What Chicago shoppers say
If you’re a comic book fan, Graham Crackers Comics in the Loop is a must-visit! The store has an amazing selection of comics, graphic novels, and collectibles. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer great recommendations whether you’re a longtime reader or just getting started.
Excellent comic shop with a huge choice of graphic novels. Also a very wide collection of zines. Staff propose a lot of discoveries.
What a cool store! I loved the experience of walking through the alley (don’t worry not a car alley!) to get to the storefront. TONS of comics, manga, and more! In the summertime, they have seating outside and sale items outside too. And for you tabletop nerds they have die, chips, and figure paint!
