The Comic Book Shop has been a favorite local haunt since the late 1980s.Here youll find a great selection of comics, toys, and related items curated by a friendly staff who really care about what they sell. You can always find something for everybody, whether theyre into mainstream interests, oddball and eclectic, or anything in between.Now more than ever, its crucial to support local businesses, and this is a business that needs to stick around.Oh, and theyre dog-friendly. Big bonus! 🐕
Stopped in there this afternoon. The person working the store was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I cant wait to go back and pick up more books.
I have been to a number of comic book shops, and this is th best. Has some excellent nostalgic toys as well. My son loves our Comic Book Shop monthly visits.
The staff was very friendly. The store had a great selection of toys from old to new. They also had new and old comics in a wide range of conditions. The prices were reasonable. I will definitely visit in the near future .
Good selection of comics, collectibles, and graphic novels. Friendly staff, and doing a great job enforcing social distancing.
The employees are so nice and welcoming. Happiest place Ive stumbled upon in a long time
Huge selection and the owner is always willing to help you hunt something down if your having a hard time finding it. It is one of the largest comic book stores around.
I dont often write reviews, but I feel its important to highlight enthusiasm. First off, this store as a wonderful variety of comics, including a smattering of LGBTQ+ oriented content. Even better, not all of it is focused on romance! The people I worked with were very enthusiastic and passionate, and led me to books I have enjoyed immensely thus far. The interior is bright, colorful, and welcoming. All in all, a lovely store with good people running it. I hope to return soon!
I had many marvel bronze age comics. Ghost rider defenders, dracula,moon knight to name a few. All number one issues. Didnt realize what value they had at the time, it was 2018. They took advantage of my lack of knowledge. They got my comics for peanuts and they know it. Never again
Great assortment of books and comic related products. Staff very helpful and friendly Store is nearly laid out, and you can spend a fair amount of time browsing through alot of amazing items.
This store is wonderful! My daughter loves going here. All of the employees are wonderful but the female employees especially dote on my daughter. They always make her feel special for loving superheroes and comic book characters when she is sometimes teased or called a boy for that. Always happy to support a small business but especially one that has had such a positive impact on my daughter!
This place is such a hidden gem. The owners know their stuff, they are so kind and personable and treat everybody that walks through the door like family. And they have hooked my kids onto reading at a young age. They are so patient with kids and take the time to get to know them and find reading material suitable for their ages and interests. And they do so much for our community - one of the few local business that are excited to donate to a school PTA and dont ask for any recognition in return. They have great events too!! Support local - this is a place that ALL adults and kids should check out.
This store is wonderful! Ive been taking my son there for several years now. Started out going on for a kids comic book club, and he loved it. Now that hes a bit older, we go in pretty regularly to get comic books and chat with the staff. The owner is so kind and takes time to talk to him about the latest and greatest events. I highly recommend this business!
Great place and great people working there! Only comic shop I go to.
Best small business Ive ever been to. Very friendly staff.
A+. 10/10. Single best comic book shop Ive ever been to in my life. Super friendly employees. Inclusive atmosphere. Great selection of comics.
Amazing crew and lovely welcoming store.
This is a great place to go and have an excellent comic collocation to browse from. The team they have working here is very personable and knowledgeable about the comics they sell. If you are unsure about what you are looking for or are looking for recommendations, there is always someone to help out. Sarah and her team do a wonderful job of giving back to the community and foster a positive environment for all comic readers.
Great selection of vintage toys that are exceptionally competitive with online prices while retaining the family atmosphere. I have brought my grade school age children for events and the community was exceptionally nice. Highly recommended.
The Comic Book Shop is an inclusive store that works hard to meet the individual needs of all of their patrons. We have worked with Sara on many occasions to find the perfect type of comic for each person in our family. She is also AMAZING with our children. One of our sons is Autistic and she always takes the time to listen to what he is looking for AND helps him with social interactions by asking him his opinion, having him look at her when they are talking to each other mostly, she has created a safe space that he loves going and feels like he can be who he is.
