Legend has it that somewhere deep within the catacombs of Shoppers World Mall in Brampton, where our shop – Stadium Comics – is located, lies a chamber which holds inside of it untold comic and pop-culture related riches.

This same legend also states that this chamber holds within it unspeakable horrors attributed to what the room was previously used for. It was nicknamed ‘The Dungeon’ by those familiar with the legend. We, the owners of Stadium Comics, have neither confirmed nor denied the existence of The Dungeon… until now.

The legends are true, dear friends. The Dungeon exists. Today, despite warnings from out team of lawyers to the contrary, we will show you what only a handful of people have ever seen.

Contrary to popular folk tales and lore, the Dungeon is not located in the basement of Stadium Comics. Our store has no back room, and no basement. To reach The Dungeon you must make the arduous trek across the mall, past the food court, and through the Mines of Moria, to find a locked, non-descript, and strangely isolated door.

If you’re heart be true, and you carry with you the ancient enchanted runes, you will be granted access to the mall’s catacombs. We’ve heard tales of a strange device known as a ‘key’ that supposedly works really well too.

Upon opening the door, you are immediately taken aback by the rush of an odd breeze against your face. The air is stale and desperate, seemingly trying to escape the hell of the catacombs for the freedom of the mall, and the reasonably priced shopping that lies beyond the locked door.

You are presented with your first obstacle: The Devil’s Staircase. Tread carefully, as many brave men and women have met their untimely end navigating these very stairs. The steep decline is especially troubling when carrying a heavy longbox full of comics. With each step down, the air grows colder and heavier.

Breathing a deep sigh of relief at the bottom of the stairs, your gag reflex kicks in. There is an awful taste in the air. Is it death itself? Asbestos perhaps? No time to think of that now – your objective is in sight. Down at the end of a long corridor lies… The Dungeon.

To be continued...
