Yes, we buy comics!


  • We buy comics on Tuesday from 12pm – 6pm. For the duration of the summer you will need to make an appointment to sell comics on this day. Contact the store by email  info@chicagocomics.com or give us a call at 773-528-1983 to set up an appointment. We urge you to schedule an appointment via our Calendly link, here. 

What we are looking for:
  • Old comics from before the 1970s. We are primarily looking for books with a 10 or 12 cent cover price.
  • Comics that are key issues (first appearances, popular story lines)
  • Old Horror and Monster comics
  • Pulp Magazines
  • Monster Magazines
  • Comic -related memorabilia (i.e. records, posters, vintage toys)
What we are NOT looking for:
  • Most comics with a cover price 15 cents and higher. These comics will most likely only be eligible for bulk purchase.
  • Comics that are missing covers
  • Trading cards
  • Children's comics

Other things to keep in mind:

  • The value of a comic is dependent on the condition. We cannot evaluate your comics over the phone. If you have any comics that meet our criteria, our buyer will need to see them in person in order to judge the condition.
  • We are a business and we are buying comics for resale. Supply and demand has a large influence on the books we are interested in as we do not want to purchase books we do not think we will be able to resell. We are willing to look at all collections but can not guarantee we will make an offer.
