Decades-Old Business, As Classic As Its Wares, Will Close This Summer: Report

WALTHAM, MA — A fixture of Waltham’s business scene for over 40 years, the Outer Limits is going out of business.

The comic book store sells and buys “gold and silver age” titles as well as modern comic publications, paperbacks, graphic novels, toys, lunchboxes and other pop culture collectibles. But owner Steve Higgins will shutter the shop July 31 when he retires, MassLive.com reported.

“Business has been great,” he said. However, he wants to spend more time with his family and plans to travel.

The shop at 437 Moody St. in downtown Waltham opened its doors in 1983. The name is taken from a popular sci-fi TV show that aired in the early 1960s, and often compared to “The Twilight Zone.”
