NYC COMIC SHOP

Specializing in fresh issues and back-issue finds, NYC COMIC SHOP trades in four-and-a-half-inch stapled stories as much as thirty-year-old silver-age reprints. The shelves tilt toward Marvel and DC classics, but the staff still pulls out longboxes of indie gems if you ask. Midtown commuters drop in for Wednesday pull-list pulls, and weekend collectors hunt for poly-bagged first appearances tucked behind the counter. Off-peak hours bring quiet browsing, no queues—just racks of mini-comics priced in the single digits.

The store lives in a ground-floor space at 514 79th St, Brooklyn, NY 11209, a block from Public Storage and a five-minute walk from the D train at 77th. Subway riders heading home often swing past for impulse buys—no parking tickets, just a quick stop. Stock changes weekly, so the next issue you need might already be in stock.

For signings and sketch-card hunts, they hang a printed sheet near the door listing drop-in creators—usually on Saturdays once the month’s variant covers arrive. Trade binders sit waist-high by the entrance, free to flip through while you decide what to grab.

Call (718) 333-5183 to confirm stock before crossing the bridge, or follow the map for the fastest walking route from the station.
