Drawn To Comics

The staff here is extremely helpful and most importantly knowledgeable. The prices are good and if they don’t carry something — they can usually order it. My girls have recently shown an interest in comic books and the staff here has always been great with them. We have placed special orders and have received them in a timely manner. Their selection of art work by artist is great. I love coming here and bringing my kids.

One of my top priorities in my move to Phoenix was to search around to where I’d like to continue soliciting my weekly comic pull list. My first stop was Drawn To Comics, and it was also my last. I had a hard time imagining that I would find any place that could top my previous comic store, but there is such a well-​roundedness to this place that makes it one of my favorite places to frequent weekly.
The benefits of having a pull box with Drawn To Comics, was one thing that sold me. I’d list them out, but you should find out for yourself. There are even weekly rewards and raffles just for coming in to pick up your books!
The staff though is what makes the place memorable. Despite the rise in popularity, comic books are still a pretty niche passion, and having someone to talk to about them is sometimes hard outside of an environment bred for that type of discussion. Not only are the staff well equipped to have intelligent conversations regarding current stories, but they really seem to learn about you as a repeat customer and are great at making suggestions for books you may not be aware of. They also ask for suggestions from you, the customer, in case they have missed a great experience still on the shelf.
It’s by no means perfect, but if you are a comic geek looking for a haven, this is about as good as it gets.

No matter your religion Marvel, DC, Indy or god forbid 20^th Century Fox you will be welcome at Drawn to Comics. The staff manages to be knowledgeable without being condescending. That is important to me because about once a year I break down and relapse into my old comic book addiction. I don’t want some young geek (I am an old geek) mocking me because I didn’t know the FF/​FF disbanded or The Falcon was now Captain America.
At first glance you may discount their selection, but they do have lots of stuff in the back, if you don’t see it ask!

The people here are so helpful my son loves this place. They always give him some free comics and he can always walk out with comics he buys as well. The comic book store by our house closed so it’s nice to find another one near us and have amazing deals. A must go place when in downtown Glendale

This place has such a welcoming and relaxed energy. I love it. The staff was awesome and extremely friendly. Susan and Robert were great! I opened up a Subscription Box on my first visit :).
Selection seems okay (I didn’t get a chance to see it all), and it seems that you would love this shop if you’re a Marvel or DC fan.
Grooviness!

The owners are so cool. They always have good recommendations and are very knowledgable when it comes to the more obscure independent graphic novels. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good reads, old and new. Very kid friendly as well.

I stumbled upon this place several months ago, and now it’s the only comic shop I go to. Friendly staff that really take time to help you. I am new to the comic world, as my young son is developing an interest. They have never made me feel dumb, or act like I’m not a serious customer. Instead they will answer every question and really explain things, even stopping to look up information on new comics coming out my son might be interested in, but are also appropriate for his age.
They are very kid friendly and I love that they have a special kids area. My son knows right where to go when we go into the shop. Then owners are almost always around, and I was remembered and welcomed back after only one previous visit.
As other have stated, love their discounts and specials! We got a box and initially were only getting one comic a month. That didn’t matter, I was still eligible for a box. They have student discounts, military, etc… all listed clearly on the front window. They have stamp cards and special event days. We love going on special event days. Not only do they have something fun going on, they also have special discounts for that day too.
Lastly, my son has special needs and the workers and owners always are very good with him. You just feel welcomed here, and are treated as a valued customer whether you buy or not. With staff recommendactions I have been getting into comic books myself, and even my daughter has been getting into age appropriate comics that she loves. They have a really great selection of comics and toys/​novelties. Every comic is bagged and boarded for no extra charge.
I honestly don’t have one negative comment about this store, it exceeds all of my expectations and I will forever be a loyal customer.

Holy smokes. I went to this comic shop today and was blown away by both the helpful staff and the selection, which is arranged in a sensible way so it’s easy to find what you’d like.

Absolutely my favorite place in Phoenix, and I have been all over the valley. Always excellent customer service. Very knowledgeable staff. All around best place if your an avid comic reader/​collector. Please don’t miss this place.

Best comic book shop in Arizona! Wall to wall comics and figures. Clean great shop that welcomes you right away. It’s the best place to hang out because everyone is willing to talk comics and film. If you’re in town, make the trip over here, you won’t regret it.

Ken and Susan (the owners) are awesome. They take the time to learn the name and box numbers of everyone, which is crazy! I’ve been a customer for years and there is nowhere I’d rather go on Wednesdays (the best day of the week). The staff is knowledgable and ridiculously friendly. They offer free bag and boards on all comics (important to collectors), 20% off new titles that week, 10% off less new titles, 30% off back stock, and military/​student discounts! I admit the other stuff they offer is a bit cumbersome at checkout (though probably appreciated by some, like 1 cent variants if you get a certain number of new comics). I highly recommend this personable, family owned business!

