Anthony "Tony" F. Davis is the owner of The Million Year Picnic, the oldest comic book store in New England and one of the longest-standing comic specialty stores in the United States. Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, The Million Year Picnic was originally established in 1974 by Jerry Norton Weist and Chuck Wooley — one of the first comic book specialty stores in North America, named for a short story in Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles. Under Davis's ownership, the store has continued its decades-long tradition of serving the Cambridge and Greater Boston comics community.
