The best place to go for comic books in probably all of the state of Illinois
May 2024
Small but well-stocked comic shop with a decent-sized selection of back issues and current run comics, with a smaller collection of new Hardcover and Paperback books in the front of the store, rounded out with a handful of collectibles. Friendly staff and a very "neighborhood" feel to the shop.

Great selection, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Always finding something new to read.
Black Cat Books Inc. is a family owned and operated business. Our stores are run by people, not machines, we are sometimes late, or sick but most times simply as helpful as possible. Our products are bagged and boarded on arrival at no additional charge to patrons. We purchase what we can afford and try to offer the fairest price that allows us to still remain open. We consider comic books a gateway form of reading and hope you will join us in sponsoring local libraries to help increase literacy in our area youth. Our books (novels) are all new, no used except when they are book club copies. These are clearly marked. We carry English and Spanish books and continually add to our inventory each week. Pre-order discounts are offered in store.
