If you ever get a good deal on a comic, the owner will never forgive you for it and will be rude to…read moreyou every time you visit the store afterwards. The store is poorly organized and the comics are not even priced! Few of them are even bagged or boarded! Basically, it's a pain to figure out what he has in stock, and then you have to wait for him to look every comic up on eBay so he can charge you as much as possible for them. The owner has been sitting on all this stuff for decades and has so few customers that he should be happy when anyone comes in wanting to buy back issues. Instead he basically relies on customers to let him know if any of his comics have any value, and then he takes to his smartphone to figure out how much he can charge you. I visited the store a few times and made $100+ purchases on a couple armloads of comics. The third time I entered, he informed me that I had "cheated" him out of money because ONE of the comics I bought from him previously was worth more than he (and *I*) thought it was at the time. He informed me that it was a "$40 comic", even though it really only sells for $15, and I paid him $5 for it. (Note: He looks at the maximum amounts of what people on eBay are ASKING for certain issues. He doesn't look at the much lower prices that the actual issues end up selling for!) So, I'm supposed to be SO SORRY that I got a bit of a deal on ONE COMIC, even though I gave him over $200 on other comics? The heck with that! I've been in the store twice since, and both times the owner was totally rude to me, like it's still eating him up inside that I gave him $220 when it really "should" have been $235 or whatever. People warned me about the shop before I went there, and actually even another comic shop owner from 100 miles away actually told me that this place is notorious. "You ever been to Pegasus Hobbies up there in Watertown? Yeah, that guy can't stand it when you get a deal from him!" In the four times total that I've been in his shop, NO other customers ever entered. He has few customers, and I can see why. I will never shop there again.

Hi there. Mr. Kinney was a terrific help to me in this shop and knew just where to locate the…read moreissues I needed for the exhibit the Art Association of Oswego is hosting this weekend. I've added the press release below and hope the comics community turns out and enjoys the show. What a great resource and fun place to shop! Thx again! Suzanne Gaffney Beason Former Marvel Comics Editor and Director of Editorial Scheduling for DC Comics For immediate release... On Saturday, August 12th from 7 to 9 pm a reception will be held for the opening of a new art exhibition at the Art Association of Oswego. The exhibition, by Suzanne Gaffney Beason, is titled My Life in Comics / My Life in Art. Part of the show is a display of Ms. Beason's personal collection of original drawings by well-known comic artists from her days at Marvel Comics, where she was assistant editor to high-profile comics such as Spider-Man and X-Men. Also on exhibit will be original prints and drawings from her current work as a graduate student in SUNY Oswego's Master of Arts program in Studio Arts. This includes both figurative work and highly abstract explorations of color, shape and texture. According to the Art Association's exhibition coordinator Bill DeMott, "As an undergraduate at SUNY Oswego in the 80's, Suzanne got a fantastic education, one that took her to New York City to work for the likes of Robert Blackburns' Printmaking Workshop NYC, Marvel Comics, Reader's Digest, Pearson Education and eventually DC Comics. But when DC moved to California, she made the brave decision to return to Oswego to pursue her first love, fine arts. Her current work is stunning and in her new art one can see all the knowledge gained from years of working with figures and bold abstractions. We welcome Suzanne and her husband Kirk to this community. Their energy and enthusiasm for art--and for music--are truly refreshing." The reception for this exhibition is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. The exhibition will run until Sunday, August 27th. Regular gallery hours are from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturdays and from 1 pm to 4 pm on Sundays or by appointment. Group tours can be arranged. The Art Association of Oswego is located at the northernmost end of East 4th Street in Oswego, directly across from historic Fort Ontario. The Art Association' galleries are housed in the Oswego Civic Arts Center along with the Frances Marion Brown Theater. The phone number for the AAO is 315 216-6782. Their website is www.oswegoart.org.

I have placed orders from this store twice now and both times I have had issues with shipping…read more The first time the package was extremely delayed. I waited nearly a month to receive an order for one card. I called a few times and each time I was told: "Oh! We must have missed the card. We will send it out this week"- and then it wasn't on multiple occasions. I also never received the email that it had been sent. It just showed up one day after I had assumed it wasn't coming at all. I took another gamble on the store after they were one of the few in the province to have a specific card I needed. The order came to around $30.00 CAD. I paid for it immediately. I got the confirmation email the same time. In that email it said that I would receive an email when it was shipped. A week rolls around and I still have yet to receive an email, so I give them a call on the Monday. They tell me they're a little behind, but it will be mailed out by Wednesday for sure! By Thursday, still no email. It is now Saturday and I have called again. The postal strike went out on Friday and I was worried about my order being delayed even further despite having placed the original order nearly 2 weeks ago. They didn't ship it. So now, I have no idea when the order will come. It's dependent on the strike (understandable) but my problem lies with the fact I ordered the cards 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks before the strike put them in this situation. They offered me a refund, but the one card in the order is more on the difficult end to find- so I kind of have no choice but to wait. They also told me that I could pay for tracked shipping (about $12) which is nearly half of what the order costs. I'm just very frustrated with the entire situation. It shouldn't have taken so long to mail the order out in the first place. A week I understand- but 2? On the phone I'm constantly passed around saying they have to wait for this person or that- and when I'm given a final answer/date, it's never met. I'm going to wait on my order- hopefully the strike is resolved quickly.. but I won't be ordering from the store again. Yes, their collection is wonderful- I'll definitely give them that! They have a wide range of options so if you're in a tight pinch like I was, I get it- really, just be ready to wait awhile to get the order.
