Salt Lake City— The newly former owner of Dr. Volt’s Comics Connection, David “Dave” Landa, is starting a new chapter in his career. Recently graduated from the University of Utah with his bachelor’s degree in environmental science, Landa will be looking to put his new skills to work instructing the next generation of learners.

“It’s been an honor to serve the comic book community of Utah for so many years! I started as a regular customer of Dr. Volt’s and became the owner because of my love for comics and the bonds the medium creates between fans as we discuss who would win in a fight between the Hulk and Superman,” said Landa. “I will cherish all of the memories, friendships, and great stories we have made over the years. Thanks to everyone who supported the store through good times and bad. It has always meant the world to me. I believe I’m leaving you in very capable and caring hands.”

The new owners are Charles & Roger Prows, owners of The NERD Store in West Valley City. Enthusiastic comic book fans themselves, the Prows leapt at the chance to take ownership of Utah’s oldest comic book store.

“Dave has been a pillar of ‘geek culture’ in Utah for a long time. We love Dave and are sad to see him go. We wish him the best of luck in his new career.” said Charles Prows. “We are very excited to continue to deliver excellent customer service, attention to detail, and a wide selection of products that customers of Dr. Volt’s and The NERD Store have come to expect.”

Hold customers of Dr. Volt’s will see no interruption in their comic book subscription services as well as any orders made for products.
