This place is probably low-key historically awesome. There are probably at least 40 years of back issues here. It took about ten minutes for the guy to re-arrange some boxes to get to the two boxes I needed but he knew exactly where everything was. This is NOT a place you can walk in and browse old issues leisurely.
Visited Clyde’s from out of town and had a great experience. Owner was standing outside the store and welcomed us in. Definitely worth a visit! Things to keep in mind: - Huge array of back issues from DC, Marvel, and independent. New issues also available. - Owner will pull comics out for you by request.
I was in the area for a family emergency and had some time to burn, so I decided to go to some of the local comic shops. Clyde's was one of those shops. Wholly comic books, Batman! It reminded me of a shop I used to go to when I was a kid, where it was a huge mishmash, and only the owner knew where everything was.
Another hidden Rockford gem! What a great store, you can spend hours in here looking through back issues of obscure comics. They had really nostalgic stuff from my youth that I wish they kept in print, like old Wizard and scrye magazines.
