    Was headed to east bay depot cafe & stumbled across this comic book shop. Realized it's the same folks who used to be on Mowry. Parking was easy and the space is clean and roomy. Kind of an industrial feel and a huge selection of comic books & graphic novels. There's not like a gaming space or a ton of collectibles if you're into that, but overall glad they're still here in Fremont & a great place for comic enthusiasts.

    My wife and I had a great experience here. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. I see us being repeat customers. The shop was a little difficult to find as it isn't really visible from the street, but it is worth the little fight with Google Maps, haha. Treasure Island Comics is located at the end of a red brick multi-unit structure, situated somewhat parallel to the Amtrak train stop. The outside may be easy to miss because it looks like the garage of an auto-shop at first. I'm glad that we circled the streets a few times to find it because the shop owner Alex was fantastic. I had messaged him directly about a 6 issue comic book series releasing issues from now, April 2021, through July 2021. I came in to discuss the potential for preordering. It is important to me to buy local as much as possible, especially during the pandemic and I wanted him to know he could count on my purchase. Alex was really accommodating about my fluctuating schedule in relation to his order pick-up policy. He made my wife and I feel welcome, which we don't always get to experience as gay people. We shared some pleasant small talk about life, art, and the importance of representation. It was just an overall positive first visit, so much so that I made it a point to buy some things then and there just to support his business immediately while waiting for my preorders to come in. If you're new to comics like I am (my collecting background is in manga, figures, and pins), Alex and his store are a great local resource to support. Side note for those who may be concerned with pandemic-time shopping procedures: Alex was masked and I believe customers are expected to come in masked as well. There was some hand sanitizer available by the register. The place was well lit, super organized, and clean. Due to the physical garage structure of the shop, it's also well ventilated. I definitely felt safe browsing here. :) Hooray for California's vaccine rollout.

    Everything is fairly priced and the guys that work there are friendly and help full! The lay out of the store is easy to navigate and figure out where stuff is. I asked an employee what would he recommend for someone who likes Batman, Horror, magic etc. He started asking all these questions like what movies I liked and what I've read before and recommend several books and I ended up picking up the trade paperback Constantine the Hellblazer vol1 and I was immediately hooked I went back to buy vol2 shorty after. The book had everything I was interested in. I can't recommend this place enough I will definitely be going back for all my comic needs!

Besides the free comic book, the owner has booked a Smash Bros truck, a smashed burgers truck. We tried it, and the burgers were good!! A bit pricey ( 1$ extra for one slice of tomato and 1$ extra for some shredded lettuce ) but they were good! And somebody was selling coffee too. We sat in the car to enjoy our lunch, then went back to the store for more bargains. The bookstore has some outside vendors too. I bought a drawn book for my granddaughter, and they were some lovely bookmarks too. I bought some 3D printed Pokemon toys last year, but I was disappointed that vendor didn't come back.

I have not seen many back issues with the exception of wall comics. They have a pretty large area of clearance $1 comics on the left side of the store which seem to be 2-3 years old books. I like that these $1 boxes are on tables and my back appreciates that they are easy to sort through. They also have an inventory of collected editions which includes trade paperbacks, hardcovers, omnibus, and compendiums. The owner Kerry has tried to help me find some obscure current comic books a couple times which I appreciate. The staff have all been helpful and easy to work with. I believe they do a significant amount of business in trading card/game card these days, but still have a respectable comic offering.
