Greatest comic shop in NE Oklahoma and the oldest one too... Easy to deal with and has a great selection thats priced right as well as the best place to get your new comics pulled for any subs that you want. Check it out!
This is a comic book shop for comic fans. If you are looking for things like pops, this is NOT the store for that. This is the old fashioned, hole in the wall type store. Would recommend it to comic collectors, wouldn’t recommend it to the ones looking for non comic comic stuff.
This store is amazing! They have gone up and beyond to help me find a book. Totally recommend!
Friendly, fair & comfortable atmosphere... NOT, like the others... This is a REAL comic book store, For REAL comic book collectors... 🤟😝🤙
Ive been shopping at Comic Empire for about 36 years! For a small store, it has a huge heart and also TONS of back issues. Put your favorite comics on a pull list and youll never miss an issue. If youre looking for a great local comic shop, look no further than Comic Empire!
The best comic store in Tulsa hands down. Knowledge and experience are priceless.
An awesome staff and is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, which I feel in a comic book store is very important!!!
Always happy to shop at Comic Empire! Great selection of new comics as well as back issues and wall books are fairly priced.
Super friendly and always gives me a great whwn it comes to my comics!
Stopped in today for the first time and I am so glad I did. It was truly wonderful, finding a classic-style comic book shop, especially given the considerable amount of back issues from less popular or known publishers. The current issue selection is robust as well. The gentleman who owns the store is super friendly and helpful.If a person has any desire whatsoever to spend a few hours rummaging through the dozens of long boxes, searching for a long forgotten treasure, or just simply to take a leisurely trip down memory lane, one would be hard pressed to find a finer shop.This shop was absolutely worth the two hour trip and I will certainly be returningSupport small businesses!
Kind staff, tons of comics and great prices.
A Tulsa institution! My favorite place to go for comics. Have always been treated well there.
Comic Empire is great! Original owners retiring, very sad about that. Love it though. Place is a bit crowded, lots of cool decor. You can always stop by, grab a good comic, then be out the door and read your comic at a nearby mexican restaurant(Senor Fajitas anyone?), in about 20 minutes, because you will want to check out all the comics before you buy anything, otherwise the moment you go out the door youll see something you want.
Its a nice place to pick up comics. Its a bit small but I can deal with that. I got my first comics here a few months ago.
They seem to have what Im looking for.
Great shop, a hidden gem for people wanting to cruise through thousands of back issues. Knowledgeable owner, knows right where the books are when you ask for specifics.
This is the best comic shop in Tulsa and arguably the state in my opinion. New guy knows his stuff and easy to work with.
Friendly. Lot old and new.
Legendary comic shop. Definitely worth a visit, but be advised, its pretty much 99% comics, which is awesome!
The Comic Empire is one of the oldest continually operating comic book stores in the United States. I have been visiting and buying comics here since 1978. The owner, Mike, is extremely knowledgeable and can help you find anything youre looking for. If youre looking for a store that specializes in comics and only comics, this is the place.
I came once and the worker (or owner) didnt want to answer simple question about any comic. Hes pretty rude. Its almost like he doesnt want anyone to come in.
Fast, friendly, knows their way around comic books .
The oldest LCS in Oklahoma, The Comic Empire is THE place to go if youre looking for older reasonably priced comics. The owner is one of the most knowledgeable shopkeepers Ive ever met in the industry. Hes always extremely helpful when looking for specific issues. He doesnt just point and tell you where to look. He goes right to the box, pulls it out and helps you find it!
Just wanted to check this place out as Ive heard about it locally. After attending, its one of the best vintage comic shops Ive ever been to. Honestly. It was well organized, had both newer and old comics, and Mike was amazingly friendly. I left wanting to go back in and buy more! Being the oldest comic book store in Oklahoma, it really gives you the feel of the vintage days of comic book shops but offers a modern take as well. Prices were decent. Mike was honest, has a ton of knowledge, and cares about his store. There are some shops in Tulsa that have lazy owners. This is not one of them. You will be pleased that you went to Empire Comics.
Best selection. Best organization. Best grading. There is nothing worse than walking into a Comic Shop and seeing that they lump all back issues into one letter. Personally, i am not going to spend the time sifting through worthless Sigil books to find the one Superman comic they have. The Comic Empire has just about everything you could want, alphabetically!!! The way it should be. If you want good quality comics this is the place to go.
Always friendly and helpful over the years.
Awesome customer service and great selection of all comics an merch!!
Im very new to colleting comics and saying to Mike he was willing to show me what to look for and was extremely helpful. Also he does like to barter which he cant do in some places. Definitely a place to go to regularly!
