Ancient Comics is the best place in the Seattle area to buy those hard to find back issues, gold and silver age keys

Here we go again! Can we say "hook you up!?" Look at these two beauties that I picked up from ancient comics. Jeff even went as far to put them off to the side and let me know that he held them specifically for me. Wow, customer service to the max! I have been a customer at Ancient Comics for over three years and let me tell you they are the best comic book store for back issues, bar none. Thanks again Jeff! read more

Purchased a Superman comic off of eBay. It came right on time, well packaged, and a note with an email if I had any problems with the order. I highly recommend purchasing from this shop. The selection of comics is also very impressive and the prices are very fair read more

Great little shop! The owner is super knowledgeable, clearly has a passion for it. Tons of discounted long boxes and back issues. Decent selection of hardcovers and tons of trade paperbacks. My five year old and I leave happy every time we visit. read more

I have known Jeff for close to ten years now. He is a straight shooter about comics and knows his stuff to the Letter. He gives discounts for his regulars. I don't visit as much as I'd like to because I'm so busy but he has expanded his shop. If your looking for golden age and back issues he has it. His prices are unbeatable. I won't go anywhere else. Always more than fair and honest. He has a half price area as well as 25 cent comics. Take a peek here: I'm Never disappointed. read more

Great shop - amazing selection and very knowledgeable owner. Doesn't mind you poking through the bins for hours and he loves to talk about the history of the industry. Not just an owner but also a fan of the hobby. The one critique I have - stuff is maybe a bit on the higher end when it comes to price. Not that unexpected given that it is a brick and mortar shop and he will cut you a break if you are buying a lot of stuff. read more

I've read and collected comics since the 70s. 60s 70s and 80s are my favorite. Saying that, Ancient Comics is the best comic store I've ever been to. The walls are meticulously covered in Affordable! fantastic comics. This shop blows the other "comic" shops in Seattle out of the water. Also, my 3 year old is way into comics like Richie Rich, Archie, Casper looney tunes and disney. Go to other shops and they are about 10$ each. Jeff, the owner, ( super nice guy) has boxes of readers for 50 cents a mag. Boinggg! Ancient Comics has made comic shopping fun again. Long live A.C. !!!! I really can't say enough great things about this place. read more

This place flat out fucking rules. I went with my girlfriend literally just now and he was so helpful and informative and he has a TON of the green lantern 90s run which is a huge score for me! I'll definitely be back again as a repeat customer! If you ever read this thanks again I'll see you soon! read more

I recommend a visit to Ancient Comics for those of you who love to go through back issue bargain long boxes. It's not like you're going to find speculation treasures. You will find hidden treasures for reading fun. I spent an hour there this morning and flipped through four long boxes full of 25 cents comics. The owner was really nice and easy going. I bought a nice stack of comics i.e. Concrete, Jon Sable, The Ultimates, Ms Tree, The Nam, Jonny Quest, Superman, Miracleman, Death, and Supreme. That's a lot of bedtime reading. I'm sure I would have found many others if I had more time at the shop. Unfortunately, I'm here on vacation and had limited time for comic books. From now on every time I'm visiting Seattle I'll take a trip to Ancient Comics in Burien, near SEA-TAC airport. read more

Just made a second selling trip to AC - came away with more than I expected. Sorted my books quickly and made me a fair offer - couldn't be more satisfied!!! read more

I liked the store but I was treated as in wasn't even there. I literally look through all the magic cards and a few co mk is for atleast 30 to 45 mins before asked if I needed help. After I had found what I need I was yet again ignored while the owner talked garbagepail kids with I am guessing a regular that come in. I'll give then store another shot it's a neat store just wish he was more into customer service. read more

This guy has everything good and he priced stuff accordingly. He will even give you a deal if you buy lots of stuff. Love this place wont go anywhere else read more

Jeff is tops for comics, friendly and knowledgeable -about Magic and comics- and a tremendous resource for back issues of any era. read more

Great service amazing selection and great prices, my favorite place to go when I'm looking to add to my comic book collection

Jeff, the owner, is very helpful and friendly. Great place to pick up a few new or old or both comics. Very reasonably priced and in better than expected conditions. Highly recommended! read more

Great comic experience. The owner is extremely friendly and they had several key issues I wanted. They also had several comic sets already put together that were very well priced. read more

The name is true to what the store has. Upon entering store, I knew I would enjoy shopping there. Could not see the walls......comics, comics, comics. What a true comic store should be, not a gaming store. If you are looking for bronze, copper, silver or golden age, stop looking and go there. Owner was very knowledgeable and friendly, going above and beyond what is expected. Even had business cards, imagine that! This is my store. read more

We stopped by after having dinner since it was a place we always have wanted to check out. The owner was nice, gave me the boyfriend and his son a free comic book. We couldn't stay to actually browse the store but it was the sons birthday tomorrow. His dad asked the owner when they would be open tomorrow and was told 10:00. Said it was his son's birthday tomorrow and they would be back then. The dad already had his eye on a few things on the wall. So they were going to have a father son day and the comic books stop was going to be their first stop. They have some breakfast at the diner next door and then head over to the comic books store. Not open and it's 10:00, they wait around for about 10-15 mins and still no sign of the owner. Not wanting to waste the day the pair head off to Southcenter. I still want to go back and REALLY check it out but this does leave a sad face. Especially while when I was in the store I heard the owner talking to someone else about people just coming in and not buying their kids stuff. read more

So I yelped around to find a comic book store in Seattle near the airport in order to grab some books for the plane and my collection. Found this place and came in. This place is unlike other comic books stores, they don't have modern books or current books. That section simply does not exist, which was a little disappointing since its the only reason I was looking for a comic book store in the fist place. This place specializes in older comics and trading. So if you are in the market for maybe older books that maybe are missing from your collection this would be a good place to find that. Or if you have some comics you may want to trade or sell them, yes, this might work here. read more

Got back into Comics after I retired and stopped into Ancients for a look. Wasn't really looking for Marvel/DC but to my surprise, I found comics by Leonard Nimoy(Spock) Primortals, Gene Roddenberry's Lost Universe, and others in really good condition for .25 cents each. No matter what you like or level collector you are there is something for everybody and the Owner Jeff knows his stuff. read more

Because of the cool bald headed guy who owns the store, I have a nice small collection of Hulk Comic books.

