I've been a regular customer and loyal subscriber at Comics on the Green since 1998 (over 28 years now!) Why do I love Comics on the Green so much? 1) In a time when some stores devote some of their space to selling comic books, THIS is a store truly dedicated to comic books. Modern Age, Bronze Age, Silver Age, Golden Age...CGC, ungraded...they've got them all. 2) You can count on the comic grading and the prices to be fair and reasonable - always. 3) They offer a great discounted subscription service and sales to help comic fans save money and afford new books to try. 4) They hold special events for their customers with authors, artists, and more. Don't miss out on Free Comic Book Day each May! 5) The store is brightly lit, organized, clean, and easy to move around in. I wish all comic book stores were like this! 6) Do you have kids? This is a family-friendly store with a section devoted to comics for kids!!! 7) Saving the best for last here...it's Dave, the owner, and Beckie and Josh. They are some of the friendliest comic-loving people I've ever met. It's no wonder Comics on the Green has been successful for so long. Dave is dedicated to his customers and to the comics he sells. You can depend on Dave to go the extra mile for you. His knowledge of comics and the industry is vast. Beckie is a talented artist who is always ready to offer suggestions if you'd like to discover some new and exciting comics. Don't miss out on her artwork and decorative touches around the store! Want to talk about movies and get even more comic book advice? Josh has you covered. Okay. Stop reading now. Plan your trip to Comics on the Green today!!! You'll be glad you did! read more

There's not a lot of comic places, but this is a nice comic place. Cause it has like the Fortnite comics Marvel And DC. If you have free time, go there. read more

Received great service from the owner and staff. There's always free posters by the entrance and local event information. They have a great selection of comics, manga, graphic novels and figures. What a great shop. read more

Both workers I see here are always kind and helpful, they have a wide selection of comics beyond the regular capes you'd expect

Such a joy to visit, I love getting lost in checking out the huge selection, from latest hot releases to collectibles from the past. The owners and staff are so kind and the effort put into curating selections for the variety of different fans of all ages out there shows how much they love this store. I'm personally into the cutting edge, original voices kind of comics and they always have something I'm looking for, and I can feed my need for big name superhero stuff in the same visit! Perfect! read more

Comics On the Green is located three blocks from the Mall at Steamtown (where we parked) and a block from the Lackawanna County Courthouse, so it's not hard to find. They have both a street and indoor entrance. The shop is not overly large and appears to have been two smaller shops merged into one. They had a large stock of new books on several shelves. LARGE well stocked selection of Graphic novels spread across several bookshelves. The shop stocked a decent amount of longboxes from various eras with a wide variety of titles including a few budget boxes. Side room of the store had a nice selection of various toys and collectables, but they don't stock many gaming items like Magic The Gathering or HeroClix. Shop had significant foot traffic during my visit. Owner was busy but friendly. Comics On the Green is a really solid shop making great use of an oddly shaped space. 2016 update: Due to the closure of another shop in Central PA, this is now the best shop in Eastern/Central PA outside of the Allentown and Harrisburg metro areas, so I've changed my rating to five stars. read more

Nice folks with a great selection. It's a good size store and the staff took the time to teach me about the series associated with the tee shirt I'd shown interest in. I ended up buying the book and the shirt. read more

My husband brought my two kids, 10 and 9 into the comic book store for the first time last Sunday. I wish I knew the gentleman's name that helped them, because he guaranteed lifelong comic book readers and loyal customers for life. He took the time to ask them questions about their interests, and his enthusiasm was infectious. I greatly appreciate how kind this fella was to my kids, what great customer service! read more

Found them on the Maps app on the iPhone. Super friendly workers. Very helpful. Told them what I was looking for and they went in the back to try to find more stuff. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town! read more

I went here looking to expand my Walking Dead comic collection and left with way more items than I anticipated for a great price. The workers are super friendly and helpful read more

See all

What a wonderful Shop! Great selection of comics and graphic novels. The staff was very helpful. A great place all around.

