The best local comic shop in the area. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly as well as knowledgeable when it comes to starting points for jumping into comics or giving you recommendations if you're looking for something new. This is the place to checkout if you love comics!

Super friendly staff. I have very little knowledge of comic books, but they didn't make me feel like I didn't belong in the store. Very helpful; great personality; good people.

We moved here back in January and needed a comic book shop to receive our books. We are serious collectors. Have over 10,000 between us. We checked this place out. Nice to see they charge subscription fee. I feel more places should actually. Decent selection. Some of the guys here are nice enough. They will say hi when you walk in's The owner is not the most social guy and it's hard to talk comics or carry conversation with him or anyone here. Makes me wonder if they read them. They just don't care about that social aspect of the business. We ended up starting our subscription box at Soundwave because of the friendly atmosphere even though they don't have near as much a selection. The owner there is always around and will carry a conversation when you ask a question. If you're looking for a back issue Captain's is a good spot to look at times. Heavy on the toys and pops too. Just don't expect a nice chat and a very snooty owner.

A great comic book store with a lot of selections, but I had a bad experience trying to order a comic from them :( I ordered a comic and they said they’d call me when it came in and a month later I had heard nothing; I called and asked about it and they said that the book isn’t being made anymore and they forgot to call and inform me :/ It was really disappointing. I still would shop there but I wouldn’t recommend ordering a comic from them that they don’t have. Luckily Amazon still had my book in stock.

Stopped by on vacation. Bought 3 statues. Great customer service and the store had a little bit of everything. Absolutely going to stop by again before trip is done.

I live in Georgia, but twice a year I visit Charleston to see my family. EVERY time I come up I stop at Captain's Comics. Mike and his staff have aways been friendly and helpful. I've called from Atlanta and put stuff on layaway. Great stuff, and a great mixture of Comics, lego, funkos, action figures from my childhood. If you're ever close stop by

I was in town visiting the city over this Memorial Day weekend and a friend of mine introduced me to this place. The staff was very friendly and very attentive. I found exactly what I was looking for. Whenever I'm in town, I'll definitely visit Captain's again.

Amazing staff and lots of great stuff. The store is clean and well organized. I've been to a lot of comic book stores and most are poorly organized and hard to navigate. Captain's is a definite stop if you are in Charleston and love comics and vintage toys.

Fantastic experience. Owner cut me a deal on 2 expensive box sets. I'd also like to add that their selection on all different franchises in both comic and figure form is insanely good. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Ive never felt such joy in a long time. Next time I visited Charleston, I will definitely be coming back!

I stopped in one day years ago because I loved comics and bought them with most of the money I made before hitting the real world. When I got to a spot in my life where I had the "disposable income", I stopped in to check the place out. I met Mike, the owner and the other people working there at the time. I was very impressed, you didn't have to eat, breath, and live comics to be appreciated. Over the years I have enjoyed going to see my friends that I have made there. The staff changes from time to time, but in a good way. The young fellas move on to something that they have worked towards and Captain's Comics has given them a great place to prepare for that. I moved from Charleston after 20 years in September, and I miss Captain's Comics more than any other aspect of Charleston.

My Favorite Place to Sell my Items and Pick up New Ones. I’ve been to Captains comics about 25 times and I’ve never left with anything less than a gigantic smile on my face for whatever reason. Going again today. I don’t bother comparing them because I haven’t had to go anywhere else for my nerdy needs besides the obvious places online and target, Walmart etc. And that’s a totally different animal.

Awesome environment, always tell myself I'm just gonna go in and pick up a cheap issue or 2. Every damn time I walk out with a stack and more than $100 broke. This place is worth it every time though
