In many cases you will be able to get a good value for your money when you buy your comic books from comic book stores. When you are buying the various comic books that you want from these stores you should be able to see if the comic book is in good quality and if you are buying an undamaged comic book.
In some cases comic book stores can also have posters of favorite comic superheroes and super villains for sale. There will also be times when you will be informed of the upcoming releases of comic book action movie release like those of Spider Man and Superman.
As many people have a variety of interests in comic books you will be able to see various comic books on the shelves of the comic book stores. These comics will include Superman, Spider Man, Batman, Archie’s, Josie and the Pussycats, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Star Trek and Star Wars and many others.
In some comic book stores you will be able to find vintage comic books like Lulu, Betty Boop, Spawn, Wonder Woman, Phantom and lots of others. Some of these comic books will be in a very good condition as they may not be very well known by today’s comic book readers. In some instances you may be lucky enough to find some comic series early editions.
As these comics are difficult to find always you may want to see what the condition of the book is like. When you have checked the condition of the comic book you will need to see the price that your comic book store will charge you for these comics.
With first edition type of comic books you will have the chance to own a piece of comic book history. These are the reasons why buying your comics from different comic book stores is a great idea.
Besides these wonderful facts you may find other people who share your tastes. From these people you can broaden your horizons and see what other comic books you might like to read. The next time you have run out of reading material you might want to head over to your local comic book stores and see what you can discover in these different stores.

Comic book stores are where you the get to buy comics. Without comic stores we would never have had the chance to buy comics that have rocked our world since we are kids. Though the technology age is here now you can get comics online and find that the stores have also integrated into online stores and are now pulling in more clientele than they did before.
The good thing about real stores was that you could go to look for a comic book and get someone to explain to you right away a short skit on how the superhero did something in the previous comic book that led to the new one coming out. You would also get the store clerk to hold a comic book for you for a while until you where able to pay and also call you to tell you when you could rush over when a new release had hit the stores. I sometimes would get into the store and ask the clerk who was a pal of mine to let me go through a comic before I decided if I wanted to take it. Online stores however don’t really have that homely feeling but they still work and you get to know more information on where the writer is trying to go with the comic series.
Some of the comics I loved where really in high demand and are still are, such as superheroes like Spiderman, Batman, Superman, The Avengers, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk and many more that still pick my interest. Comic book stores are still there even today only fewer; however they are still doing well even though they have competition from the online kind of Comic Book Stores.

Peter Gitundu asked:
I don’t know if you feel the same about comic books like I do, but one thing is for sure, I have held on to my first ever comic book for a very long time and I believe now it will probably cost you quite a penny especially since it is mint condition and it is a first series. When shopping for a comic book it is good to learn all you can on that comic especially if it is the rare or hard to find kind.
Apart from superheroes I have always loved comics like Archie, Jughead and the rest of the gang. I was also a big fan Josie and the pussycats and off course the DC comic’s collection as well as Marvel comics. Many people do not know the value of their comic books and how much they can get for them if they have kept them in prime condition. In fact most time people just leave their comics lying around in their homes without ever thinking that if they needed another one and had kept the one they had in good condition they would be able to trade it in for another. This kind of trade is offered by several comic book stores.
The older your comic the more value it has and the more care you have to give it especially if it is a first edition or a very rare copy. Many a times you will find such comics in auctions or if you really want to luck out look for yard sales where people are moving out because you will find people are either selling their comic book collection at a very low price or giving them away for free. Always have them appraised.

Xavier Gallery asked:
Even with the emergence of popular entertainment outlets such as the internet and satellite television, comic books have maintained an impressive market share of consumer spending. There simply is no replacement for the unique way a comic can present a story and engage its readers. Because of this, comic book collecting has also grown in recent years with a new generation of readers enjoying this rewarding hobby.
For collectors who are just beginning, there are a couple of different approaches to take to the hobby. Some people are simply fans of a particular hero or publisher. They purchase comics for their own entertainment and don’t concern themselves much with the after-market value of the publication. Other collectors concentrate on acquiring limited edition or rare comics for the sake of achieving a return on their investment. This form of collecting usually requires an advanced knowledge of the market as well as the necessary funds to make large purchases.
There are five distinct eras of comic book memorabilia. The Platinum Age represent the oldest time period, dating between the 1800’s and 1937. The Golden Age covers the years of 1938 to 1955. Silver Age comic books are dated between 1956 and 1969, and the Bronze Age occurred between 1970 and 1979. The Modern Age includes everything that was produced from 1980 through today. Each time period is unique and distinctive in the way the publications were written, produced, and distributed. Obviously the older periods offer the most valuable items, but there are still plenty of rare and limited comics to be found in the Modern Age.
Today’s collectors will find a multitude of outlets to help them add to their collection. The internet alone has increased the accessibility of hard-to-find comics to collectors all over the world. eBay, Craigslist, and online comic book stores make finding exactly what you want as simple as clicking a mouse. While these outlets are probably the most popular markets for collectors, there is still plenty of demand for local comic book shows and stores. Of course newsstands and bookstores remain the best source for the latest publications. Ideally, the savvy collector will be comfortable with using all of the outlets mentioned here. You simply never know where you might uncover the next hidden gem to add to your collection.
Beyond these basics of comic book collecting, there are other intricacies to learn for the new collector. For instance, collectable comic books are often graded to measure their condition in a uniform manner. This is done by a professional third-party company which will seal the comic in a protective sleeve to preserve its integrity. New collectors will need to become familiar with this process if they plan on investing in rare comics. Other essential tools include comic price guides and market sales reports which help to ***** the value of a particular piece.
Collecting comic books has been an entertaining hobby for many decades, and it does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. With the continued influx of new characters and publishers, there will always be a solid foundation of new adventures to satisfy the fans. Perhaps the best part about this hobby is that there is always something new to learn along the way. By joining the legion of comic collectors around the world, you are guaranteed to have a rewarding hobby for years to come.
