Had a fantastic chat with the owner; they gave us a personal tour of the toilet seat collection and a lot of suggestions for what to see in SF

Great atmosphere, extremely knowledgable and helpful owner, great selection, and a very nice rental system. Highly recommend to anybody who reads comics regularly or is looking to start.

Love Isotope! I've visited four times now and find something amazing every time. The collection is super diverse, and there's something for everyone. I've sent 4 of my friends here and they've all found something they love thanks to the owner, James, who has excellent suggestions.

The best comic book store in the whole f* world! James is the best curator. Just give him a random topic or comic genre you like and let him do his magic for you. ;-)

Does Isotope do pull lists and if so, is there a deposit?

Yes, there are pull lists and no deposit is required. In fact, regular customers get a discount!

As of March 31st 2021 - We are currently only doing doorside service and not open for indoor browsing. Masks and social distancing required, of course. We will be allowing customers back inside the store in limited numbers once the staff, our regulars, and (most importantly) our immuno-compromised customers are all fully vaccinated. Hopefully not long now...!

Perhaps! Send us a PDF preview in an email to take a look at & also all the various details we’d need to know about purchasing.

Does isotope buy comics?

Isotope only sells new comics & we don’t buy used or vintage comics. We don’t grade old comics & don’t keep up with the used market so we wouldn’t even know what a fair price for your vintage comics would be. Fortunately the Bay Area has lots of other stores who do deal in vintage comics and could give you a better idea about what you have. Best of luck!

Who gives the best prices for usedcomics in s.f.

James Ryan | Aug 25, 2019

No idea. We don't deal in used or vintage comics so definitely not us! You could try Amazing Adventures or Comix Experience, I believe they still deal in used comics.

If I’m starting to read comics but I only want to read a certain series such as guardians of the falexy what are some good comic books? “Marvel”

If you can come by the store to talk some more we'd be happy to offer you a recommendation based on your preferences. I enjoyed Chip Zdarsky's Star Lord, but thats different from the classic Guardians. Are you looking for series that inspired the movies or more of the cosmic side of Marvel?

Hello, Do you sell Artist Editions or Gallery Edition or any book reproducing the original art of comic books liake that? (actually I`m looking for the Ronin Gallery Edition and the Sin City Gallery Edition. Gretings.

We do carry Artist / Artifact / Gallery Editions! But sadly we do not have RONIN or SIN CITY GALLERY EDITIONs at the moment. If you can't find one around town we can probably put them on a rush order for you (those usually arrive in a week). PS That RONIN GALLERY EDITION is absolutely gorgeous!

Yes we do! However if you are looking strictly for Manga we suggest visiting our nearby friends at the Kinokuniya Bookstore, the biggest and best Manga store in the USA.
