Words & Pictures is a very big store, possibly the biggest in the city, with a huge and awesome selection of comics, toys, and collectibles. It offers vintage back issues, new issues, comics by local creators, a young reader section, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, manga, figures, games, and supplies. The staff is nice, super friendly, helpful, kind, thoughtful, and well-read. They provide excellent recommendations and insight, help find anything wanted, and are very attentive. The prices are very fair. They offer a subscription service and a special-order service for comics. This place is a gem and is highly recommended for anyone looking for a great comic shop.
We absolutely love this comic book store and the people running it! We have an account with them, so all the new issues we want are always saved for us. Lot of books and back issues in store. The monthly visit we do is always our best time! 🙏
