Oddly enough, I believe they're the same people behind the Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. (http://www.greenwoodspacetravelsupply.com/), right here in Jet City. :)
If you're traveling, you may also want to check out their other franchises (http://www.greenwoodspacetravelsupply.com/links.html), as well...
(The Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co., the Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co., and the other stores shown on that link are, as the page helpfully points out, "part of 826 National, a nation-wide organization of writing and tutoring centers fronted by unique stores." Basically, they sell silly stuff and use the money to help teach kids reading and writing skills. Basically, they're made of unadulterated awesome. More on 826 Seattle and 826 National can be found here (http://www.826seattle.org/about/).)
If you're ever in San Francisco, be sure to check out the original and flagship operation, the 826 Valencia Pirate Supply Store (http://www.826valencia.org).
Actually, I'm sort of surprised you don't already know about the 826 stores. They're actually a non-profit that uses the money from the silly stores to fund writing education programs for public schoolkids in their various cities. And they're always looking for volunteers...