Ive been a comic fan since grade school in the 90s and Ive finally found my go to store! The owner is very knowledgable and doesnt shy from any questions or even just a friendly conversation. I hope this place is still up and going strong when my kids get of age so I can bring them here.
Pay close attention to the menu, and make sure that you can eat enough to justify the $30 all you can eat.Fantastic food and presentation, definitely worth the price.
Great place to buy older comics as well as.new books friendly people
I am from out of, but the staff there make yoj feel at home. GREAT prices, an AMAZING selection, and very knowledgeable when you need help finding a certain issue. Im going back before I have to leave town.
The most Epic and Ancient mecca of comic books in the United States. If comic shops were to ever get a spot in the list of historic places.. CBE will definatley get one. Its the Oldest continually operating Comic book shop in the country. And for good reason. The owner is passionate and knowledgeable and is also a collector. Dont come here for figures and sculptures and pop vinyls. You wont find them. This is a Comic book Collectors comic book shop. Back issues by the thousands. Hard to find back issues are easy to locate in the stacks of this amazing shop. Youre stepping into the Early History of comic book collecting. Its an experience to shop here. And those that do and live close by, count themselves lucky that its here. Wall comics galore. No slabs. And no junk cluttering up the place. 98% pure comics. You dont find anything better in the U.S.
I love this place go here if you want old and new comics. The owner can order comics for you. The owner is really nice.
Always fun for my son and I to shop there. Great old fashioned comic book store.!
I love this place. This shop treats me pretty well when Im town. Been to a few others in Tulsa and no one has the same hospitality as they do.
Great shop. Mike is a very nice guy and knows where everything is at, and there is a lot. Awesome comic book store
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great selection. The best anywhere around.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, reasonable prices, whats not to love?
Great service and prices. I have been a customer for decades.
A ton of comics in a great space! Mike is a great owner! He’s passionate about comics, knows his stuff, and is always willing to talk about comics!
Mike is a heck of a nice guy. Has a great selection. Prices are great too!
The owner is very knowledgeable about comic books and has been in business for many many years.
One of THE best places for comics.
NOW I know why he doesn’t like to have anything graded! Bought several vintage comics from Michael and was told that they were original condition but had them graded and two came back as restored by cleaning and tear closing and trimming! The others had been colored in to make look better and were supposedly his little uncle fester looking friends 🙄.I would never recommend this place to anyone who collects comics only those who read them and dont care how they look or grade. Because they definitely alter the more pricey comics they have! I used to trust him but he also has a partner that is a scumbag who goes around town trying to find stuff he can restore and sell as unaltered! If I could I would have given 0 stars! This place is very untrustworthy Beware . I’d give 0 stars if I could have.
The owner was very nice, very knowledgeable and more then happy to help us find things, and even knew where everything was in his shop. Loved it just loved it.
Very nice employees and great selection
Always helpful, nice back stock.
The owner is VERY knowledgeable about comics. No abundance of toys, games, trinkets, etc. A PURE comics shop. Search Comic Empire of Tulsa on Youtube for a minidoc.
The owner was very pushy and unpleasant. It felt more like being at a used car lot than a comic book store with all the pressure to answer questions.
Great selection, fantastic store. Owner is knowledgeable, friendly, and enjoyable to talk to. This will be my go-to comic store now.
Always fun to talk and to search through the comic history of tulsa
So cool. Purchased a few books to replace my brothers collection. I may have a new addiction
Tulsas oldest comic book store, cant be beat by knowledge, nor price. Good back issue selection, and terrific pull list availability.
Mike knows his comics. Go there for a good deal or two
Great assortment of back issues!
Always a joy to visit Mike is always kind and helpful
A Very good comic shop
No place will have the knowledge and expertise you will find at The Empire.
This is in response to Mike Ashworths review.1. If you bought comics from Mike that came back as restored, ask Mike, he would do everything he could to make it right.2. Mike doesnt have a partner.3. Mike would never spend the money or time to restore a book.
Lots of comics and nice staff, the store can feel cramped, but personally I like the atmosphere.
Friendly and knowledgeable. Ive been a customer for over 40 years.
Very knowledgeable, and attentive. Small invetory
Friendly and extremely helpful staff.
Its a comic book shop pulled straight from my childhood.
AWESOME!
Best comic store in town.
Tulsas oldest and best comic shop!
Found the comic book my friend couldnt even find on the net !!!!! Scored major Brownie Points
Very helpful and polite.

Hard to find an old school comic counter like this anymore.
Ive been going to the Empire for over 10 years.
