AlleyCat Comics

★★★★★

“Alley Cat Comics is a true hidden gem! Everyone working there is incredibly kind, welcoming, attentive, and very knowledgeable. They have an amazing selection, and I was thrilled to find a comic I had been searching for that was very rare. One of the best surprises was their quiet courtyard tucked away from the street. It has tables and chairs where you can sit, relax, and read your new comic in peace. It felt almost magical. The shop is also connected to an ice cream shop, so grabbing a comic, enjoying some ice cream, and reading outside makes for a perfect afternoon. I’ll definitely be coming back. I highly recommend Alley Cat Comics!”

“It’s in the late summer I popped by this super cute little place. I enjoyed my experience walking through the slim alley entrance with curiosity and then found this special place. The store is very organized, bright, and clean. There are seating area in the courtyard to read or chill. Love it and would like to stop by again.”

“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! They even converted a room into witchy or spooky theme items. Played great music while I was there too. Give them a try!”

“Always a wonderful experience shopping here, and a fantastic selection of old and new. Love the table of new comics to check out, as well as the recommendations near the door. Always a good vibe, always a fun playlist on the speakers, and hands down the best comic store in Chicago. I adore this place.”
