Golden Apple Comics is a small chain of comic book stores with branches in Hollywood and Northridge, California. The store's original owner, Bill Liebowitz, was a yo-yo champion in the 1950s, a co-founder of Rhino Records, and had recurring roles as himself in Archie Comics. Liebowitz was well known for hosting signings by comic book artists and writers, as well as for his anti-censorship activism. After Liebowitz' death in 2004, his widow, Sharon, and son took over the business and continue to run the stores.
The shop has been featured in many film projects, including Weird Al Yankovic's "White & Nerdy" video, Stoomie's "Two For a Tenner - Yes Please (Melrose Edit)" video, and (perhaps most prominently) in the movie Free Enterprise (1998) were Sharon played herself.
Blair Butler, G4TV's resident comic expert, often hosts her segment of Attack Of The Show, called "Fresh Ink," at the Golden Apple.
It was also featured in an episode of the short-lived NBC crime drama, Raines, in which an up and coming comic artist who frequented Golden Apple Comics was murdered.
