What Elgin shoppers say

Thom's Comics & Collectibles

Thom is very nice and helpful. I saw a lot of comics that I've been wanting and some I've never seen before. I also, saw some comics that were cheaper at Thom's than from what I have seen on- line. He also had some recommendations that I didn't see (but will be going back for).

Black Cat Books Inc.

Great bookstore! The staff were very helpful and easy to talk to. They gave great recommendations on books. They also have a community puzzle to work on and a nice sitting space. They sell puzzles, books, comic books and store merch and I had an amazing shopping experience there.
