Been to this place a few times. I get Superman comics. Great condition, the owner gives me a table, lets me take my time and has a great attitude. I mostly shop online but when I want to actually just browse, this is the place. Think I’ll visit today.

They just moved to a larger store but had that same feel. 😀 Large selection of comics & collectable (not antiques, but fun stuff)

The annual block party was a blast! Well organized, with an outstanding variety of vendors, food and beverage offerings, activities, and music. The store was beyond fun! Super comfortable, without crowding or clutter, impressive prices for the awesome products, and friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely revisit!
