Steve Oto, a
n avid collector of comic books and original art for some 30 years, was a corporate/real estate attorney living in Westchester and commuting to Manhattan who had a crazy vision one day in the early 1990’s. On June 19, 1992, Steve and two friends opened Alternate Realties. They were “three geeks with a dream”. In a very specialized industry such as this, Alternate Realities has managed to stay in business long past many other comic book stores in the area. I personally chalk it up to Steve, his quirky attitude and all around good guy nature are like a magnetic force. Once you step in the store you are a friend for life. Alternate Realities was named Best Comic Book Store in Westchester Magazine in 2004 and Best Comic Book Store in Hudson Valley Magazine in 2005.
Alternate Realities carries comics, both old and new; magazines like Mad; trade paperbacks and hardcovers; action figures; statues and busts; gaming supplies for Yu-Gi-Yo, Magic, Dungeons and Dragons; and prints and posters to name some of the items that pack the store.
Some lines taken from the Wisdom of Steve:
If we don’t have it, you don’t need it.
Collecting takes skill. When you see something that you’ve been hunting for, you can’t hesitate. Buy it because if you hem and haw, it will be gone. Hesitation kills! Don’t be a flat squirrel!
Stop in and experience the magic of Alternate Realities, it will be with you forever.
