I've read the reviews and some of the troubles people have had with the owner. First of all the store is great! You can set up an account and pre-order comics. When they come in, you can give the employee your number and purchase your comics. This helps in low run or first print comics that you are looking for to be in stock for you. The owner. I know what people are taking about and, YES, he can be a little rough around the edges, but keep in mind, he means well. I've been going there for over 15 years and I have had "words" with him, but it's just him. He's like the weather in Colorado, sunny one day, rainy the other. Go there for the comics, the price on back issues, and to just be around people that like comics and all that Sci-Fi stuff. This place is old school and once it's gone, there won't be anymore "new" comics shops popping up. You'll have to go Barnes and Nobel or the local chain and get rip off when buying your comics.

I had to write a review after my visit and I had read before hand the ealier posts about this store so I went with little expectations and found myself quite suprised. I found the owner Ray was really a nice guy to talk with. I myself am a older collector and have been around the hobby for a long time so I have some knowledge about the hobby and found Ray more than able to hold a interesting conversation about where the hobby has been and where he felt it was going. I am new to the area and he had no problem spending time with me and he had some issues I had been looking for no one else had locally. I had a far worse exp. at one of the local chain comic stores just trying to get mag boxes. I feel the ealier reviews are really off base and you should give this shop a try.

I've been going to this store for a few years now, and most of my favorite comics came from here. This is a very well-rounded comic shop, stocking every kind of comic. To hear anybody talk bad about a man who has been in that old store for as long as he has is disrespectful!. That man has given his life to owning a store that supplies YOU with the BEST comic books while he lives in poverty. Appreciate what you have, folks. And always support local stores! If you think the man is cranky, just buy your JLA comic and get out!

I have never been to a worse comic store. Seriously, this place nearly ruined my Free Comic Book Day experience. I go in there and ask about his free comic books and possible sales and instead of an answer all I could get was a dirty look. I didn't want to be the guy to go in, get some free stuff, and leave, so I look through his selection of what was supposed to be recent issues and I ask him about a comic title that I was interested in. Again all I got was a dirty look so I start to leave and the guy starts hassling me about the promo issues I had, starts complaining about me coming in too early (even though the door was unlocked and the sign said open) and told me to leave. You would think that a small business being based on customer relations would treat their customers with respect, but this guy obviously has none and doesn't deserve the customers he has. Seriously, this place couldn't be a worse place to shop. Don't go here because giving this guy business only keeps him in business and gives him more opportunities to try and make people feel as low as himself.

I've been to this store on more than a few occasions to buy comics. No complaints until today. I went there this time to buy some mtg boosters and a few singles. First of all, the guy (owner I believe) would hardly acknowledge me and was acting annoyed with my simple questions. I looked through his book of singles searching for a play set of a rare card I had found. I could barely get this guy to answer any of my questions. When I asked him another question about the price of a card he quickly dismissed it and told me I had to leave his store. When I asked why he told me I was "distracting" him and then accused me of trying to steal from him. I was very offended but tried to explain that I am an honest person and was there to spend money at his store. He pointed in my face and called me a liar. He then proceeded to escort me out of the store where he again got in my face and accused me of being a liar and a stealer. Keep in mind I have already spent money at his shop in the past. I spend easily one hundred dollars a month on mtg and was prepared to spend some of my hard earned cash right then and there. I will never return to that poorly run pit and and am very angry about the complete lack of respect I was shown. Shop there if you want, but don't expect to be treated liked an honest human being if you're not one of his familiar, regular, first-name basis, PAYING customers. However, if you like being treated like dirt, and enjoy being called a liar and a stealer, then you'll fit right in at ALL IN A DREAM!
