Extras show only when a shop's reviews or its own website mention them; the proof is on each shop's page. A dash doesn't mean a shop lacks it.

What Rockford shoppers say

Toad Hall Books and Records

Great selection of records, books, comics - you name it. Fair prices and good people

★★★★★ Amanda, Apr 2025

Matt's Basement: Anime, Comics, and More

Matt has a great array of Anime related products ranging from figures to stickers, body pillows, etc. For the comic-ally inclined he also has a room dedicated to long boxes filled with comics! Along with a wall of comic keys at the register! Something cool is he sells laser engraved spoons, coasters, and Bottles!

★★★★★ Richard, Aug 2022

Clyde's Comic & Fantasy Shop

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.
