Comic Book Store Tapestries
Description: Launched in 1974, Power Records’ iconic Book & Record sets paired vibrant comic books with immersive audio on 7" or 12" vinyl records. Featuring sound effects, music, and voice acting, these sets brought stories to life for a generation of kids. Today, complete sets in good condition are rare and highly sought-after by collectors due to their nostalgic appeal and cultural significance. Production continued into the early 1980s, leaving behind a treasured legacy of multimedia storytelling.
Description: Time Travelers opened their doors at 1511 2nd Avenue in Downtown Seattle back in 1977 with a focus on everything that parents hate, and it was truly glorious. With a perfect mix of punk records, skateboards, weird comic books, and t-shirts to go along with all of the above, Time Travelers had it all. This was a unique space for the kids who either didn't fit in with the mainstream, or simply didn't want to. Time Travelers managed to exist in what is considered prime real estate nowadays throughout the '80s and into the '90s before exorbitant rent increases made the store's very existence an impossibility.
Description: Beginning in 1974, Power Records produced ‘Book & Record’ sets that included either a 7" 45 rpm record or a 12″ 33 rpm record and a comic book. The record followed along with the comic using sound effects, audio dialogue, and a backing soundtrack. Power Records’ Book & Record sets remain highly desirable collectables, not just due to their pop culture value, but because complete sets with both the record and comic are hard to come by, especially in good condition, as these were loved and well used by children over many years. Power continued to produce these sets until the early '80s.

Description: Power Records released a series of Planet of the Apes stories using their 'Book & Record' format in 1974, each of which covered one of the four films that had been released at the time. Like other Book & Record offerings, the sets included a 45 rpm record and a comic book. The record narrated the comic through sound effects, audio dialogue, and a backing soundtrack. In addition to the 45 rpm versions, a 12" 33 rpm compilation record combining all four Arthur P. Jacobs films adapted by Power Records. Like other Power Records' Book & Record sets, the Planet of the Apes are highly desirable collectables, not just due to their pop culture value, but because complete sets with both the record and comic are hard to come by.
