What collectors say
★★★★★
“One of the newer comic stores (2011) in the Bay Area, since it’s rare to have new stores nowadays. Great back issue and very large trade paper selections, friendly staff with a comfortable environment to hang out.”
★★★★★
“I’ve been to comic book stores all around the world and this is definitely among the ones I’ve liked best. Tons of stuff to browse, from Silver and Bronze Age classics to out of print TPB’s and hardcovers, manga and whatever you may think of. Great discounts too, and a very kind staff! 10/10!!”
★★★★★
“Nice friendly staff, with a great selection of progressive and diverse comics. Picked up a comic on the Black Panther Party, An Indigenous History of United States, and a few others.”
★★★★★
“An amazing journey back in time. Few places like this exist anymore and even fewer with an owner filled with passion about comic books. Worth a visit even if you are not into comics.”