The last surviving comic book store in NEPA. That I like anyway. The staff and owner is awesome, the selection is amazing, and the can get you almost anything. Also they have awesome deals. I just scored Action Heroes archives vol 2 a $75 book for $19.95. And 22% off Tuesdays on TPBs I can't pass it up. This is my new comic shop. And will be my forever comic shop. read more

Comics On the Green - Comic Books Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Comics on the Green is the best comic book store in the area. The staff there is pretty knowledgeable and extremely friendly. There's always a group of guys sitting in the corner talking about comics and it's great listening in on their conversations - plenty to learn about the past and present of the industry. As with any comic book store, they do subscriptions, but the owner will go the extra mile as I've got a subscription for solely the variant covers of a particular comic I read. Prices are great, and they're always running great specials. read more

I walked in approximately once and decided to never return. I found the staff (owner?) to be rather rude to literally everone I saw/heard them come in contact with that day. Walked out without making a purchase because of that and the cost of what I was looking at being around 50% higher than I'd seen it for other places. I swear the only thing that keeps them in business is being the only real game in town in terms of their niche. read more

The only place I'll go in Scranton for comics and radical action figures! I got like 3 Doctor Who figures for less than $20! they have a giant Silver Surfer statue which is cool to stare at for a long time, friendly staff and they also carry some local comic books, which is cool. The one guy also knows a lot about bass guitar, which comes in handy if you want to buy comics and talk about Flea read more

My favorite comic shop ever and I've been to a lot. Dave and his staff carry a very wide selection of comics, figures and collectibles. If it's not there they'll do their best to order it for you. Always friendly and personable. If I lived closer i would be there every Wednesday. read more

I live in Philly and I absolutely love coming to Comics on the Green every time I come to Scranton to visit. The staff is superbly friendly and knowledgable. Although Philly has some good shops, I would easily put Green ahead of any of them. Furthermore, I travel quite a bit and I very rarely enjoy a shop this much. A true gem. read more

A great comic shop in downtown Scranton. The owner was super nice and knows what he's talking about. I went in looking for a rather obscure graphic novel to give as a gift and with very little information on my part he knew exactly what I was looking for. When purchasing for myself the action figure selection always impresses me. read more

Excellent selection. I am not a comic book person, but my husband is and I almost had to physically drag him out of there. He was giddy with the diverse selection and knowledge of the staff. He wants to live in Scranton now, simply for the comic shop. read more

This store is amazing. I go there so much they know me by name. Great selection of new comics, old comics, kids comics, graphic novels, and action figures. The service is great, staff friendly and always happy to help in any way possible. If you love comics and are in the Scranton area, stop in and tell Dave, Josh says hi. read more

WOW this place is incredible! I kind of happened upon it by chance today and was pleasantly surprised as to how nice all the employees were. They went out of their way to make sure I found everything I wanted and even discounted a pre-order I made by 20% - I ended up buying more than I planned hahaha. They had a massive selection of comics and graphic novels, including cheap back-issues. Everything was sealed and preserved beautifully and organized flawlessly- it was a neat freak's dream come true and I swear I started salivating at all the perfect, gorgeous order. They also have special pricing on Tuesdays, but today was Wednesday... In any case, they officially have a customer for life. Can be a little tricky to find, it's right on the same block as Thai Thai, if that helps. read more

AWESOME!! Staff here are incredibly friendly and genuinely care and want to help you find the perfect comic series to read. I came into this store a month ago knowing absolutely nothing about comic books, and now I come every Wednesday! HIGHLY recommend! read more

Very cool comic shop near the courthouse in downtown Scranton. Owner is friendly and has a great selection of back issues, TPBs and action figures. The first time I stopped by, I noticed the smell of old paper that is unique to comic shops; it's not an offensive smell by any means but rather a scent I associate with the best of comic shops and used book stores. read more

Everyone here is so incredibly nice, patient, and helpful. I always have a great experience and the selection is top-notch. I consider myself a casual comic reader, but they always have fantastic recommendations and have helped me expand my horizons. I live almost 30 miles away, but gladly drive that distance to come here. read more

Best comic book store in the area. Huge selection. Dave and his staff are super helpful and very knowledgeable.

Dave is honest, has deep integrity, put a great deal of energy into the business and has an amazing amount of knowledge about current books and the history of the hobby. That and the selection in the store as well as the professionalism and friendliness of his staff make this the best comic store that you could ever hope to walk into. read more

I've been shopping here for years! It's the best comic store ever! Dave, the owner is always very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about his comics. Matt and the rest of the staff are excellent, too! Thank you! read more

Awesome selection of new and back issues. Also a super helpful staff with a vast amount of comic book knowledge. Very very impressed, worth the drive I had to make. read more
