Ralph’s Comic Corner

The associates are always very kind and knowledgeable and they have the neatest stuff. I found my son’s Christmas presents, Thank You!

Stumbled upon this place while in town for work. Needed to pick up a couple of titles that I had not seen back home and sure enough they had them.
The store is partitioned into two sections. There’s the comics side on the left and then an animé/​card gaming area on the right. They also have old school games, tons of back issues, and a fair selection of figures.
If I’m in the area again seeking a comic I haven’t found back home, I’ll definitely stop in.

Awesome place to ether find a Modern Comic book all the way to Golden Age comic books. If your a collector these guys have great prices on comics and one of the biggest selections to choose from. You seriously need to check it out!!!

Huge comic shop with TONS of back issues. All priced at guide or slightly under. You will find the one issue you’re probably looking for though. They have a few dollar bins with random finds. It was definitely a fun stop while driving up through Ventura county.

Found a Vampirella that I needed in the dollar comic bin and they gave me a good deal on a Groo the wonderer for 50 cents. Thanks guys!

Geez! Ralph’s Comics Corner has been around forever! I remember biking FROM Oxnard as a kid to visit his store on the other side of the street way back when. Hah! Fun times. Now my kids have taken an interest in comics and I’m glad to see Ralph’s is still here! The volume of comics is hugely different from before… much, much more now! Great vast selection. Helpful staff. They consistently make an effort to find what your looking for. Mr. Mike is certainly a wealth of knowledge on comic lore. Thank you for keeping kids (and adults!) fascinated with the comic book realm. Watch out! New generation of comic book fans comin’ through!

Great selection of comics

About a year ago I was looking for a local comic book store. I found this one & started going every week for my comic books. The staff were friendly & helpful! The $ 1 comic books had me going insane. I didn’t live very far at the time but now that I’ve moved, I try & buy my comics if I’m up there. The are a lot of people who play card games there so if you don’t like loud noise while trying to browse for your comic selection, I suggest calling in ahead to see if there will be tournaments that day.

Great experience and friendly staff. Always someone willing to help you. Definitely sets the standard

I’m not going to lie, I was a loyal Michael’s customer. I’m slowly feeling comfortable purchasing from your store, it sure beats a 70 round trip visit to Dreamworld in Simi. You do have by business, I will be purchasing my comics from you.

Where have you been all my life? Ralph’s comic corner is a gem… rare, can never be duplicated. I rediscovered my childhood all over again. Most importantly… greed does not become this place and for that I am hopeful. They supplied me with my DC 52 crack to last me a lifetime. I will be back for my next fix. I don’t want this monkey off my back.

Ralph’s has been my go-​to place for comic books for years. They have a great selection of current titles and a very good selection of back issues. The staff is also extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. In addition, they also have good selection of soft and hard cover editions and a fair collection of novels. I highly recommend them for every sci-​fi/​fantasy/​comic geek.

Great selection of graphic novels and back issues and helpful staff. Best to avoid weekends/​evenings when gamers take over and become loud and obnoxious.

The shop is huge, and they have tons of board/​card/​video games and comics in stock. I go here to game, they have video game, magic, yugioh, and heroclix tounements all the time. They also buy and sell used video games. Its nice to have a big comic shop close by where I can let my inner nerd be free.

I came in shopping for a Christmas present for my nephews. Although I’ve been into Moore, Morrison, Gaiman, Ellis, Ennis, etc graphics novels or a few years, I hadn’t read any children’s comic books in quite some time. The staff was super helpful in helping me hone in on what would be great for them.
TONS of comics. Super kind and approachable staff. Although the building is a bit rundown (as is most of that stretch of Main Street) the selection and the staff make it well worth the trek. Great comic books store. Keep it up, guys.

Before leaving ventura and making way to SB, the ladies wanted to cruise a few more shops on main st.
So what do I do?
A. Follow them around and give my male perspective on how cute they look
B. Go across the street to Good Bar and watch some baseball with a brewski
C. Sleep in the car
D. Go to Unilocal search and find
closest shop in the area
About a mile down main on the left I spotted ralphs and had no prob with parking.
Pulled out my wishlist on my cell and walked in on a mission. Immediately taken back on how big this store is.
Its actually on half all comics and the other side is dedicated to other fanboy stuff like animé, gaming and etc.
Went straight to the backissue bins in the middle and found a GL issue that I thought would always be on my list of obscure titles that I would never find…
Next, went to the older back issue section which they keep behind the counters ala comic relief. but difference was the level of interaction and non-​snobbiness when asking for some of the rarest of rare books.
To my surprise, they actually just pulled the box out that I asked for and let me look through them myself!
I found over 12 books that I have needed and was happy with their pricing based on such great condition.
Returned back to the girls an hour later, with a smaller comics wish list and still had enough time for a salty dog at the bar!

This was my local comic book shop when I was a kid in junior high and high school. Back when I was 12, I would go in here every week to get my new X-​Men, Wolverine, and Valiant comics. One of the guys that worked there back then even let me publish a little one page comic strip in an indy book he was putting out.
Anyway, I eventually got «gas and perfume disease», gave up on comics, and moved away to college in Northern California. I am now a resident of beautiful San Francisco, and have gotten back into comics.
My family still lives in the Ventura area, so I go down to visit a lot. I was impressed that after years of not going to the store, one of the guys who has worked there a while still remembered me. By name.
«Hey Sean, good to see you.»
That one little thing has made me a lifetime customer.
I make a point of going to this store whenever I have a little free time when I go visit my family in Ventura, and pick up a thing or two. I was able to bring my nephew to the store, his first time to a comic shop. Very fun.
The store itself is very well stocked, and has a good appreciation for all comics, not just those from Marvel and DC. The guys in this store pointed me towards some of my favorite comics, which are smaller, indy titles.
They’ve got new comics, back issues, a big selection of trade paperbacks, toys, and other cool stuff. The staff has always been friendly and helpful to me.
Comics were a lot of fun for me as a kid, and Ralph’s was largely responsible for allowing that to happen. Now I am grown up, I still love this store. Good stuff.

Short Version: Cool, cool people.
Long Version: I’ve never been here, but have dealt with them for special orders over the phone. The people here are really nice and helpful. I had to find a special order and found them online and called. The staff here is very knowledgeable and friendly, and more importantly, had almost everything that I was seeking. Amazing. If you have to find old comics, give them a call and I’m sure they can help you.

A nice little neighborhood comic book hut. Man in charge Mike Sterling is a infinite fountain of comic book knowledge. Comic book knowledge… and friendliness! A great variety of books and the best collection of back issues in Southern California. If you’re looking for an issue of Sugar & Spike from the ‘60s they’ll probably have it. If you’re looking for Art Spiegelman’s oeuvre they’ll probably have it. If you’re looking both happy ‘50s Batman and crazy ‘80s Batman they have both. A very fun place.
