I've driven to every comic and hobby shop within a 100 mile radius from Lodi and this small shop has everything I need and more for my hobby(28mm historical miniature games).

Also there is a big selection of more traditional games, meaning things like Catan and Carcasonne not monopoly or mouse trap

After reading some of the comments, I felt disappointed enough to end my multi-year hiatus from this app just to show this place some love. If you're into comics, this is my go-to shop. Alan is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about comics. He even went out of his way to help me get my pull list set up through the Comic Geeks app, and my books were ready and waiting when I came in. Their selection is excellent, especially if you're looking for older issues in great condition. They also carry trading cards, toys, collectibles, and plenty of other cool items. If you're looking for a friendly local comic shop with great customer service, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

This place doesn't deserve a single star. We went in yesterday expecting a normal shopping…read moreexperience, but instead were met with one of the most disrespectful and unprofessional interactions I've had at any business. The person who seemed to be the owner was rude, arrogant, and clearly has no idea how to treat customers. Instead of being welcoming, he made the entire environment uncomfortable. There was even a family with kids in the store trying to enjoy themselves, and his behavior completely killed the vibe. It's honestly embarrassing to see someone run a business this way. After looking at other reviews, it's obvious this isn't a one-time thing--this seems to be a pattern. If this is how you treat people, don't be surprised when customers stop coming back. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place entirely. There are plenty of better shops out there that actually respect their customers.

This is my first time back since Tom retired and the new owners took over. The storefront is great and the place is warm and welcoming.

Happy to be shopping here, and happy that Tom's Used Books and the cats are in such good hands.

I would say this store had a smell similar to urine, which doesnt affect anything but if you are sensitive to smells just keep that in mind.

I was impressed with the wide array of cards that were displayed in their respective glass display as well as the other card boxes and card packs throughout the store. The value provided was good quality. I ended up donating my cards so others would enjoy and would love put some love and care towards others. I would like to highly recommend this store location for anyone interested in trading cards, playing card tournaments, or starting your kids or family in the present and future of trading cards, whether that's Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, Yu Gi Oh, comic books, or any other sports cards! Five out of five stars. A+++++

They also have a large display case towards the front of the store by the cash register. They also have an absolute mountain of boxes towards the back. Some may be full but the majority are empty, and the area looks extremely messy. I know they need boxes for shipping, returns, and consistently getting new inventory...but dang! There has to be a better system, as some of those boxes look like they've been there since the store first opened. It just brings down the feeling when you walk into a store that is not well maintained. Just my opinion. Good luck!

Comics, Collectibles, Pugs, and the Coolest Bathroom…read more What a great little comic book shop. The owner was incredibly friendly, the store was spotless, and there was so much to look at. They have a huge selection of comic books, collectibles, artwork, and fun memorabilia throughout the shop. One of my favorite parts was meeting the two adorable, well-behaved pugs who were happily hanging around the store. They definitely add to the welcoming atmosphere. The walls are covered with interesting art and displays, making the entire shop feel unique and full of personality. Everywhere you look there's something fun, quirky, or nostalgic to check out. And I have to give a special shoutout to the bathroom. I don't think I've ever mentioned a comic shop bathroom in a review before, but this one was awesome. The walls were hand-painted with beautiful koi fish artwork and even included information about the artist. It felt more like a little art exhibit than a restroom. As the wife who isn't really into comic books, I also appreciated that there was a comfortable, clean waiting area where I could relax while my husband browsed. That's a small detail, but it made the experience much more enjoyable for me. Between the friendly owner, the adorable pugs, the creative artwork, the welcoming atmosphere, and the massive selection of comics and collectibles, this place is a gem. Whether you're a serious collector, a casual fan, or just tagging along with one, it's absolutely worth stopping by.

Met Kevin, the Owner, who's been in business since the heyday of collecting in the 80's. He was extremely helpful, friendly, and didn't mind taking time to answer questions, which I had plenty of since the collecting industry had changed so much since I stopped. Over the next 3 years I bought numerous hobby products from Kevin. When COVID hit in 2020, the industry went crazy and caused prices to skyrocket. Kevin remained true and offered prices well below what he could of asked for at the time. I asked him about it and he told me he'd seen numerous highs and lows in the industry, and he wanted to take care of his loyal customers who would always come back. I have a great deal of respect for Kevin, and while I have stopped collecting new cards (I just purchase vintage), I still stop by from time-to-time to say hello. He no longer sells sports cards because the distributors got too greedy, and he didn't want to pass those excessive costs to his customers. He still sells comics though, and he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with anyone who stops by. It's a small shop and if he doesn't have something you're looking for, he has years of connections and will either find a way to get it or point you in the right direction. If you're in the area, stop on by and take a look. You'll feel welcomed and want to come back. Not enough places like this anymore.
