As I was driving around the College Hill Historic District neighborhood of Greensboro, North…read moreCarolina, while waiting to attend the Triad Squad Yelp Elite Omakase Shushi Dinner at Sushi Republic, I happened to discover this long-standing, "Old School" comic book shop, just a short walk from the UNCG campus. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. Parts Unknown The Comic Book Store in Greensboro, North Carolina is a perfect example. I immediately found a side street parking space and parked my pearl white Lexus there and walked over to the store. It was a pleasant walk and the building where the store was located had an interesting graffiti on the outside, side wall. Inside I was greeted by a friendly and very knowledgeable employee who has also been a good friend of the owner for years. He told me how the owner John Hitchcock had owned and operated this business for over 36 years with around 25 years in this location and how the business originally opened up in Cotton Mill Square in 1989. How Hitchcock had always had a passion for comic books and started collecting them when he was 10. He started selling comic books in a store downtown 37 years ago and this led to his opening his own store. Hitchcock's favorite comic book creator was Alex Toth, an artist who had been well known for his expressive line and masterful storytelling. Hitchcock and him had been friends and collaborated on a book called Dear John: The Alex Toth Doodle Book. He showed me a copy of the book that was being sold there. The store had an inviting atmosphere and as I walked through the store it was like entering another world. The uniqueness of this comic book shop was that it exclusively specializes in comic books and books about comic books. It had in its inventory some rare and expensive ones like The Invincible Iron Man selling for $2,000, a Green Lantern one selling for $1,500, and a Special 25th Anniversary Issue of the Amazing Spiderman selling for $1,200, among other well known and rare ones in excellent condition. College students enjoy visiting the store because it's like a live history museum of comic books and also carries many of the current looked-after ones. And the store brings back happy memories to old timers and makes valuable merchandise accessible to comic book collectors of all ages. I highly recommend it if ever your in the area. To me it was an extraordinary and exhilarating experience.

Based on my first experience at Stormcrow Comics today, I would not want to use them as my LCS when my wife and I move down later in the year. While the prices were very good, the service was not much to rave about. I was standing at the counter a good 10 minutes or better, waiting to have my comics rung up. Then, when the guy came up, he seemed kinda lifeless and bland. In addition to that, there were dead bugs along storefront window sill, as well as dust about the store.

First timer here! I live about 3 hours away from Winston Salem, but when I found myself going down,…read moreI decided to stop in at ReCollect to grab a few figures. When I arrived around 12:50 I noticed there was a large line of about ten or fifteen people, some parents and kids, others alone. Despite multiple conflicting online sources, this store opens at 1PM-at least on Saturdays-and I was a bit taken back when I saw an older lady walk up the stairs and open shop. Although her arrival at some minutes after 1 was a bit odd, it didn't bother me too badly. After all, the locals seemed to act as if lining up at the store early was common. Once I got in, the shelves were lined with figures from Neca TMNT and monsters, McFarlane DC and Spawn, as well as Hasbro Black series and Legends. Their funko pop selection may be their biggest! Anywho, my first gripe would be the setup of the shop: There are tables which house bins of loose figures directly in front of pegged shelves, and I can see it being hard for adults on the shorter side- 5,9 below like myself-and especially kids to get sift through the pegged figures. As for their comic selection, it seems huge. I was on a bit of a tight schedule so I didn't have too much time to look, but did notice some deep cut issues for people like myself such as complete runs of Batman Long Halloween and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. The woman who opened was constantly checking in on the huge influx of folks here, asking if we needed help finding things or getting them down. She also handled checking out the customers really well, ensuring they received either digital or physical receipts for their purchases. My guess is that this would be the owner Curtis' mother, and it doesn't seem like she does this often, but certainly seems that she cares about the business. I ended up leaving with 3 lose McFarlane figures: Three Jokers Batgirl, A death in the family Joker, and Gold Label Rebirth Martian Manhunter. They're in pretty good condition, no paints chips or anything of the sort, just some broken in joints. I paid $53.50 for them including tax, and after some reflection feel it was a BIT overpriced. Average retail for a DC Multiverse figure is $20, and they were priced at $15 for Manhunter and Batgirl, and $20 for Joker. They came complete with all accessories, but not their figure stands or bio cards. Knowing I could've paid $60 retail for the three complete and in mint condition does hurt a bit. Overall I would say ReCollect is a pretty good shop. I see Curtis on socials unboxing toys in the shop a bunch, which I why I assume he sells them lose as for other to "Re collect" his opened toys. Maybe if the in box variety was a bit wider, the pegs were more accessible and prices of opened figures were lowered, or given their complete boxed contents, it would be a 5/5. Hopefully in my next bout, I'll be able to meet Curtis and have some more time to dig through the meet of his inventory.

When asking for prices, on Magic the Gathering singles, I used the same app to check prices that he did, but he quoted prices that were arbitrarily high so that the the 40% off worked out to slightly above average prices. I requested the price of a sealed booster box. These are roughly 100 dollars at every store and online. Again, he told me it was 100 dollars after the discount was applied. Either he was being deceitful, or they charge 170 dollars a box. Both of which are not okay. It does not matter, I will not return.
