With comics dating back to the 1950s, Comic & Card Collectorama is every collector's dream. It's hard to imagine let alone find stores like this anymore. This shop is classic. With comics and novelty items of all the old time favorites and some of the newer characters, moving through this shop can be something like a treasure hunt. Many of these items are antiques and in original wrapping. There is also an array of exotic indoor plants, which are for sale. The owner is friendly with a true passion for his store.
