Probably better for hardcore fans of superhero comics. Their indie selection wasn't deep enough to appeal much to me. The vibe from the staff was also pretty standoffish.

Don't bother trying to sell your comic books there bc they will give you only 20% of the total amount which you would think be 50%.

Philadelphia's oldest and best comic book shop. I've been a customer for years and I've been able to buy everything from great reprint books, to classic comics, to the latest releases... basically books from every genre you possibly want. Great store!

Solid comic shop in City Center area of Philadelphia. Kind of basic from an aesthetic standpoint but most importantly, has a good selection of new comics, trades and a pretty big selection of back issues. I dug through the back issues pretty extensively and really didn’t find any under price gems or great key issues so I would say the stock has been picked over, and I suspect they keep a tight rein on repricing their back issues. Pricing for the most part seemed fair and on point. They had a fairly small selection of wall books. Could be a little warmer and friendlier to new customers.

It has a very good selection of graphic novels and comic books, they have a discount shelf with books, and $1 old comics in boxes as well.

Lots of comics and good prices! Mostly newer releases and sorted alphabetically. I didn't see a cat, but definitely am going back for more!

I've been coming here on and off for years. If you're like me and you have a particular fascination with the old stuff you'll like it here. I got 3 Batman annuals today for $15. I can't get out of most places these days for less than $30. Unless of course it's $0. There is no in between. I don't know if anything else in center city that is a real "comic shop". It's like Ontario if you decreased the space by 75% and made everything easily accessible. No space for box piles here. I can't speak to their ability to stock new stuff.

One of the best hidden gems of center city. They have something for most any tastes or needs comic selection wise. I've been going here since around 2008. This is my go to shop if I'm looking for something obscure or just flat out not ordered by other local shops in the area. The prices are more then fair compared to the real market. Easily the most approachable shop in Philadelphia. Between the selection of back issues and knowledgeable staff you really can't go wrong.

Awesome! It gives you a classic comic book store vibe, has a crazy good amount of books, and is easy to find.

Large number of back issues and for cheap. I go here often. I'm often able to find what I'm looking for. Smells like a cat tho.

Awesome store that I just discovered. If you are looking for both new or old back issues this is the place. Probably the only comic book shop in history that doesn't mark up every single back issue by $5-15/each. They either have it at sticker price or a $0.50 markup. Love it.

A local institution and the storefront is literally iconic! I have gone to this store since I was 10,lol! 44 years later and they finally asked,"Who the hell are you?" #jk Great staff, good people, fair pricing and extremely knowledgeable about what's new and what's hot as well as back stock and the fantastic years of silver,golden,80's 90's etc! Fat Jack's Comic Crypt!! Find the books you're looking for and enjoy the atmosphere ofa legendary co.ics store!! Happy New Year everyone!!

As always a great selection of comics could use a few more games, if yo go walk around the place before you buy anything.

Huge selection of back issues, easily the best selection of indie comics in the city, and an adorable cat to boot!

Me and my dad go there every Sunday and I love that they have Comic Books From The 1990’s so I give this 10/5 Stars
