I have a bulk supply of comics I need to sell, and I called all my local spots, including this one. The older gentleman that answered the phone was so quick to help me understand my market value even though he couldn't assist in purchasing my supply. He offered a lot of expertise and great insight and I truly appreciate him for it! God bless! read more

I got chance to visit this wonderful store today. As a life long comic collector it was a real treat to find a good old fashioned comic store. Sid, the owner, is a really knowledgeable gentleman to chat with. This store is a local gem. Even though it's "old school" you'll find current releases plus a good selection of back issues. I stumbled upon an issue of Suoerboy that had a Legion appearance plus some Keith Giffen art I never knew existed! What an exciting find because I've seen that story reprinted. Several current comics pros have dropped by the shop and you'll find autographed issues as well. Stop by and support this great shop. read more

When one is in need to visit an old school establishment that specializes in all things comic book go no further. This is da place for the time traveling adventurer. Sid is the wizard of pleasures of the past whose extensive collection can easily visit even those most remote days of childhood wonder. The man has an almost encyclopedia of knowledge and can easily recommend a title to read read more

See all

I was out here in Palm Desert for vacation and I wanted to go to local comic book shops because I like to see what they have to offer and see how their atmosphere. When I came in, I was greeted really welcoming I was told to put on gloves Which I understand. The atmosphere is great and the best one in the city in Palms Desert. It literally any guys dreams man cave. He has posters everywhere , shelf's of comics and the shop is playing some classic DC cartoon show and it's a cool vibe also there's a couch there too so I'm guessing you can sit back and read correct me if I'm wrong. They l have tons of options and bins of comic books I think it's great to hunt down for the comics in there. He does have a lot of comics. But it was also awkward for me because I never been to a comic book shop where you have to wear gloves due to COVID 19 . I respect that and understand. But personally I wasn't a big fan of it and I couldn't go through the books because of the gloves . Comics are slipping through my hand and I didn't feel comfortable going through books with the gloves. it was hard for me so I thought I just left for this reason. read more

Super friendly people working in here and great selection of comics. Location and hours are great too.

Headed over for Free Comic Book Day and had a good time looking through older stuff and grabbing some free comics.

Best comic store in the valley, by far! Sid is the man! Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We won't get our titles anywhere else. Thanks! read more

Great and very chill spot for any comic-lover! Also did is a very experienced and chill dude!, tons of backstop including many variants! Overall nice spot, very chill owner and many comics read more

Best comic book shop in the valley with great service and well in informed employees.

I'm not a regular comic book customer. In fact, I don't know all that much about them so going into these niche stores can be intimidating. If you're like me and prefer the type of stores that you could endlessly browse without pressure or hassle and enjoy knowing a knowledgeable shop owner is nearby if needed, then this is the comic book store you're looking for. Sid, the knowledgeable owner and keeper of all awesome figurines in the store, has great recommendations if you're a newbie or professional comic book guy or girl. While the store isn't quite as big as Tatooine and is probably the size of the Millennium Falcon I'm certain you can find smething for you and your accompanying droids or Claptrap can enjoy. Best Comic Book Store Ever. read more

Free comic day, awesome place with loyal followers and collectors edition of all things Marvel, DC

Loved the atmosphere of the place and the man at the counter was extremely polite and helpful. Found what I was looking for.

Great place to pick up variants and the latest or vintage comics. The owner is super helpful. Definitely recommend this shop.

I can't say enough good things about this shop. Sure, it's the only option in the desert but it's a great one. Sid is fantastic and is always helpful. Every time I enter, he's quick to greet me and offer whatever aid he can by asking what I'm looking for and informing me of the best current and upcoming series. He's even helped construct a great pull list for me and helped catch me up on titles and events I've missed. The prices are fair, usually whatever is marked on the comic. And if there isn't something present in the shop that you're looking for, he's always willing to order it for you. He supports local artists and has frequent contests which are always fun to participate in. Honestly, it's great to support the local shop and if you haven't stopped by yet, I implore you to. read more

Excellent comic store! They even had collectors editions that i was seeking for my partner. I love this place and it is worth going to!