This shop is such a gem. Every time I go I’m so impressed with how patient the staff is with my kids and how, no matter what their interest is at the moment, they pull the perfect book off the shelf. Their Friday night Magic events are also fantastic. Everyone is always so kind and inclusive.Their new mascot Heyzel is just another new bonus (but have no fear! If dogs aren’t your thing, they are happy to remove her from the floor while you peruse!)
Knowledgeable staff and a great collection of all things NERD. Everytime I go, I end up buying more than planned due to staff recommendations. This is the best comic book shop in Northern Delaware!
The store, staff, and selection are most excellent. Nuff said 👍
Changed a lot since we used to come here years ago.
My kids love coming here! they always find a fun new story and often branch out into different genre comics. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. the youth comics are organized by reading level /age group which is a plus since i have a 4 and 7 year old. Its a great little store and we often venture into Delaware just to come here
You will never meet nicer owners! We went in the shop while at an event for the shop next door. My boys were in awe and the guy working could not have made them feel more special. We need more local business owners like this!
I still remember waiting in line at another comic book shop to buy my bagged copy of Superman #75, featuring the conclusion of the heros city shattering throwdown with the monster Doomsday. The anticipation I felt then is a spirit that is still alive and thriving at the Comic Book Shop! The owners are super friendly, and theyve got stuff for all ages, all interests, from the newbie that I once was to the serious collector that, well, I once was! And more importantly is how much they give back to the community theyre a part of. If you long to recapture the magic of your own childhoods, walk through these doors, and you will be transported to the halcyon days of your youth.
Friendly service, good selection.
That fact that they are LGBTQ friends makes shopping there so comfortable and the initial reason. I went. Plus the selection?!?! Its amazing!!. Its an hour drive for me to go but honestly its so worth it.
Great variety, tons of past and present issues of Comics, Nostalgic factor is amazing, discount books are plentiful. Most comics are standard retail and trade paperbacks are overpriced for complete series. Nice location. Whether your a casual reader or serious collector, all are welcome.
ITS a great place to shop for Comic books and other suff.
We stopped in for the first time a couple months ago. We have a very picky 9yo reader. They did a great job recommending age appropriate comics. She read them all. And whats not to love about free comic weekends?
Love TCBS! Staff is super knowledgeable and has always had whatever I needed (great selection!). I moved a few years back and miss this place like crazy.Shop local and support small business :-)
Super fabulous experience! So many great ideas and so much catching up to do on my reading. Knowledgeable staff and chill environment, complete with old school pinball. Love that!
What seems like an eternity ago at their previous location, myself and my brother were often at this comic book shop. It has EVERYTHING! You can deal and trade with them, staff is very friendly. But what I truly love, is the setup they have for toddlers there while their parents browse books. Its so cute, and my 20 month old daughter will sit at this little toddler table and play with leggos provided so sweet and nice. I think that consideration is so nice. And they know my boyfriend by now and will specially order him comics. We def love this store. It is very personable. Has action figures and nostalgia galore! Collectors may find something they were looking for here.
Great place with great selection and a friendly staff!
Very nice selection and many figures and unique items.
This is a shame. They have great books and good prices, but the female owner completely insulted me at a local show. FYI, keep your feminist agenda to yourself, as I’ll keep my opinions to myself. She was very rude and condescending, and also doesn’t have a clue about comic books. Clearly someone else is the brains behind this store, because quality wise it’s fine. But I’ll never spend another dime. I write reviews for an acclaimed comic book site, and this one will not be highlighted due to the rudeness of this particular staff.
Great place!
Stopped by for the first time on comic book day. Store is pretty big and well organized, with a nice section up front with nothing but kid-friendly comics. Even with the crowds that day, the staff was very friendly and helpful as I tried to find some new books for my daughter (and myself!) Will definitely be back.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, if u are new to comics or been reading for years this is the place. Amazing selection for young and old.
