Chicago Comics
Chicago Comics was founded in 1986 with a mission. A mission to bring one of the largest and most comprehensive comic book selections to the Chicagoland area. Specializing in small press, hard to find indie comics titles, and manga; Chicago Comics also carries most available mainstream titles (and can special or pre-order anything you'd like) and amazing merchandise for all things comics, manga, nerdy, or art.
With our sister store, Quimby's (located at 1854 W. North Ave.,) we have kept our focus simple. Providing Chicago with the world's finest in alternative, underground, art focused works while providing your full range of guilty-pleasure mainstream stuff you'd never let your cool comix friends know you've been collecting for more than a decade.... we won't tell.
Chicago Comics is your #1 stop in Chicagoland when it comes to buying and selling vintage comics and collectibles

(A Brief) History of Chicago Comics' location(s)
A bit of Chicago Comics History! When Stage Left theatre left 3244 N. Clark St., the owner of Chicago Comics bought our current building, moved Chicago Comics from its old location down the street and added on a huge back room to the space! Here are some THEN and NOW pictures to see how much we've grown!
