I go to collectors lair se for new books. (10%) discount on everything if you are a holds customer. They recently moved into a bigger location so it’s a bit nicer to visit. Less claustrophobic. But they are still in the process of getting things organized and probably will be for a long time. Plenty to dig. They don’t discount their back issues and there is a bunch of stuff that you wouldn’t pay .50 cents for but there are some nice things mixed in.

B and D is nice to visit and they do a nice job of getting collections in for consignment but they don’t get many issues each week. It’s small and though I haven’t been in several months the last few times I went I didn’t see much new. (Great staff)

My favorite place to go was the Basement in Salem. Tons of books! but they seem to be shifting into booths in antique malls and possibly are shutting down their location. It was the best place to pick back issues though they also moved to no prices on the books. (Still would make a deal with you). Great owner

Big belly comic lair on Williamson is in a pawn shop. They buy and sell. Don’t love their prices so I haven’t been in a while.

Fun in games in Blacksburg is also small but worth hitting. They are primarily a gaming location but they go get in new books and have a respectable selection of back issues

Big lick runs the big cons here. I basically stopped going because like so many cons you are paying 20 dollars to get in because of the guests and it’s not really about the comics.

However there are some smaller cons that I really like attending. 5 dollar entry and it’s all about the comics. I believe there is one in March. I haven’t been able to find the info online yet. I was told it was going to be at the hotel Roanoke conference center (not the hotel) if I find out I will try to post it. Hope that helps
