    So much more than just a comic shop. This place is transportive, escapist, nostalgic, subversive & commercial all at the same time. Filled to brim w comics seemingly in every crevice, everything is well labeled even if overwhelming. The toys & paraphernalia feel cluttered, but are perfectly organized once you pay attention. The place is curated well and contains a plethora of pop-culture artifacts that easily span decades. The tshirts are a lot of fun w references to everything from movies, comics, music, local lore, & a fascinating take on Baphomet that deserves artistic praise. The only downside I need to mention is that the store contents encourage browsing & a leisurely pace to take it ALL in, but the spaces are tight & there's no restroom available. I felt some cognitive dissonance wanting to stay & FIND something to spend money on but also getting out of the way. Not an easy problem to solve, I imagine, considering the space available at the location. And perhaps part of the charm.

    "With the exception that we don't accept AMEX, we're perfect in every way", boasts the Simpons-Comic-Guy-esk owner. And I must agree. Coast City Comics is pretty amazing. During my visit, several of my fondest childhood memories flooded back as I perused an extensive collection of authentic old school toys, video game cartridges, a small but sufficient pinball arcade, comic books, and lots of other relics that I hadn't seen or heard about in decades. Coast City Comics is a must-visit when in the Portland area. It's like an museum of awesome, where everything is for sale. At a minimum, stop by to get the feels and to pick up a sweet Coast City Comics t-shirt (like I did) for $15. But if you have a single collector-bone in your body, I dare you to walk out empty handed!

    The retro toys and pinball machines alone are worth a visit. You'll find He-Man, Ninja Turtles, M.U.S.C.L.E. Men, and other toys of yore that will make evoke an, "OMG, I remember those!" Happily, they're pretty darn affordable, so you can add some to your collection (or just impulse buy for no good reason) if you like. The whole back section of the store is filled with pinball machines. I don't really play, but it's very cool. The place has a pleasantly cluttered and slightly dirty feel, which works with the somewhat vintage vibe they have going. The staff will strike up a conversation with you about all things nerdy, if you want, and they're helpful and knowledgeable of their inventory. The comics selection is fine and dandy, just as you'd hope. I enjoy spending time in this place, and if you like comics, toys, the 80s, pinball, or things of that nature, I bet you will too.

    I've been to many comic/collectable shops all up and down the coast and this one definitely tops the list. Not only are they full of great current and classic collectables, but to boot they're well organized!! They've even got an arcade in the back with some fantastic geek-themed pinball machines!! Don't miss out on the t-shirt collection. There's some amazing prints to be found that you won't see anywhere else.

I popped in during a fall trip to Portland, and within two steps, I understood why this place stays busy. It's cozy, it's nostalgic, and it has that "you're definitely leaving with something you didn't plan to buy" -- and I absolutely did. The book selection is diverse. They do an incredible job curating local authors, Maine-themed reads, and those charming "I'll never find this anywhere else" gems. It's the kind of shop where you browse slowly because every shelf has a little surprise. The gifts + stationery section is dangerous (in the best way). Cute cards, puzzles, journals, mugs... basically an stress-free way to knock out gift shopping. Staff was friendly without hovering. Asked for a recommendation and got a great one -- points awarded. Yes, the aisles are a little tight. Yes, you might bump into people. But honestly? That's part of the cozy bookstore ecosystem. If you want Barnes & Noble spacing... this isn't that. And that's why it works. If you're in downtown Portland, Sherman's is an absolute must-stop. Whether you buy a book, a puzzle, or just soak up the cozy, indie-bookstore magic -- you'll leave happier than you walked in.

And looked at the lobster bake supplies, and clothing, and shoes. All great items for camping or for your home at great prices. I had asked if they had a bathroom, and they said no. And later as I'm walking around, I notice all the business say no bathroom on the outside of their door. Not even if you're a customer. A lot of homelessness that has made it difficult for paying customers to use the bathrooms. It's sad, cause I had done hours of walking around Old Port and Portland area, and there's no place to go to the bathroom. Times have changed
