I love this place because of the closet-like feel it has; jam-packed with all kinds of gems, new and old. Aardvark has a great overall selection of mostly silver to modern-age stuff, however the books are very overpriced. Comic books, like other collectibles, hold value when people are seeking them and when availability is limited. Much of the inventory at aardvark is by no means rare or unattainable, with the exception of an arm-full of graded comics, autographed books and prints, and other random oddities. That said, the pricing and the expectations of the consumer to pay these prices, especially during current economic times, is unrealistic. Although the place is a small indie shop that needs the business, you still have to consider other people’s wallets. The fact that comics are, again, only worth what people are willing to pay should allow for more Flexibility on pricing and a more accurate target price to begin with. I’ll definitely be returning, but only when I’m looking for something really special when money is not an option. Good luck and take care!

It was my first time passing by therefore I decided why not shop here since I collect comics and funko pops so I walked into the store only to get yelled at. How was I supposed to know that the store was not open for business yet when the front entrance doors were unlocked. What makes me laugh is that I visit family nearby quite often and every time I pass by this comic store it's empty therefore I would think that this business owner would be more positive. During these harsh times I would think this business owner would be more friendly hoping not to lose his business for good.
It's a comic book store! Has a big selection of back issues, my only gripe is that the back issues are overpriced. Items that I can find in the 2 bin at Big B Comics are selling for 9 here. It's fine I guess if you're looking for that 1 issue to finish off a collection but don't go expecting to save a few bucks if you buy a bundle of comics.
Good location to get older comics, original art and also an introduction into grading and comic history.
Great back issues destination! At 67, very soon to be 68, I am not interested in the new stuff. The owner has a great knowledge of old issues & pop culture. The owner is very personable. Support this shop or it will disappear with the disappearance of new comics with Diamond Distributors going into \lockdown\.
