First time here and I’ll definitely be coming back soon! The environment inside feels like I’m truly stepping back in time. I just recent got interested in collecting 80s comics, so this is the place to be! Wish I could give 10 stars!

It's the kind of place that makes you a regular. The prices are sweet. They have cool comics, used X-Box games (in surprisingly good condition), DVDs and toys that will take you back. I enjoy every visit and it's always worth the trip. ✌️ 🤓✨

One of the best comic book shops I’ve been to in my 40 years on earth - top notch. Clean, organized, lots of extras like games and records. Great prices too. Highly recommended.
