Tons of back issues from the late Silver Age to current! I had a fantastic time going through their back stock and after asking about pre-code horror comics they went to the back room and found a couple! Very friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommended!

Large, clean and well-organized store with a great selection of comics and graphic novels. They also had several limited series comic sets packaged together.

This is a shop run by someone with a passion for comics. I saw some original TMNT books and a wide variety of books, series, and the requisite gaming stuff. I am not nearly the comic person that my friends are, but it has quite a few things that I found interesting. Definitely worth a browse!

Friendly staff and a good selection. They helped me cross Uncanny X-Men 160 off my list.

Whenever we got to Portland we always stop here. They have so many cool posters and comics. Every store associate is happy and greets everyone who walks through the door. They also have some table top games.

This is a great place to peruse comics, old and new. They have graphic novels and complete set comics. If you're into the world of Marvel, DC, Image, and the like, stop by here to be entertained.

This place is awesome! Extremely well organized and I was able to find my comics of interest immediately upon entering the store. Super friendly employees who leave you alone and let you browse the store. Oh...BTW there is a great Italian sub shop next door, eat lunch then go comic shopping. Perfect opportunity to support local businesses.

Casablanca is my gold standard for Portland; I would also recommend Coast City. Great staff, insane selection. Check out their eBay shop as well!

What if a passionate academic librarian used their superpowers to bless us with a comic shop? Ladies & gentlemen, Casablanca Comics.With an unassuming location, Casablanca lured us in to simply the most inviting & accessible comic shop I've ever been to.The organization is so user friendly & approachable that I instantly understood what section I was in & what I was looking at.An entire section for issues of series & runs that never made it to bound volumes are grouped together & reasonably priced. What a godsend to fans of minor characters or story arcs that didn't catch popular attention!! Definitely the work of a curator who pays attention to both how comics are published AND how much work it takes to chase specific issues. A collectors dream!Even if you aren't a comic fan, sections for graphic novels are carefully labeled & displayed. They have a section for biographical stories & have the handmade sign read with font that highlights the section like this "bioGRAPHICal"!!! Graphic novel biographies with a label that shows they are both graphic novels & biographies...there's a genius afoot in here!With an open floor plan & flowing, wall-lining bookcases, Casablanca bucks the default set up of comic shops being crowded, cluttered, denizens of jaded collectors who never grew up. This place is closer to a bookstore or even an art gallery for commercial art. It feels like the comics & books are treated respectfully, while still maintaining an air of fun, quirkiness, & exploration. It feels like this is how the creators of the work intended for their work to be seen.The layout is a delight & enough for you to visit. But, the layout is merely an extension of the staff. That is the real magic here. I strongly encourage you to visit & meet a treasure of a man who sews his own shirts & commands an encyclopedic knowledge of everything comics. He not only welcomed us in. He simultaneously gave us freedom to curiously browse and gave a quick blurb on notable issues/books we picked up. How can he know authors, artists, & plots by catching a glimpse of the book sleeve? Did he read everything here? Commenting on storylines, use of color by an artist, adaptations, & even appearances by writers at a convention - this guy knew it all. And not like, a pompous expert, either. He just conveyed the exuberance of a person living their dream. As inviting as the store itself.When other comic shops close, we'll lose an outlet & access. If Casablanca Closes, we'll lose an aficionado & his sincere offering. Support this place!

Super friendly, awesome selection, great prices. Well-organized and cool vibe. We stumbled on this place and it was just as great as we thought it would be. The guy who worked there (the owner?) was incredibly helpful, made awesome recommendations, was super knowledgeable, and just an all-around nice guy. Truly a fun spot to browse or get the latest. Worth exploring!

Not being a comics person who shops for comic people I still feel welcome in Casablanca. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and kind to you regardless of your knowledge level. Bringing in photos of the specific issues you need is always a huge help too. They have comics as far back as the Golden Age and plenty of more modern selections too. A great local source for your comic book needs!

Friendly staff. Answered all my questions. They have a very nice selection of comics and other items. I really like their selection of full sets of mini series that they sell. It's nice to grab all the issues at once.

Casablanca Comics was on my list to visit while in Portland - during a very cold, rainy vacation day. Pretty big shop, with lots of comics - and some other knick-knacks, such as D&D gaming dice. I bought a few Avengers volumes and got a free comic book for my check in on Yelp! Parking was very difficult - it took me a while to find a parking space. Also, there are no restrooms. Cool comic book shop! #CasablancaComics
