    Wish they had more indie, but not bad overall. The storage units for the back issues are really nice to look through. Everything is so CLEAN!!

    I have since decided this is the best comic book store in the city. Mostly because of the people: knowledgeable yes, but not pretentious. It's a very inviting and fun atmosphere they've created.

    Check out the rack of local comics near the back. Lots of cool zines still being put out in the Chicago area. Makes for good stocking stuffers too.

    Tucked away in a little corner in Andersonville, there is a store called AlleyCat Comics. Check in w @bellycard & get a free $1 comic, punch a staff member in the stomach or receive a $20 gift card

    The owners were incredibly nice! That tiny unassuming entrance leads to a fantastic store. Can't wait to go back!

    A hidden gem of a comic book store. Events, great selection, staff/owners always give great advice, and are super friendly!

    An airy and bright place to browse the latest comic book or graphic novel.

    My husband loves it when we can stop here - a great place to celebrate his (not so inner) nerdiness.

    Quote from my wife...”this is the only comic book store I’ve ever been in where I don’t feel like a curiosity for being a woman.”
