2nd & Charles is located among the stores of the Centre at Hagerstown. It was previously a Borders…read moreand its neighboring stores include Marshalls and HomeGoods. This store is supposed to be one of the smallest in the chain, but doesn't show it. Large selection of books, comics, DVD/Blu-ray's, and toys/collectables. If you don't know about 2nd & Charles, most of the items are used trade-ins from other customers, so you can never be sure what will be in stock. We had several questions about prices of items behind the counter which were quickly answered and the employees were helpful. Had a good selection of Manga but a smaller selection of Anime DVD/Blu-ray's. A large selection of comic longboxes were available, but per other 2nd & Charles their organization was not the best. Overall, store was clean and organized with an on-par selection of items compared to other stores. I would return here again.

The three stars is because this place is an utter mess of an massive amount of books. I don't understand why the books hardback and paperback for one author are separated. It's overwhelming to try and find a particular book. It's a good place if you have no expectations.

Usually they have a deal on CDs but I got a new car and wanted some banger albums and go figure that deal is done. Great place for cheap books - even new ones that were part of buyouts.

3/5/21 When I start collecting D.C Comics (mind you), I…read morewasn't as much into batman as I was Catwoman. Maybe it was my teenage hormones raging or the beautiful purple Catwoman suit with whip, but I had fallen hook line and sinker for her very own comics. Especially since this purple cat suit had no tail. Now believe it or not, I did not get my hands on the first copy first. It wasn't until the third copy came out that I went to go buy it. Unfortunately, the fourth edition came out by that time and the comic store did not have the other three copies. When I came home from The Gow School during my Winter Break, I went to Big Planet Comics to aquire the missing three comics. Big Planet Comics not only had the three missing books, but also plastic protective cases for them. Up until that point, I never cared or understood why people freaked out about their comics being opened and read. I got it all the moment I was interested in collecting Catwoman comics. I ordered my comics from D.C Comics, but not all the comics books came to me at school in pristine order. Enter Big Planet Comics once again. The comics that were not satisfactory were put to the side and the magazines I wanted were given plastic protective cases. I kept this up until I got 100 something Catwoman Comics. I must admit I was falling out of my comic book faze. Nevertheless, Big Planet Comics help keep everyone of my comic books safe, until they were thrown out be a storage company...yeah! Think BATS ^#IT CRAZY. "Que Sera Sera" she sings. I tell you what I believe... , "Oh, I believe in yesterday."
