Mr Chris Bischoff
(00:31):
, who is co -owner of FantasticCards and Comics.
Chris, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Thank you very much, skip, glad to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
We're thrilled to have you and, like I said, I
showed you the hammer earlier.
I'm a Marvel fan and I hope youare too, but I'm really excited
to learn all about yourbusiness.
So, if you don't mind, whydon't you kick us off by telling
us what you do?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
All right.
Well, we are Fantastic Cardsand Comics, we are a comic book
store, a sports card store, andwe're expanding into trading
card games.
We have a large selection ofMarvel, dc and indie comic books
indies actually really pickingup popularity uh, breaking away
from the other series.
Um, sports cards uh are quitepopular in the area.
(01:14):
We were the first sports cardstore uh in asheville, after the
previous locations had shutdown for several years.
Um, and after trading cardgames just popular demand, we
started carrying JapanesePokemon cards and we've expanded
into Magic and we're exploringother card games.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Very cool.
Well, tell us about yourjourney.
How did you end up here?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Okay, well, so it requires a little bit of
backstory.
I'm not originally from here.
(02:00):
I'm from a town that no one'sever heard of called Hamler,
ohio, and about a year beforethe pandemic we moved down to
North Carolina.
Or I moved down to NorthCarolina and me and my family
were like you know what wereally like Asheville, what can
we do to sort of like fit intothe area?
And we sort of thought of, likewe've always wanted to have a
business, emily's always wantedto have a comic book store, I've
always wanted to have a gamestore, and so we figured the
best way to start would be to gowith like comic books and
(02:22):
sports cards, get ourselvesinitiate like sort of of
established, and then sort ofexpand and grow with the
community from there.
Um, very cool yeah then here youare and here we are, uh two and
a half years running now.
We've been open since, uh 20november of 22.
(02:43):
Um, so it will be three yearsthis November, or it's actually
more than two and a half years.
Now we're a lot closer toNovember than I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, Congratulations , by the way.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Thank you and yeah, the community has been very
supportive and they've beengiving us everything we need and
more to give, to give back tothe community and things that
they want.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Awesome, awesome.
Well, and I love comic bookstores.
I'm a comic book guy.
I grew up, uh you know, in theseventies reading, uh, what are
you know as now?
The Marvel universe, all thesemovies coming out and that came
out, the Avengers and Thor, andall that so big fan.
What are some myths ormisconceptions in your in the
(03:35):
comic book industry?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay, in the comic book industry, one of the
biggest myths would be that thebest comic books come from
Marvel and DC.
Not not throwing any shade atMarvel and DC they are great
comic book companies, right.
But there are some stories thatMarvel and DC probably won't
(03:59):
tell, right, like a lot of themare superhero based or you know
it's.
You're following superheroes.
But indie books.
You have lots of differentstyles of indie books.
You have books with completelynormal people going through
unnormal situations, completelyoff the wall scenarios that
wouldn't normally fit in theaverage spider-man or batman
(04:22):
book, like uh, one of the uh.
There's a new indie book that'scalled bigfoot loose.
It's a story about bigfoot, wholoves appalachia and is being
hunted by the government whiletrying to just live his life in
Appalachia.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Hmm Interesting.
I would be interested in thatactually.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
So, like there's that one, there's a ton of ton of
really good stories.
Saga has been going on foryears and it's one of the best
indie books probably out therebest indie books probably out
there.
But the thing about the indiebooks is they usually have, like
(05:06):
, things that normally wouldn'tgo well in corporate reading.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Gotcha, gotcha, very interesting.
I'm not heard of indie,although I used to.
When I was a kid I had.
You know I would buy comicbooks at the comic book store,
at the newsstand and also atyard sales and stuff, and still
do I see one that I'm like, ooh.
But I read some independents.
I guess they were independentback then.
I think Stan Lee might havebeen involved in them, but they
(05:31):
weren't Marvel.
They were, you know, olderhorror, more horror type comic
books.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah there's a lot of horror that is made in the
indie scene because there's alot of horror tropes and ideas
that don't translate well to aMarvel or DC story.
