Great selection and even better service! This place is awesome!
Great Southside comic shop. Been doing business here since 2002 and always enjoy going. Great selection of new comics, supplies, and back.issues. Recommended!
Well Ive only been here once and I didnt find anything I was specifically looking for; although my tastes are a bit different than most comic book collectors of this era; as Im looking for vintage Archie, Richie Rich, Sabrina, etc - trying to rebuild a collection that we had and lost, that my mom started as a kid.While his Archie selection was minimal and more current than I needed, I was, able to get a handful of $1 comics to use for a craft project that I have planned. I thought there would be more to choose from in the $1 section but it was pretty small. I wanted known characters, so I ended up with a few Hulks and a couple other random known heroes.Some what small sized shop but with a seemingly decent selection. I should also include that the gentleman at the counter (presumably the shops owner) was very helpful and very nice. :)Go check it out! Just because I didnt find my Archies doesnt mean you wont potentially find exactly what you are looking for!
Out of town from El Paso and popped in to browse and fill some holes in the PC. Great atmosphere and friendly owner. Everything is very well organized and priced very fairly. Next time I’m in town I will definitely make it a habit to stop by! 👍👍
Very organized and clean...the variety of comics is amazing.
Smaller than it use to be and now they only sell comic books, but the staff was helpful and great prices
The day I went was on Black Friday and they had a $2 comic special. It was a great deal. Well organized bins with great issues and keys. The man behind the counter could be a little more engaging, but thats what makes life what it is.
My son is a comic collector and I have been bringing him here the last several years. The owner and other workers are always helpful and are eager to have a conversation with my son and educate/enlighten him when he asks questions, even if those questions are simplistic and obvious. I appreciate you guys serving my son and encouraging him in his hobby as he always enjoys coming to your store. He wouldnt even think to go anywhere else for his comic book needs.Cherrs and God Bless!
QuikTrip stores are totally open 24 hours and are awesome, the employees are very respectful and friendly, never had any kind of bad experience or left disatisfied in any QuikTrip store, Thank God for QuilTrip stores...😃
Great little shop, lots of variants available on his wall, good amount of back stock available. Service was good, really nice guy(maybe the owner) behind the counter. Worth a stop in.
The owner is great and very nice, and very knowledgeable of comics. There is also a great selection of comics new and old.
Family owned and operated comic shop with very few collectibles but lots of comics. Pete, the owner and his son are very knowledgeable. Been coming here for many years. They offer free subscription service
The people asked if we need help then gave you space to enjoy your shopping. They also snack brown bag, It was very good. Comics for .25 cents and some for $1.00. Fun fun...
They only have comics and baseball cards. No table top dog, something desperately needed on the Southside 🤨 oh, and they have these beautiful figurines in the center of the store. Next time Ill take a picture, but they are not for sale! 🧐
Come and enjoy the chicken fried steak smile and good memories
Place is damn great. Owner and staff is topNotch. He will actually have a conversation and if he doesnt have you are looking for, he willHelp you to try and find it. Cant say more than great things for this store, good people and even better service. Loyal customer!!
Good selection of comics. Owner knows his stuff. Despite eagerly awaiting customers in parking lot waiting for store to open. Owner will not open store till 10am sharp.
Love this shop and its owners! They always greet you with a smile. They offer A+ service. If you love comics, you should really check out this shop.
Ok so all 3 stars go for Mario, hes a genuine nice guy and will help you out a lot. Now for the co-owner, hes more of a stereotypical comic book guy. I would liken him to comic book guy from the Simpsons, one time i went in to get a variant cover that wasnt limited or anything and he wanted me to buy all 3 covers telling me in order to get a specific cover I gotta get all 3?!??!? I go to heroes&fantasies they got all 3 individual covers on display no need to buy all 3. Just stuff like that erked me when he was there. Bottom line, if Mario is there, great place- If other guy is there, 2 star place.
Canceled our subscription after being a loooooooong time customer. We had moved to a new house and did not have a chance to get to the store and pick up our comics. As a business owner myself, I value my long term customers and would have given a courtesy call just to check if everything was o.k. People move, get new jobs, or maybe even become ill. Needless to say we were quite surprised..........would not get a subscription there again. It also seemed that they were having a family feud every time we went in. Fighting like kids in front of customers? REALLY?
Friendly service. Very courteous and helpful. Selection of comics and collectables is awesome with fair prices. Great local/neighborhood comic store.
One of the best comic shops in San Antonio. Nice selection and very experienced staff. They always make you feel at home there.
Family owned and family friendly comic book store with extensive knowledge of everything comic related.. Helpful staff can find any comic youre looking for. Great experience..

2022-07-25Collector of comics this is a nice little shop, heavy with the Marvel and DC brand, now note! I didnt see a lot of graphic novels you may have to ask, other than that cool place to check out.

2022-03-15Small and hidden, just off of Military Drive, this comics store is just that, only a comics store. No toys or any other items available for purchase. Just Comics. The gentleman there was nice and friendly, I believe he may have been the store owner himself. I did not go in to purchase, but to see about selling some of my 80s Marvel comic books. Unfortunately, he was not interested. He was looking for older stuff, from the 60s and 70s. Oh well. Still a good place to go visit if comics is your thing!

2021-06-06Pete over at Collectors Authority has a hidden gem of a store. A vast collection that is completely cataloged and organized. This is a great place to find those missing books to fill your collection. CA is that place where you go to find hidden treasures. I found this LCS by chance but I will definitely be back every time I come to San Antonio. Make sure to follow him on FB too.

2022-01-03We love coming here. The gentleman is always kind and even though its a small shop, we love the atmosphere of it. We try to ensure a visit at least once a month as it is so important to support our local shops, and this is definitely one of our favorites.

2021-09-15I just recently visited this store about a month ago after a few years of not buying comics. It has downsized its space a bit since then. This place has always been primarily about comics. Theres no Pokemon stuff and not a lot of other collectibles. But there is a good back issue bin and all the latest and greatest new books and a good selection of graphic novels too. If youre in the neighborhood check it out you might find an old book youve been looking for.
