Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Buying Comics

Q: When are new comic books released (NCBD)?

A: New comic books are released every New Comic Book Day (NCBD), which falls on Wednesday each week. We work diligently to have all the newest titles from DC, Image, and indie publishers available both in-store and online on Wednesdays!

Q: How do you grade your back issues and used comics?

A: We use standardized comic book grading scales (Near Mint, Very Fine, etc.) to assess condition. For non-graded back issues, we provide a clear description and photos (where applicable) to give you an accurate representation of the comic's condition before you purchase.

Q: What is a "Variant Cover" and how do I know if I need one?

A: A Variant Cover is an alternative cover artwork for a standard comic book issue, often drawn by a different artist and released in limited quantities. They are highly collectible! If the title includes a name like "A," "B," "C," or an artist's name (e.g., "J. Scott Campbell Variant"), it’s a variant cover. Collectors often buy them to complete a set or for the unique artwork.

Q: Can I set up a weekly or monthly pull list subscription?

A: Yes! Setting up a comic book subscription (or "pull list") is the best way to guarantee you receive every issue of your favorite series without missing an issue. Please visit our dedicated Subscriptions page or contact us directly to set up your personalized list.

Q: Do you sell key issues and first appearances?

A: Absolutely! We regularly feature sought-after key back issues and books containing first appearances of major characters. These items are often highlighted in our collection for easy discovery. Use the filter options to narrow your search for graded comics and valuable collector items.
