I always have a wonderful time visiting this The Grumpy Old Mans Comics, Art & Collectibles book store with my brother. It is a large store, but still has that family owned feel to it. They did free comic book day correct.
Came in today with my boyfriend on a fun comic hunting date.Alan was a total sweetheart, showed us the layout of the store and directed me over to the Image and independent comics like I asked.My boyfriend found two comics he was really excited about, I also found two cool horror comics!My boyfriends a huuuuge comic fan (especially DC) and I love SLG, dark horse and Image we both walked out with books we love.Great selection, friendly owner, and something for everyone!Will definitely be back. ️
Thousands of comics, ephemera, and one cute shop dog. The owner is so nice and helpful. If you like comics, this place is a MUST.
Really nice owner, knew a lot about so many things inside
Despite the name, Alan is anything but grumpy! In all truth, hes an extremely personable and friendly artist who also happens to be an incredible repository of comics knowledge and history. Also, hes fun to talk to, which I think accounts for all the great people Ive met that frequent his shop. If youre curious about getting into comics but wary of fandom, this is definitely the place to go to feel comfortable and welcome while getting started. Alan is fantastic at recommending titles that speak to your personal interests and is never pushy. Also, if you subscribe to ongoing titles by starting a pull list, Alans discounts are the best you can find in the state. I cant recommend it enough; Grumpy Old Mans Comics is definitely a gem, made all the more special by Alan and the folks that stop in regularly.
Great environment great people
Tucked away and crammed full of cool stuff... just like the comic book stores of my childhood.
Friendly establishment. 110% attention given to customers. Excellent selection of comic books. For it being a small comic book store, it’s way better than other big comic book stores who’d treat customers like they weren’t there. 10/10 would definitely come back.
Extremely friendly, knowledgeable service. Great inventory for a store of this size. Interesting art collection as well. A hidden gem!
Update: Should be called The Bitter Old Mans Comics Leaving an honest, negative review of this place will result in the owner replying and berating you, accusing you of lying. I urge you to go to a different shop with friendlier employees.Original review: Drove here, paid for parking, walked to the shop only to find that they had not opened yet. This was at 11:45am and they say they open at 11:00am.Pro tip: Call before you go since their hours are unreliable.
Fun little comic store run by a very passionate guy.
My fiancé and I love visiting this store. Great selection and knowledge, but also great company. We adore the couple who runs it and their dog, too! My guy goes mostly for the books, and I stop by to just say hello!
Great place, great owner. I visited it by chance when an order got mixed up with another comic shop, and I havent gone anywhere else since. Alan has a great love and knowledge of comics, and has made some terrific recommendations since Ive been getting back into the comics scene. Sometimes theres a sweet old dog friend roaming around the shop too.
This place is awesome!!! Check it out! Huge collection of back issue comics. Consignment store. Excellent customer service! Very nice people!
It is a little hole on the wall with staff that make it worth the stop in. Good selection of books people are looking for plus back issues and a room of long boxes to hunt. Staff really will take the time to help you put and want you to come back
Nice little comic joint, my sin really enjoyed the graphic novels.... Good customer service
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great to see a place ran by comic artists and friends.
Great service and really cool owner. He really knew his comics. Got me all set with a bunch of DC Rebirth books. Great experience.
Great customer service and selection
A great shop. Owner 8s kind and helpful (despite the shops name). Welcoming to all. Nice mix of art and comics.
Amazing comic shop you enjoy going to. Alan is more then just a shop owner, he can easily be a friend with how easy it is to talk to about the stuff you read and anything you might be interested in. Recommend to everyone!
Great spot. If you love comics, graphic novels, cool artwork, and not-really-very-grumpy (or even particularly old) men, this is worth a visit. Say hello to four-legged Jessica while youre there.
Alan, the owner, is the sweetest guy! He gave me great recommendations and creates a fun welcoming shop for all! I come up from south Seattle just for Alan!
Definitely a great neighborhood comic shop! The owner is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, with recommendations and commentary at the ready. Ill be coming back the next time I need to expand my comic collection.
Misleading name, the owner is very friendly and helpful with my kids
Knowledgeable about comics old and new. Great selection new and used. The owner could not be nicer...
Just discovered this place, and its the best comic shop in Seattle! Alan is amazing!
Lots of great old comics, cool art, and all the new comics as well.But the old man isnt grumpy at all, I thought I was in the wrong store.
Comics plus art. Well curated.
Friendly and great selection
Not very grumpy.... hahahaha!
I went here thinking this would be a great store and to my astonishment, the owner was a jerk. Asked a couple of questions and he seemed like I was bothering him. Next time I vacation in Seattle, your store will not receive my business.
Friendly owner. Great selection of comics
Great shop, great guy.The negative reviews are obviously fake (out of state, no other reviews, no profile picture).
Was visiting from out of state and decided to stop in. The owner was very rude, sort of a bully, and used homosexual slurs and bigotry discussion with other customers when he did not think I or anyone else could hear him. Very unprofessional and I will NEVER go back if I am in town.
Nice guy, nice store (under construction)!
Great selection, really cool guy.
Good Grumpy
Alan is awesome!
