OU grad makes comics his life

Abstract

From a young age, Lauren Becker, CAS ’94, has been collecting comics and collectible toys—it was a hobby that helped pay for his English degree from Oakland University. After the death of Superman in the DC comics in 1992, Becker made $10,000 in one day and decided then to open a store and make it his business. Becker opened his first store in Clawson nine years ago. This fall, he opened another location of Warp 9 in the Auburn Square shopping center, located at the northeast corner of Squirrel and Walton roads.
