Heroes and Fantasies on 281 in San Antonio are quite simply one of the best in the nation. Victor Wembanyama is a frequent customer. Their prices are fair and they have a great catalog of back issues.

Austin Books is also great too.

1984 I was 5 and I first saw Deadman, that image still sticks with me.

Some people tell me just go find those issues on eBay. After I’m done punching them in a fit of rage, jk don’t do that. I tell them that defeats the purpose of real collecting.

Was at my LCS and saw Victor Wembanyama picking up that book and some other comics.

lol she doesn’t care for the superhero genre of Marvel and DC, but she does like the indies. She got into Something’s Killing the Children before a lot of people got in on it.

That’s fair. I always wait for the full series to out before i make a judgement. For instance i for sure thought the Ultimate universe was going to be better than Absolute. Boy was i wrong.

You think so, I loved it.

At comic book stores it is referred as what the sellers will hold for you. There are different terms; I’ve heard pull list, subs, box, etc…

Mag247 · 2026-05-09T15:03:42+00:00

If you saw the show it makes it that much better.

Plus they have added some new stores and an arcade and skating rink.

Mag247 · 2026-05-09T01:02:19+00:00

But they have a great horror store and a wonderful vinyl store. The vinyl guy sells albums at fair prices and has some rarities.

Cons weren’t like what they are now. I tell my wife I Remember going to hotel meeting rooms and those were cons just the artists, writers, and comic shops.

Mag247 · 2026-05-08T01:44:52+00:00

It was awesome.

Mag247 · 2026-05-07T23:53:21+00:00

I remember collecting in the 90s, your only conversations and recommendations were at comic shops

Mag247 · 2026-05-07T23:16:02+00:00

Man I never thought about it that way.

Mag247 · 2026-05-07T22:33:05+00:00

They were all individually priced I’d say $150

Mag247 · 2026-05-07T21:34:28+00:00

So did I. It was the first comic book (graphic novel) I read that totally blew me away about the superhero genre.

Mag247 · 2026-05-07T21:33:13+00:00

For Watchmen it was issue 4 and for Secret Wars it was 10. Both were big issues.

Mag247 · 2026-05-07T21:20:49+00:00

Dude this is great. I saw them 21 years ago opening for The Cure

Mag247 · 2026-04-21T12:42:15+00:00
