Always a lovely experience. Ridiculous selection of comics. Always have what I need, the people who work here are also very pleasant. Love it here.

One of the world’s great comic shops. Massive selection, but it takes time to peruse the shelves because they’re packed so full!

The man who works there Saturday and Sundays treats customers like trash. He needs help or whoever runs the business should talk some sense into him for not only lying but also bringing up attitude and insulting me. Been shopping here for almost a year and a half now and he has been the worst aspect of it by far. PS. I never stole, they only assumed it and kicked me out because I'm black, of course they do that to the only diverse member in their shop. Says something about their customer service.

Yes, but only pre-1976. They have a glut of comics from 1977 to present, so they won't buy those.
