[Hawkman]

i have a friend up there now who wants to know where to go. i know a few, but would like to hear from you guys.

There was a thread on this recently. And usually 1-2 threads a year on the same topic if someone wants to search.

It basically depends on whether your friend wants back issues or new stuff.

 

By the way, Comic Relief in downtown Berkeley is very well thought of, my friend just started managing there, and they are having a big sale this week.

Pretty bad week to visit... mostly rainy all this week.

 

And SNOW!

for vintage stuff,

 

Comic Relief, House of Comics (Berkeley, East Bay)

Heroes (Campbell, South Bay)

Lee's Comics (San Mateo, Mountain View)

Amazing Adventures (S.F.)

I live in SF, and have been to amazing adventures and comics outpost and cards and comics central, but are there any others? I'm primarily interested in silver and bronze back issues and keys, and not too many places seem to have these. And yes, its freezing this week here.

A-1 Comics in Sacramento. Best comic store west of the Mississippi.

I wish there was a good one near palm springs.

 

the nearest i know of is moreno valley and i do have to go out there once in a while so it's not a big deal. there are two in town. one is total , the worst place i have ever been to. the other looked nice through the window but was closed. i'll give them a try next time i'm out that way, couple weeks i think.

Just for the record...

Oh, and Marc (aka HouseofComics.com), I'll be swinging by in the next month or so! :-)

Just back from Comic Relief. The sale is 20% off everything except new comics and consignment items.

And of course I'm always happy to visit with anyone from the boards by appointment at my warehouse space downtown Berkeley.

I could mention a whole bunch of stores....unfortunately, they all closed in the 90's.

 

 

There's a store in Dublin called "Comic Ink" which got a new owner maybe 5 years ago...looks decent.

Really? I didn't know there was a store there... Gotta check it out.

I also recommend Flying Colors in Concord for graphic novels and other interesting indy stuff. Not as good as A-1 for back issues, though.

Comic Ink does sound like it's worth a visit.

Trader J's....

 

Man, I haven't heard that name in years.

 

That's where I bought my first Unity #1 Plat and Gold...for $15 each.

 

Thought I was getting an absolute STEAL...

 

I used to work at the Lutheran church right down the road...

Please tell me the crappy MoVal one is the one next to Big 5 on Sunnymead. It is the one I know about.

 

Where is the other one? I live here and - not surprisingly - am clueless.

Road trip!
