VISITING NYC in May.... any comic/toy store to suggest?

Buy something at Metropolis and ask to pick it up just for the experience of seeing all of the art on the wall. I have come to the conclusion that Metropolis is a museum that just happens to sell comic books on the side.

+1 million.

Highlight of my first trip to NYC was my visit to Metropolis Comics. Visit by appointment only.

.....you can also arrange an appointment with them to view books....but you have to give them a list of what you're looking for....they won't just let us thumb through all 100,000 comics in stock. A friend went a while back and said they have the most expensive Bathroom in NY.......due to the art. GOD BLESS...

P.S. You can also arrange for them to ship it to Italy so you don't have to chance it on the Plane or Ship....

Once you see the Metro office, you're spoiled for life. Nothing else will ever look the same again.

Let's just say that you'll never see anything like it again.

Possibly the world's most valuable movie poster, the Frankenstein 6 sheet. I think only one is known to exist.

Cover art to more key GA, SA and BA books than you can shake a stick at. Stuff like House Of Secrets #92.

Even the bathroom is lined with about 15 or 20 pages of original art like pages out of Journey Into Mystery #83 Thor pages and Byrne X-men pages.

It's just so over the top it's sickening.
