Fellow New Yorkers..

I bought some beautiful Adams 'Tec's from Cosmic Comics many moons ago. I remember they had a perspex box on the wall containing a partially smoked cigar butt which they claimed came from Jack Kirby.

I still mourn the closing of Mike's Comic Hut on Northern Blvd in queens. The owner was always nice, the walls were lined with key issues, and it smelled like old, musty paper. (in a good way ). As for stores still in existence, Rogers Time Machine and St.Marks are always worth a visit. I've never been to Royal Collectibles, but I've heard good things.

Love Midtown Comics East. Less traffic than West.

Mile's was the best. That is where I started collecting back issues. Still have many of the books I bought from there in the late 70's, early 80's.

Same here. I still have some store bags featuring art by George Perez. He lived in the area, was friends with Mike, and was frequently in the store. Mr. Perez was kind enough to sign some stuff for me, including my copy of Infinity Gauntlet 1. Good times!

Hey there, I was just curious if there are any other fellow New Yorkers on the boards and what are you favorite shops in the city.

 

 

We should get a New York meet up going, yeah?

Favorite stores in the city are definitely Bergen Street in Park Slope, then Midtown Comics downtown. Always more quiet and a great staff at that downtown Midtown location.
