Phone: (416) 967-5757

"While we do not carry new comics or toys or most of the items a comic book store might, we do carry a fair amount of used comics and, when we can get our hands on them, trade paperbacks, graphic novels and comic-related magazines (all second-hand). The main draw for comic book fans is not so much our huge inventory and current selection, but our prices. As one of the two employees at the store in charge of purchasing and pricing comics I can assure you we are cheaper than just about any store in the city when it comes to used comics and comic-related books (we typically price everything at half Overstreet, though in Canadian dollars mind you, and quite often price lower on stock that is harder to move, usually about 50 cents to a dollar). As with the large number of books and videos we sell, if you are looking for back issues you should check here first before going to the 'real' comic book stores; you may just be surprised by the bargains you'll find. >>> P.S. Please keep in mind that we operate with a "help yourself" attitude most times, so don't bother calling asking about specific issues of a comic because we just don't have the time to track them down for you."
