Gotham Thrift Shop

Gotham Thrift Shop spins vintage comic culture in Ridgewood. The store sits at 61-01 Myrtle Ave, tucked in a brick row where sidewalks hum with neighborhood energy. You never know who’ll wander in—a collector scanning long boxes or a passerby flipping through back issues on the sidewalk rack.

Inside, the long tables rearrange weekly: one week brimming with silver-age Marvel, the next stacked with indie zines and horror digests. The shop lists itself as women-owned and keeps a rotating stock that’s anything but static, so repeat visits feel essential if you’re chasing that one missing issue. Trade-ins are accepted without fuss, and the staff adjusts displays as new donations arrive, keeping the shop on its toes.

Before you swing by, dial 347-384-2256 to confirm what’s in stock—new arrivals vanish fast. The building sits sandwiched between the elevated train rumble and the scent of pizza ovens nearby, so you’ll smell dinner long before you see the station. Need the easiest route?
