Best comic store in Buffalo. I've been going here for years and the owner is always very helpful and kind. Great place to stop if you are just passing through but also great for regulars if you are looking to do subscriptions. It seems like he remembers everyone that stops by.

I have been a patron of Emil's since 1973. Over the years I have purchased 100s of comics from him. He always gives me a great deal~ ALWAYS! Never had a bad experience with him. Recently I've been making it a habit to visit the shop more frequently and have been happier ever since.

On holiday from London and just finished breakfast when this comic store caught my eye. I’m not even into comics, just passing time, but I walked out with a paperback from the owner’s own collection and a Buffalo comic called Rustbelt that he gifted me- its front cover art designed by his father. What a store.

Emil and Justin always take care of me when I come in. I Read some of these lower rated reviews--must be kids that dont know how to converse in society because these guys dont ever make anyone feel awkward or uncomfortable. Glad I found these guys.
