Do you buy your comics from a store or over the Internet, and from who?

Answer 1

I go to a comic book convention and rummage through the sellers' bins. Especially those 5 comics for a buck, you could end up buying a key book because the seller doesn't know his comics. Like the last convention, I actually picked up a Secret Wars #8 for a quarter which made my day. I think convention prices are impossible to beat when you compare that to retail or even what's on eBay.

Answer 2

I'm old fashioned. From a store. From a store owner that knows me and sets aside what i collect and what i might find interesting. I've recently bought a few on EBay, not so much for 'collecting' sake but for nostalgia. Tracking down those few comics that inspired me as a kid. The ones that made me want to write and draw comics. Actually, the ones that spurned me to go to art school.

Answer 3

Mostly from my local comic shop Discount Hobby in Battle Creek, MI. But I do buy off of Ebay once in awhile if I can find a big lot at a good price.

Answer 4

I buy most of my books from local stores. I have a standing subscription @ Loony Toonz Games and Comics in New Bedford, MA.

Answer 5

I used to buy from a comic shop but it is much cheaper to by off of a website. I usually use mailordercomics.com. You have to order months in advance but you get exactly what you want bagged and in good condition.

Answer 6

From both. I go to Borders, Barnes and Noble for off the rack, and Marvel, DC, and Wizard for some that I missed.

Answer 7

I have always bought my books from the store, you never know what you might find as you browse the store

Answer 8

We have bought either off of E-Bay or garage sales.
