I had a job in West Des Moines, which seemed like a haul back then. It was my second week living in Des Moines when I drove to the Fleur Cinema to catch a movie and saw a sign for Cup O’ Kryptonite. The first time I stepped inside Cup O’ Kryptonite was the summer of 2007. “The Walking Dead” was not yet a TV series, but its run as a comic book series was going strong. Matt Johnson started Cup O’ Kryptonite in the summer of 2002 with inheritance left to him by his grandmother after she passed away.