By far the best shop in Delaware. I drive up from Dover 2-3 times a year just to go here. Great selection of back issues and discounted--heavily--graphic novels. Staff are always friendly and personable.
My husband likes this shop. Friendly staff and decent selection.
Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful. Lots of great sales and discounts on first issues and volumes in an effort to introduce people to new series. Subscription box is free as long as you come in monthly to pick up your issues, and there are a few monthly book clubs. Definitely my new local comic book store!
Excellent selection and excellent prices. The employees are very helpful and easy to talk with.
This is a great shop with great people who own and run it. It goes without saying that they are friendly. They know the comic market backward and forward, and it has good stock. They are also very community friendly and involved. A perfect place for me at over 40 and my son at 8. Go there. But stuff from them. Leave happy and appreciated.
All nerds are welcomed at the comic book shop. If you are new or old to any fandom, you will enjoy this shops many selections of figurines, cards, comic books, etc. They have what i consider to be the best Friday Night Magic around that is safe for all ages and walks of life with their no jerks policy. I highly suggest you get your nerd needs here!
I’m a working comic artist and have been to many shops across the US and UK. The Comic Book Store stood out as a class act from the moment I walked in. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve rarely been to a shop that has done more to engage their community and create an all inclusive space that extends well beyond the Wednesday pull list.
Great shop located in Delaware. Friendly people working there, great selection of comics/graphic novels/new & vintage toys, and plenty of ancillary events related to all things geek. Definitely worth checking out when you have a chance.
I absolutely love this place. A great selection of books and toys. The most wonderful and helpful staff. Not just my favorite comic shop but my favorite store period.
Love this store. Wonderful staff. Sarah and joe are so friendly & Very helpful. Also I have been given a cupcake on more than one occasion and that’s just great
Sarah and Patrick Titus and their staff do a Wonderful job of creating a safe, playful environment. They always have great recommendations and have amazing events with terrific guests. They do a lot of community support by raising money for charities as well.
The Comic Book Shop is truly a wonderful place to go. Sarah, Titus, and the rest of the crew are really excel at customer service. You would never be made to feel weird for being in a comic store (as is very possible in a lot of them), and they are always happy to help. They carry a great selection of comics, including much more than the popular superhero books. They support their community and you would do well to check the place out if you love comics OR if you are looking to check out a comic.
I was so happy I found this place when I moved to the area. The staff is knowledgeable and always friendly. There’s a whole section for kids of all ages, and even a small table with coloring books and legos for my kid to play with while we’re there. Not to mention Heyzel is the sweetest pup around
Very nice staff, always very helpful with requests and suggestions. Good selection of toys and novelties as well, and they are willing to order things for you if you request it. I enjoy going there.
Excellent local comic shop with a friendly and helpful staff. Large selection of Marvel, DC and independent comics and trades. They alao have a nice selection of figures and statues. Finally they have monthly themes and events. Everyone is welcome at TCBS!
The Comic Book Shop is one of the nicest, cleanest, and most family friendly comic shops I have ever visited. The staff is enthusiastic, welcoming, and helpful - unlike any of the stereotypical male-oriented comic shops you may have seen on TV or heard people talk about.On a personal level, Sarah, Titus and the gang are absolutely wonderful individuals who always have a smile on their face and a story to tell. Super supportive of the local indie comic book community and always willing to lend a hand or a voice to support emerging artists and writers.
By far the best employees around in any store Ive been in. Really cool place for anyone of any age to buy and read some really amazing and fun comic book and cartoon related items. Worth a visit even if your just bored and want to see something new and cool. All the staff are super helpful and really know their stuff!
Kind, inclusive store that makes it a point to highlight representation and inclusivity. The staff is absolutely wonderful to my kids when we come in and really know their stuff. Ive seen them guide new readers to amazing storylines and talk shop with full on comic book aficionados. I recommend everyone stop by the shop at least once.
