Where do you get your comics?

Are you a regular at your local comic book store? Do you get your fix online? Or do you prefer finding gems at swap meets and other random places? Share where you think the best place to find comics is!

When I was still a comic guy, I got my old ones and the rare ones at the comic book store but for my regular comics I got them at the corner drug store comic book rack (are those even around anymore???).

I would also scour the swap meets, flea markets, and pawn shops.

Comic book store. All my back issues and rare comics I get from eBay or comiclink auction site. Hard to go wrong with slabbed comics. I still cruise the flea markets and yard sales for the occasional gem but they are harder and harder to find there. I refuse to read comics online and won't support the endeavor or practice in any way, shape or form.

Actually, Capt Rachelle Crespo, I don't limit myself to any one seller. I do like to get various variant covers, and in order to get the biggest assortment you have to buy from different shops. I used to primarily purchase from TFAW (Things From Another World) online, but I also use Midtown Comics, and the tiny local comic store. If I see something that I really like I will buy off of ebay, and I always keep an eye out for people selling entire collections. Currently I am working more at getting comics signed, and then having them graded, and encapsulated. Hopefully one day I'll actually be able to flip at least some of my comics for a good price. Thanks for the great question !!

I don't read them as much as I did when I was younger but every now and then I swing thru one of the local dealers near my job or purchase some online