I've been going to Desert Oasis Comics for a little over three years, and while I love it, it does have a few problem. Also, being the only Comic Book shop within 100 miles, it's really hard to make a proper comparison. But being someone who's been to Comic Book stores from Los Angeles to New York, I have to say that Desert Oasis Comics has proven itself to be a healthy competitor. From the minute you enter the store, you are greeted by one of the many staff members who never have a frown on their face until they have to close the store. They are always excited to meet new people and to show the world the amazing joy that is comic books. Did you see the new Marvel movie in theaters? You can easily get caught in an hour long conversation just by mentioning it. Sid, the owner, is very knowledgeable, with over 40 years of comic book history, he will set you right up with whatever you need. The collection of comic books is a bit on the uneven side though. When it comes to new comics, the really popular ones usually sell out the day they come in, but they always have a strong selection of new comic books. While they won't have every back issue, I usually found whatever I was looking for and then some. Vintage comic books is where you might not get your fix though as there is an entire row of 90s comic books, and while many people will enjoy some of the comics from that decade, it often leads people empty handed. Then there is the Gold and Silver Age Comic Books, which are in a small location in the back, and are updated constantly because the prices are amazing. You can honestly pick up the first three years of Archie's TMNT for about $200, and it's not like they are in bad condition, they look like they were taken care of my someone who loves and cherishes comic books, which I forgot to mention. The entire store is one whole collection by the owner of Desert Oasis Comics, Sid himself. While collectors and completist may not find the First Appearance of Venom, mostly because it was already bought, those interested in walking in, picking up a comic, and having a good time will find that here. One very harsh negative though is the size of Desert Oasis Comics, sadly. While the location is amazing, it's right behind El Paseo, it leads to a cramped Comic Book store where you can only pray for more space. While there are a lot of comic books, there's more than the space can handle, and while most of the time there are only two or three customers in at a time, the narrow passageways still aren't comfortable. That being said, this is one of my favorite comic book stores that I always come to every Wednesday to pick up my comics. Even then, I would much rather have Desert Oasis Comics be in the small location that it is in right now, than some large warehouse in the middle of nowhere. Everyone from small children to children at heart adults come in and bring a positive vibe that make you never want to leave the store. You stand outside before the store opens just so you can pick up the new comics and read them with friends. Even when it's closing hours, you find a cheap comic that you want to pick up with cash just so you can stay in store for another five minutes. The store is open to everybody, and welcomes everybody. read more

This place has a wonderful collection of comic books, and they make sure to stay well stocked on the back issues also. The owner is incredibly nice and friendly, and very helpful in informing me of all the new comics and off-shoots that came out while I was gone for the past 9 months. I highly recommend that if you need comics, you check this place out, the owner will make sure you get what you want without missing anything, or walking away with anything extra. read more

Great shop! Greeted the moment we walked in and offered assistance. Staff and patrons are friendly. If only all comic shops were this nice! Will be back again. read more

Cool shop to visit. A lot of single issues, but wish they had more trades. On the upside, if they do not have a certain comic you want. They can order it, pay half first and when it arrives you can pay the rest. The management and staff are really cool. If your a newbie to comics, they can assist and give you recommendations on what to read so you can find the comics you will love to read. read more

I went over to check out the place after writing a few comics myself. Never knew the desert had a comic store. They seriously had everything! I've never seen such a collection of comics! I will definitely be coming back again! read more

I came here once during the holidays because I wanted to buy some comics and a gift certificate for my boyfriend. I am not very knowledgeable on the latest comics and Sid was extremely helpful. He made some great recommendations and I was able to get what I needed. My boyfriend loved the comics. Sid is a kind guy and I recommend this place to anyone looking for some comics. read more

This might be a great store, but it wasn't open. I checked the store hours, saw it was supposed to be open & drove 30 minutes to check it out. It was closed. That is pretty frustrating. read more

Great little store, but a hard to find. We drove around a couple times before we fount it. It is a great place though. Very friendly staff and a great selection. Glad we have this in our neighborhood! read more

Great service. I have been coming here for a while and I have enjoyed every time I have come here. The owner Sid is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience in the comic book industry. They have a lot of retro comics and collectibles. This store is the best comic shop I have ever been to. However, the place is very tight because there isn't a huge space to have. All in all, this is the best comic book store in SoCal that I have been to and you should check it out. read more

Great shop, I have been going there for a few months now. Great comics and lots of back issues for those who enjoy picking up older comics and maybe filling some missing issues. Sid is friendly and laid back, fair and willing to help you find what ever you maybe looking for. read more