If you like comics, this is the place for you. Tons of magazines to choose from and so much more. I stopped in here with comic-​enthusiasts. I am a novice, but it was fun learning about the history of some of my favorite comic strip characters.
The store is fairly large and there are a ton of things to select from. I think you will find it to be a very interesting place.

My Best choice to purchase comics in Arizona no doubt about! Awesome family atmosphere. Ken Brown and his staff are knowledgeable and often going out of there way to assist me. I appreciate that they offer discounts to students and military individuals, along with bagging and boarding every comic purchased from the new releases or back issue bins. They have a great selection of posters and collectibles as well for sale. I like the fact that they often get involved with the community to have activities like «Free Comic Book Day» or collecting food for food banks or packages to send to military overseas. This place is a finalist for Eisner (Think The Grammys for Comics) Shop of The Year Award just about every year. This constantly place exceeds my expectations.

Great selections of the latest and greatest mags. The full-​size Surfer in the front window is cool to look at too. They keep arranging and re-​arranging, meaning there is always something new to find.

Literally the best comic book shop in all of Arizona. Great selection of anything you’re looking for and the owners are the most genuine/​nice people in the business.
It’s great walking in and having everyone know your name and treat you like family.
There’s always a sale of some sort too. If you’re into pop culture, comics, or toys this place is a must stop for anyone.

Great spot right onthe conner in downtown Glendale. Must visit its awesome! Everyone is nice and the service is great.

Start by staying I’m not a big comic book/​superhero kind of person. I don’t really follow any of that, but my 13 year old brother does. We were at Glendale Glitters and decided to walk in and take a look. Everyone was very friendly even though it was very busy.
We walked around trying to look through everything and not knowing how everything worked (series). I asked someone of they could help us. I wish I could remember the name of the guy that helped us because he was very informative and he genuinely wanted to help. He asked my brother what who he liked and talked him about every series that has ever been out and how to find them for next time.
I made a deal with my brother if he kept his grades up we would go into the comic bool store so he could pick out whatever he wanted. So far he’s kept up with his side of the deal already earning high school credits in middle school! I am glad we walked into that store that day.
Their isn’t anything better than encouraging young children to read, and this might be the best way to do it while supporting local businesses. Thank you!

One of the best comic shops in Arizona. The staff is always friendly and willing to help you find anything and everything. If they don’t have it they’ll try to order it.
Ken is a wealth of knowledge.
Susan is super helpful and loves «Lock and Key».
Daniel is all about the customer service. He loves trying to find the best books for all that come through the doors.
Jason loves Superman! And is a huge fan of the show Community.
Chris is hilarious and loves to help everyone.
Gabe is all about Batman!
If you’re in the area and looking for a great place to hangout and talk about almost anything, this is a great place.
They always have great events planned. Everything from book clubs to card games. They have signings and art classes whenever they can. Ken does a great job of gathering local talent for all of they’re special events.

Great store. Wonderful atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Everyone is so friendly. They talk to you like you’re a part of the family. I get really shy sometimes when people try to talk to me, but they don’t make me feel too uncomfortable. There is even a place for our two small children to play and choose their own comic books.
We’ve been looking around for a good comic book store since we moved here in 6 months ago. I think my husband and I have definitely found it!

Been snooping around in more than a few comic book shops lately and have returned to Drawn to Comics for the third time.
Selection:
–mediocre selection of graphic novels, most are DC comic hero types. For the Vertigo and Image comic fan, you’ll leave disappointed.
–lots of comics available to peruse some in boxes, some on shelves. I’ve found that reboots are far more common to find than original series, also disappointing.
Organization:
–comics are loosely filed alphabetically inside cardboard boxes
–well-​protected in plastic bag
–one or two employees organizing stock, willing to answer trivial questions
-«kids» comics near the front, along with a play area
Events:
–apparently there are HeroClix groups that meet here on Saturday (per website), no other RPG or LCG gaming groups are available to join
Perks:
–some benefit for paying with cash (I forget if it was a discount or if you were entered into a drawing for something)
–10% discount (per their website) for military and students with ID
–can order out of stock items to be picked up at a later date
Dings:
–cheaper to buy on Amazon
–only had reboot issues of The Crow
–below average selection for graphic novels, heavily weighted towards DC hero series
**NOTE: the reason I purchase graphic novels vs. individual comic books is due to the distance I live from all comic stores, not out of personal preference but because it makes financial sense.**
