The Eisner Spirit Award used to be a lifetime title, awarded to a comic book store from anywhere in the world for "doing an outstanding job of supporting the comic art medium, both in the industry at large, and in their local community."

Madrid's Akira Comics store achieved the award back in 2012, and this year, thanks to a change in the rules, the store was once again in the finals to win the Eisner Spirit Award for a second time. This year, it was the only store amongst the finalists that wasn't from the US.

In today's broadcast, Jesús Marugán, one of the store's owners, takes us on a tour of the internationally renowned comic book store upon his return from San Diego Comic-Con.