Amazing people, wide selection of items and conveniently located
Awesome, friendly, knowledgeable staff with a great selection (bonus is their cute dog Heyzel)
Great Comic book spot and the people who work there remind you that its important to support them.
On 1/20/2019, I wrote - They were out to lunch 3 of the 4 times I went there. on 1/21/2019, I wrote - This review is not erroneous nor am I confusing it with another comic book shop. I made 3 special trips to visit this store. Only to find the doors were locked with a sign on the door that said back in 15 minutes. I waited a bit then left. I get that negative reviews hurt and went back a 4th time to talk with the owner but he wasnt there. So, I used this platform. Reviews are important, just as important as your customers time.
Super helpful staff, wonderful selection, not your typical comic shop!
Its right there in the name. They put comic books first. Yes, they also have action figures, card games, etc., but thanks to their knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff, their shop is welcoming to new and experienced readers, alike.
I got into comics about a year ago and this was the first shop that I went to. The first time I went in, one of the employees helped me figure out what comics I would like and gave great suggestions and was very friendly . I later found out that they were the owner. This is a great shop with a great staff, and I would highly recommend it to new or veteran comic readers.
Went in for the first time the other day. The staff was super nice and knowledgeable. Great selection, clean, and well laid out. Lots of variety. They even suggested some awesome $10 titles! My kids read both books! Will be going back soon! Thanks Sarah!
Im not a big comic fan myself but when I stopped in the employee was very helpful and provided recommendations. I will be back for gifts in the future.
Great staff in a great store.This stores selection is a really good sampling of everything. You wont find many deep cuts or rare back issues here but theres still a lot that sets this store above the rest. Namely: the staff and the events. The staff are friendly and helpful to newcomers and veterans alike. If theres something you want that they dont have theyll gladly order it in. And since the store is in tax free Delaware that actually makes it the cheapest way to get what youre looking for. On top of that the store has frequent events and storewide sales. I cant recommend this store enough.
Clean, organized, super friendly staff and not all pushy. Great selection of books, toys and collectibles. This is probably the best shop Ive ever walked into. Made me want to start up my subscription again!
Met with the owners on my first trip there. They were super nice and made the experience awesome. Had fun drafting MTG with a small group of social players.
Picked up some sweet comics I had no clue existed and got to meet the dog!! Such a sweetheart!🐶📚
Has Everything. Comics galore!! Collector items!! The staff is Awesome!! Really knows their stuff. Has book club and womens groups. Love it!!! The owners, Titus & Sarah, are great!! They are so invested in their customers and employees. Best comic book shop EVER!!!!
Friendly staff, clean store, and dope comic books and old school action figures.
Very helpful and nice people. They helped me source some great comics and very quickly let me set up a pull list. This is a really good, friendly, comic book and toy shop.
Tucked away in a spot almost as secret as The Batcave. Very nice. Clean. Decent selection of back issues & Trade Paperbacks.
Great selection. Very persistent at this location despite other stores leaving. I love it cause our designers and cabinet builders love it and are always willing to visit us for help because they can go here after!
Found this place for free comic book day, as we are new to the area. They were all nice folks, nice comics, including lots of old less expensive ones (50 cents or $1) so my kids and I were pleased as punch. Will be back for sure.
Great store with a variety of comics and games. Clean, organized and friendly.
Great place to trade in and get recommendations on great series!
This shop has something for all ages! Great place to bring the family.
Love this place! Great knowledgeable staff. Great selection of everything comics related new & old
An amazingly well stocked comic book shop, with plenty of the associated games and figures. Excellent prices and service.
The cream of the crop, here. TCBS is not only the best comic shop in Delaware, but one of the best in the country. The staff are friendly and inviting, the shop is clean, and the owners are kind and passionate about their product. Could not say enough good about this place.
I’m obsessively loyal to The Comic Book Shop! Sarah and the crew are helpful, knowledgeable and super friendly. It’s just a great place with a lot of heart.
