About Chicago Comics
Chicago Comics was founded in 1991 with the hope of bringing a large and comprehensive comic book selection to the Chicagoland area. Specializing in small press and hard to find indie comics titles, we also carry almost all available superhero titles and merchandise.
With our sister store, Quimby's (located at 1854 W. North Ave. and on the web at www.quimbys.com), we have kept our focus simple. The best comics on Earth can be found here, from the finest in mainstream press to the best new talent from up-and-comers!
Behind the counter is our wall of highly collectible key issue comic books. If you're looking for more expensive Golden and Silver Age backstock, and you can't find it in our backstock bins, chances are we may have it behind the counter. Ask and yee shall receive!

We also have a HUGE backstock collection. Yes, those are drawers filled to the brim with backstock. Don't see something you're looking for? Ask! We may have more issues you're looking for in the basement. There are only so many books we can bag & board in one week! You may also always email us and we will check our stock for the books you're looking for!

(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!
