Pull Service?
Even though we don't do a traditional pull service, we will set aside and special order comics for you.
We
carry a wide range of collectibles and do our best to provide whatever
our customers require. From statues and action figures to T-shirts
and Zippos to Magic and Heroclix games
to over 250,000 back issues, we try to make it very hard to walk
out empty-handed. If your regular comic shop always
has too many "sold out" sign up the
day comics come out, or has had the same back issue comics
for years, or just doesn't carry what you want, come to us.
We
are very active in acquiring collections, unique items, and backstock,
especially in our comics section. If
you are looking for something special that you just can't find anywhere
else, or if you have something special you would like to sell, drop
us a line. We ship anywhere.