That's not to say that theydon't have them.
Marvel has Red Label and DC hasBlack Label, but you don't
really hear much about thembecause they're not the
(05:58):
mainstream versions of marveland dc right gotcha the closest
I could.
One of the ones I could thinkfor that would be the batman who
laughs.
Um, that is a dc series, uh,black label.
I think it was originally likedark metal, um, but it's a story
about a multiversal batman whois actually infected by the
(06:18):
Joker, with the Joker serum, wow.
So imagine Bruce Wayne now withthe insanity of the Joker going
around either converting oreliminating Batmans through
other universes.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Universes.
Wow, very cool, very cool.
Well, and the interestingquestion here, because what you
do would be fun for me, I'm sureit is for you too, but outside
of work, what do you like to dofor fun?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
So I like to play games video games, card games
I've been playing magic since Iwas going to say I was nine
years old Pokemon.
I've been collecting since thatages me.
I've been collecting when theset came out because I was like
(07:05):
seven at the time.
So it's interesting havingthese kids coming in with like,
oh man, I've got this vintagecollection of these really old
cards and I see cards that Iopened as a kid, like that that
stings, yeah, Wow.
But I also do.
I also do crafting.
(07:27):
I've been working onblacksmithing and woodworking
and I like reading lots of books.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Reading.
Now, that's unique these days.
People don't generally readthese days, unfortunately, they
like to watch videos.
But yeah, if days People don'tgenerally read, these days,
unfortunately, they like towatch videos.
But, if you're a comic book guy, you got to read.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
You got to read, and if you're trying to get kids to
read, I think comic books arethe best way to do it.
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Absolutely.
I used to spend hours and hours.
Of course, there was nointernet when I was a kid too.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
So you course, there was no internet when I was a kid
too.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
So you know, yeah, you didn't have minecraft and
fortnite to keep you company.
Well, you know, yeah, anddidn't even, uh didn't even have
uh pac-man or galaga oranything like that until I was
probably 17, so you know, thatwas a whole brand new that was
in a cabinet, in an arcade.
You know you had to gosomewhere for that one, and you
had to pay to play too.
So so real switch gears.
Can you describe a hardship ora life challenge that you've
(08:25):
overcome and how it made youstronger on the other side?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
so do you life challenge like in like with the
business or just in general?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
In general, but professionally or personally.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
All right.
So I was in the army for a fewyears 2009 to 2014, and I did a
tour over in Afghanistan.
And I did a tour over inAfghanistan and when I was there
, I was assigned to a unit and Ireally liked my commander at
(09:09):
the time.
His name was Captain Pace andhe got shot down and I lost
probably one of the bestexamples of leadership I had at
(09:32):
a time when I was starting totry and become a leader myself.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm sure that was devastating.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It was.
You can move on Just because itfeels like the world is ending
and everything is going.
All the crap is hitting the fanthat anyone could ever throw at
it.
The world keeps spinning andthe best you can do is remember
(10:08):
who you lost, what you lost, andmake the best effort you can to
prevent it from happening again, Because the only way to learn
is to keep going.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Absolutely, absolutely, and I'm sure you
know you took a lot away fromthis guy as far as what he was
you know, his leadership abilityI'm sure you absorbed as much
of that and honors him when youutilize that.
I guess yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I.
I think a lot to the peoplethat helped me become who I am
in the army and all the people,and after the army as well,
after the army as well, um, andthe best I can do for the people
(10:59):
is be the best version ofmyself I can be and and that's
the best, that's the best thingI could do every day.
Just be the best version I can.
You know, and sometimes it'sokay to not be the best you know
, but don't beat yourself upwhen you're not, you know,
because this is, this issomething that, if you think of
(11:19):
yourself as a machine, youwouldn't run a machine at 100,
24, 7, that's great.
You going to wear it out,you're going to break it.
You got to sometimes slow down.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Absolutely.
We're all human.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Absolutely Very good.