If you are in the market for key back issues, Ancient Comics is definitely the place to go. Jeff (owner) is a genuinely a good person and is an asset to the comic book community. I will definitely make it a habit to visit when I'm in the Burien area read more

Visited today. Guy that runs it seems pretty chill and nice. I actually enjoyed how I could just peacefully browse. Amazed at the discounts and sets. I'm an out of towner from Puyallup who will come again when I'm in the area. As a female I didn't feel judged either which was great. :) I think the only recommendation I would suggest is monthly releases coming out now were available and more indie comics. I may have missed them so if im wrong please feel free to correct me. read more

Came here because a friend recommended it , and I must say I'm glad I did ... Organized , friendly , awesome back issue collections , will be frequenting more in the future ..... read more

Let me tell you about ancient comics. Jeff the owner is super awesome and nice! If you are looking for something rare golden or silver Era this is the place. Walking into the store is a kid and adult collectors dream! From magic the gathering and 25 cents bins the place has something for every one. Stop in pick up some great back issues or just stop in and play some magic. You rock jeff! read more

Jeff is AMAZING, INCREDIBLE and probably INVINCIBLE. Great guy who... as he is in my age range.. has many of the same favs as I do in the MCU. Willing to negotiate a bit on more expensive books which is also cool. Best back issue selection I have ever seen under a single roof and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to patronize a privately owned store. Jeff is living the dream ... his store is almost exactly as I had envisioned mine one day (as a teen; life goals change but love for comics has not). SOLID knowledge base, very friendly. I typically go in only every couple of months but always buy a rare book or two and supplies. NO sales pressure... he was going to put back the book I was looking at from his upstairs "MVP room". So happy a genuine guy like this is succeeding with a privately owned "labor of love". I will be back again, and again! Would rather pay a few dollars more for a book to patronize a cool guy like Jeff then take my chances on eBay to be honest. Supporting local business is always a good thing and Jeff makes it a real pleasure! It's like going to an old friend's home and looking at and talking comics with someone who loves them as much as you do! Bless UP read more

This is a great store, Jeff is a great owner who has a lot of product at fair prices. I'm definitely going to go back and was happy with the interaction at the store. read more

Great prices, great selection of old comics. I go at least a couple of times a month, and just ravage the stacks. Jeff is great, his prices are really fair, and he does a great job. Highly recommended! If you're looking for back issues of your favorite titles, go here first. read more

This place is great they got a super good selection from old to new and the owner is super cool and friendly and knows a lot about comics and great prices read more

Took my very young grand kids into this place as my grandson is just getting into comics. Owner knew exactly what my kids asked for and we all left excited to start their new comic book collections. Even got my grand daughter some fun stuff. Very reasonably priced, very friendly people and we will be visiting again soon. On top of that, I am a firm believer in supporting local small businesses so an extra perc! read more

Ancient Comics is a great place to find and talk about current and vintage comics and Magic the Gathering (MTG) cards. The prices are BETTER than you'll find online and the selection is great! The owner has 20 plus years experience and is happy to let people come in and play MTG anytime. This is just a part of what makes this a great community shop! read more

I was met with excellent service when I walked in to pick up a couple comic books. Store was clean, well lit, easy to see what was for sale. Huge selection of items- quarter comics, 50 cents comics, and even pre-packaged sets. I needed to buy a gift for a coworker (but I dont know much about comics) and it turns out the owner is a really great guy! Super nice, very charismatic. Excellent selection of magic cards too- but I didnt have time to inspect it as much. I got a Batman Arkham asylum comic book and a Wolverine- Origins book. Not too shabby condition, fair prices, and a friendly attitude. I'll be back! read more

So if you want to get hooked up with the best deal in town then your gonna want to stop into ancient comics. This guy named Jeff runs the place and is ooper cool and has tons of wisdom when it comes to super hero's and which comic issue you can find them in. Oh and he also has a nice collection of magic the gathering, I typically go and hang out there on the weekends and play some standard but he has it all, if you wanna pimp out your legacy deck or if you need a new general for edh? I dont think your gonna find a better deal anywhere else. All I'm saying is check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Ancient Comics on a regular basis for over a year now and it's arguably the best place I've been to when it comes to finding great deals on comics or Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Jeff (the owner) has been operating in the Burien area since I was back in elementary school, which makes me feel that much more at home when I go there. He has a great selection of both older and newer comics (in fact, he just finished adding a bunch of newer stuff to his collection), as well as lots of Magic cards. The reason I love going to Jeff's place for comics is because his is the only store I've ever been to that has a "50% off" section, as he sells all of the new comics that he has for half off. Aside from having great deals on all of his merchandise, Jeff is just a great guy to hang out with, especially if you wanna talk about comics or Magic, as he is incredibly knowledgeable (with over 20 years of experience) about both subjects. So if you're interested in comics or Magic, are looking for information about a certain issue or card, or just wanna hang out and play a game of MTG then Ancient comics is definitely the place for you. read more
