This is the second location of Fat Jack's Comicrypt. Compared to the Philadelphia location, this…read moreshop is a little smaller, but has one key advantage: Free parking. It's also located next to The House of Fun toy shop. Interior of the shop is nothing to look at; it's rough and could use a renovation. New pull selection of comics was fair, but had a good selection of graphic novels. Almost no wall books to speak of. Where this shop stands out is, like the other location, is the large longbox selection. This takes up the majority of the shops space. An important item worth noting is the shop does have several comic cats. They are friendly and like pets. Overall, while this location could use a renovation, I think it's easier to access and better then the Philadelphia shop.

I went here for Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) as a way to finally get a feel for the place. I had…read moreheard of Fat Jack's, but I always keep forgetting to check it out considering it's right down the street from Secret Origins. But I figured FCBD was the perfect opportunity since most shops use it as a way to connect with and introduce new patrons to their business. Upon opening the front door, I was immediately greeted by a very friendly cat. I thought, okay, this is my type of place, being a cat guy myself. But that's where the warm feelings end. Unfortunately, the feline was the only friendly personality here as the owner didn't want to acknowledge or make it feel like I was really wanted. (And after reading some of these other reviews, I can see that I'm not alone in that regard.) As for the selection of books itself, there is certainly a HUGE selection of new releases and back issue bins to go through. Unfortunately, all the back issues are priced at market value or higher. Not exactly a competitive price considering all of the other local comic book stores in the same area have much better pricing. Plus, dollar bins.

I live in New York City and only found out about Bill and Frankenstein Comics from a great YouTube…read moreseries "Comic Trips". I made the 2 hour drive because he was the only comic shop would had the common courtesy to respond to my inquiry of selling some old comics. He said to just come down and we'll take care of you. He did. He gave me a great deal and was the nicest store owner I ever met. The shop is a TRUE comic book shop. A bit hard to move around in, but if you need back issues at a great price, this is the place to go. The man even drew me a map of all the nearby shops for whatever I was interested in, including comics. Right next door is Retro Station, a great, fairly priced retro toy store, making the trip that much better. Although going there just for Frankenstein Comics is well worth it.

This is a great place to find back issues of alot of random series. The chaos of the back issue boxes is a bit confusing if you aren't sure what you are actually looking for. I found older Teen Titans and have gotten a few here and there. Recently, tonight actually, I went there for one reason but came away with a surprise purchase of back issues of one of my favorite past series. I was not expecting there be to be any since it's not really one of the mainstream heroes and has been out of print for a few years now, but this was a great surprise. And its great to have the 20% off back issues too. I'm incredibly happy, and with these that I gotten tonight I'll probably be on the hunt for more to fill the holes. Personally I love to support a local, small business. This being the only comic book store in the area I think it's important to go there especially. They also have a huge selection of action figures and some sports merchandise. Give it a shot if you're happy for surprise back issue finds and up for supporting independents ;) Loyal to this place to the end. Also I don't know what the situation was with the first reviewer, but the owner has always been really nice and friendly I think. Just pay more attention to what your children pay for their comics, reading material returns is touchy because it would be easy to read something once and return it and no one can keep a business open that way. Think about the state of the economy and the state of the comic book industry and you can understand the attitude of a business owner. Back issues always have a price tag on it plus usually there is a sign saying that there is a % discount, new issues are always as printed on the front unless a sticker says otherwise, books are going to be printed on the back. Honestly ask the price before buying and you won't run into trouble like that. Sometimes the customer really isn't right, I'm sorry but it is true. Don't blindly buy something without knowing what you are paying and what you are paying for. In conclusion, support small business, ask the guy questions he is nice, and enjoy comic books because they are awesome.

Now the staff there is always very friendly and knowledgeable, but it's not one of my go-to spots for comics. Mainly because their pricing on the back stock could be more competitive. Sure, you might occasionally find an outstanding deal, as I have come across in the past, but more often than not, that isn't the case. At least in the physical store. However, the exception is when Panther Comics is a vendor at different comic shows in other cities. Now THAT is where you will find incredible gems at phenomenal prices from them. In fact, I've bought over fifty key issue books from Panther this way at only a dollar or two a book. I consider that a deal (or steal). Too bad it's not the norm at their central location. If that were the case, then I would totally come here a lot more often. **TIP: They offer to submit services to CGC if you want to get your books graded. I heard another customer inquiring about it when I was there once, but I don't recall the exact pricing details.
