History

Although my friends and I opened the store in 1997 we have collectively been selling old comics since the mid-1970s. We are all past attendees at the earliest San Diego Comic Conventions, the shows where we learned our tradecraft.

Specialties

We sell comic books but we specialize in vintage comics from the 1930s to the 1970s. We are constantly buying collections and see our diversity improve every month. Our display of weekly new comics is comprehensive and draws a lot of customer attention. Our Inventory of trade paperbacks, hardcover books and graphic novels is so large we had to remodel our store and expand just to contain them!
