This is a spectacular gem for an area as dreary as Baltimore suburbia. The building itself is located on what would have become the mainstreet of Essex, and is situated near a museum and monument. The facade is usually decorated, and is extremely charming. It always gives me a fuzzy feeling to look at the displays in the window. As for the inventory, it's fantastic. There are a variety of genres and media formats available, and, yes, there are comics. I appreciate how eccentric some of the items are, which included an album from Evelyn Evelyn (something I thought not possible). The staff is very pleasant, but they will become rightfully upset if you plan to loiter (which has become/is an issue). I fell victim to this as a kid, mostly because the store is seriously friggin' cool. read more

Amazing store and staff was friendly and helpful. I was surprised at the selection of comics, games, and collectibles.

I almost docked a star because Yelp listed their location as the old one so we got here in twice the time we thought we would, but i'm just super happy with their selection here. They had a LOT of model kits and comics, aswell as lots of Goji goodies and anime stuff. The whole right side of the store has most of the figures, so it was pretty easy navigating and looking around. The staff were pretty nice, as far as I could tell. The prices weren't half bad either, definitely better than the ones at Tate's back in SoFlo - sorry, Tate's. I snagged me a King Piccolo for 80 bucks, and Tao Pai Pai was essentially MSRP!! the other figures, even their rarer Mario S.H. Figuarts were pretty fair prices, with them being 10-20 bucks more expensive than online. Also, that mural in the front is damn cool. read more

See all

A great family owned business with fair pricing and an amazing selection of models, games, pops, etc. A true gem of a hobby shop. Very sad to see they moved further away from me but this is an amazing store, great staff, and good vibes. read more

I was looking for new comic book stores to go to and found this on the Apple Maps. Not only do they have a HUGE selection, it's also close to my house! It's inventory is overwhelming upon your first entry compared to other stores. Ranging from back issues, new issues, image, marvel, DC, used books, toys, figurines, manga, crafting supplies, figures to build yourself, and more! Anyways, I try to come in Wednesdays to get new issues or just browse in general. Well organized store and it even has parking in the back! Everyone is also very helpful! read more

I am a comic reader rather than collector, so I buy a lot of trade paperbacks and Omnibuses. I have never seen such a HUGE selection of those in one place as at Chuck's Comics. read more

Awesome store, great deals and a great mixture of games, books and action figures. Really like the store so did my wife, the guy working there the day we went was really nice and helpful. If you're in town definitely go read more

This is the BEST comic book shop in Baltimore! Chuck has devoted his life to understanding the business of comics, anime, and anything with superheroes and the rarity of it! This shop has been around for 30 strong years and everyone is extremely nice and friendly. If he doesn't have it, he'll get it imported from Japan if he can. This guy is a truly dedicated and genuine man. He even fixed some of my props for me. read more

A great local business that everyone should support! They have an extensive collection of funko pops, which my kids love. They also have comic books galore, trading cards, and unique collectibles. Keep an eye out for special events that include sidewalk sales and free hot dogs! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed myself at CC. People were great and solid deals. Came again during a flea market and got some fantastic deals. Will come back! A+! read more

I've been going to Chuck's since 1993 and I've followed him to his third and current location. Best spot in town to get your comic books and other Sci-Fi paraphernalia. The crew there is super friendly and always eager to help. read more

Good selection of back issues and tons of toys/statues/Funko pops to choose from. You can find some good stuff here if you go digging through their selection because the space is pretty large inside. Especially awesome during Free Comic Book Day, it's a whole event here. I really only give it 3 stars because staff has been grouchy/curt with me on a few occasions in there. Also the flipping of the Pops from other stores kind of rubs me the wrong way. read more

Excellent layout, clean and bright, immense selection and variety...there isn't a bad thing I could find or say about this place. You just don't find comic hobby shops like these just anywhere...and I'm glad this one is close to me--even though I'm not a comic hobbiest anymore! read more

Chuck's Comics - Comic Books Near Me - Joppa, Maryland

We ordered a book for our son. It arrived and was way too violent so we returned it the next day. It was returned in the same packaging and was in pristine condition. On his website he offers a full refund. However he refunded 80% and didn't return shipping either. We buy comics and epic collections every single week. We thought we would try out this local store but between his rude emails and the refusing to honor a refund, we give this place one star. We had planned to just order a different comic from the same store but now we won't. It was so easy for him to just make it right. We don't know why he's being so difficult. read more

Amazing store! It was a walk back in time to my childhood. They every type of comic book and tabletop gane you could think of from popular ones like D&D to ones I never heard of. The staff were super knowledable too and knew details and rules of every game I asked. Can't wait to go back! read more

My favorite comic book store in MD! When you first walk into Chuck's Comics your greeted by a employee (I like to be acknowledged when I go into a store) and asked if there was anything you need help finding after that your not badgered over and over your free to roam the store and what a store it is. They have the largest supply of modern to golden age back issues I have ever seen, (not tons of gold but I normally don't see a lot of gold in places other then conventions) all of them in order in the center of the store. One entire wall is dedicated to graphic novels while the other side of the store is just filled to the brim with toys funko pops and gaming stuff. There is room in the back with tables set up for warhammer and games like that and tables down for card and board games. Also another great thing its CLEAN and organized. This is my weekly stop so I can't recommend them enough. read more

Excellent comic book shop with a huge backstock great guys always willing to help but will let u shop in peace, always keep an eye out for specials they have great deals one of the largest back stocks if you are looking to finish some comic series' along with many many toys and figures worth the drive! read more

I have only been here once, but I was so satisfied with the place as a whole to the point where I've been really wanting to go back! There are so many different series so there's one for everyone. I also didn't think that there would be any Clive Barker comics nor graphic novels, but there are! read more

I am here every week and have never had a real complaint, the staff is always knowledgeable, welcoming, and above all else helpful. The good pricing and occasional store wide sales don't hurt either. Unless you are a wallet. read more

Its where my box is at. Best comic book store around. Huge store with lots of things for the average and the novice nerd. The comics are well taken care of, some stores new comics are kept on the metal rack with the chance of bends in the books, not here because the wooden back is the way it should be. The owner and staff are great and knowledgable and fantastic. This store helped me and my wife get into comics, the owner talked to us for 20 minutes and was so helpful and made me and my wife feel like we weren't just a sale, definitely made me a customer for life. Have been to every comic store within 10 miles and not one can beat Chucks. read more

Fun store. Has a large selection of Graphic Novels. Has a lot of games and events in the evenings. Plenty of parking in the rear

In my opinion Capt Chuck's Comics is one of the Top Tier stores in the Baltimore area. The store is very well organized and doesn't suffer from being cluttered like a lot of Comic Shops. The customer service is top notch with a stellar collection of HC's and TPB's. Worth making the tip for their Black Friday sale! read more

This place is great. The selection is amazing and its more than just a comic book store. It also doubles as a game store with its great variety of different miniature and board games. It also boats gaming areas in the back and the staff run tournaments and such to keep people coming back. read more
