The Celtic Gypsey

Al 'N Ann's Collectibles was a beloved store in McHenry, IL, founded by John Alan Al Armstrong and celebrated for its vibrant community engagement over two decades. The shop became a hub for comic book enthusiasts and collectors, hosting popular events like Free Comic Book Day and memorable visits from local personalities such as Svengoolie. After 20 years of operation, the Armstrong family announced their retirement at the end of December 2014, expressing gratitude to their loyal customers and the friendships built throughout the years. This retirement marked the end of an era for a store that had become a cherished part of the local culture. Generated from the website
