Not even Superman could rescue Third Planet Comics & Games from this recession.

The popular Torrance comic book and gaming store will close on Monday after about 13 years in business.

"The deciding factor in this decision is that sales have fallen to a level where we can no longer meet our obligations," owner Robert North wrote to customers in an e-mail the day after Christmas.

In the message, North also wrote that his employees "fought valiantly over this past year" to keep the store in business.

In June of last year, North put the store, at 3631 Pacific Coast Highway, up for sale with an asking price of $130,000, but could not sell the store.
