Editing Print Mint (section)

=== Berkeley retailer  ===
Don and Alice Schenker started The Print Mint as a picture-framing shop and retailer of posters and fine art reproductions on [[Telegraph Avenue]] in [[Berkeley, California]], in December 1965, originally sharing a store with Moe's Books, but later on moving into a separate location down the block. 

{{anchor|Moe's Books}}Moe's Books owner, Moe Moskowitz, and the Schenkers had been friends back in New York City during the 1950s [[Beat generation|Beat era]], so this association was a continuation of that connection.{{sfn|Estren|1993|p=50, 250}} Schencker's first comic book release was a reprint of [[Joel Beck]]'s self-published ''Lenny of Laredo'', published by the Print Mint in April 1966.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fox |first=M.
