Question 1

What do you sell?

Accepted Answer

New comics, graphic novels, manga, and back issues; trading card games, board games, role-playing games, and gaming accessories; collectibles and action figures; plus original artwork, local artwork, prints, stickers, T-shirts and apparel, and pop-culture merchandise. Custom artwork and commissions too.

Question 2

Do you offer comic subscriptions or pull lists?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell us the titles, characters, or creators you follow and we'll set those books aside for you each week. Subscriptions and pull lists are managed through Comic Shop Assistant, the shop's operational system. Start with a subscription inquiry and we'll take it from there.

Question 3

Do you carry miniatures?

Accepted Answer

Miniatures are not a regular category here. We focus on trading card games, board games, role-playing games, accessories, collectibles, and action figures.

Question 4

Where can I buy JD's art and merch?

Accepted Answer

Online through the Etsy shop, where prints, shirts, and stickers are sold and checkout, payment, and shipping are handled securely. In person, the Manayunk store carries additional art and merchandise that isn't listed online.

Question 5

Can I commission custom artwork?

Accepted Answer

Yes, commissions are open. Review the examples, send an inquiry with your idea, and JD reviews the scope personally. Price and deposit are agreed before work begins. Submitting an inquiry does not confirm acceptance, pricing, or turnaround.

Question 6

What events do you run?

Accepted Answer

Gaming Night every Monday, Drink & Draw on the first Thursday of each month, and the Graphic Novel Book Club on the third Thursday of each month. The events page shows the next date for each.

Question 7

What time do events start?

Accepted Answer

Start time varies. Contact the shop or check social media for the current start time.

Question 8

Can I check what's in stock on the website?

Accepted Answer

No. This site doesn't show complete live inventory, for comics or anything else. Stock changes quickly, and a stale list helps nobody. Call the shop, email, or stop in for what's actually on the shelf today.

Question 9

Do you have a loyalty program?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's an in-store loyalty program managed through Square. Ask about it at the counter or email the shop and we'll explain how it works for your purchases.

Question 10

Where are you and when are you open?

Accepted Answer

4327 Main Street, Philadelphia, PA 19127. Monday through Thursday 12–7 (Wednesday until 8), Friday 12–8, Saturday 11–7, and Sunday 11–5.
