Comic book stores are literally everywhere – every city has at least one. The most obvious way to find them is to check your local yellow pages or city directory. You can also buy comic book magazines that detail where you’ll find rare comic books in your area. These magazines discuss comic book prices and the latest collectors’ trends, so they’re worth the few dollars you pay for them.
If there are no local comic stores in your general geographic area, you will find lots of comic book shops and stores on the World Wide Web that may give you a listing of the stores in or around your area. These sites will usually ask for your zip code to determine where you are located, and then they will generate a list of comic book stores within that general area.
Reliable comic book shops now operate over the Internet to reach people in far away places and people who don’t have the time to actually go to a comic book store and browse.
Shopping for comic books online can be just as exciting as shopping in a store. Most online comic book stores have bigger inventories so you’ll have access to more issues. They even carry rare back issues.
If you have no time to visit a comic book store or go online and browse through collections for sale, then order a comic book catalog. You can bring the catalog wherever you go, so you can incorporate shopping for comic books with your daily activities.
