Unicorn Comics & Cards

Unicorn is a great store where it’s easy to spend $$. Owner Terry is knowledgeable about his inventory and keeps just about everything in easy reach. He will even move boxes around to make it easier for you to browse.
The store sells both new and used comics. They also stock some collectibles. A quirky thing, the TV is always on in the store and members of Terry’s family seem to be pretty big fans of classic TV. If you’re into classic comics, the humor kind, this is your place. Unicorn stocks tons of Disney, Looney Tunes, Richie Rich, etc. At most stores, these humor comics take a back seat to the superheroes, but Terry stocks a generous number of them. Pricing is fair and reasonable.
The store is cash only, so stop at the ATM first and then park in front of the restored train station/​museum for your visit to Unicorn. The store is located in the genteel suburb of Villa Park, in an old-​fashioned downtown.

For a comic book geek this was basically heaven. I was originally going there for some new comics but when I saw how it had tons of old comics I knew had to look through them ! Even though it’s messy it made me feel in one those old comic book shops. By the way if you’re looking for the hours it’s like this: On Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays they’re closed. The rest of the days they’re open at 12:00 — 5:00/6:00. PS I got Amazing Spider-​man #365 which wanted for quite a while now ! Hope this helps

The two brothers who own unicorn comics couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. they have an extensive collection and will help you track down any thing you may be looking for. It is an absolute pleasure visiting this store.

So I finally came here today. Its a good place. They have a ton of comics new and old. Its a small place and its old but I think that makes the place a lot cooler and homely I guess. Its kind of like the old style comic book stores. Anyways, besides comics they have baseball trading cards and action figures. For comics they have more of the older ones in the long boxes on tables and newer ones on the shelves. But like I said before they have a lot so you kind of have to go searching. Oh they also close early kind of like bankers hours. Hopefully this all helps.

This place is great! The two brothers and mother that are always in there are extremely nice. They are also very knowledgeable and passionate about comics. The manager took a list of comic books that I am trying to track down and has been helping me find them when he comes across them. They also put together sets of back issues from time to time and sell them for a reasonable price. The only bad thing I have to say is that they only accept cash which can be inconvenient but it is not really that big of a deal. Just plan ahead and get some cash before heading in.
The bottom line: This comic book shop is awesome!

one word– historic! been going to this place since High School :)

Very friendly owners. Helpful and easy to talk to. Owner remembers customers and will keep an eye out for comics he thinks you’ll enjoy. The one down side is they thend to sell out of newer stuff rather quickly, but you can count on them for back issues of pretty much anything.

This gem of a comic store has been here forever; right across from the old Ovaltine Factory. If you’re looking for old school comics, this is the place. Box after box of old comics, double stacked, and there’s even more behind the counter. They can usually be counted on when other stores sell out of new stuff, too.
Same owners after all of these years. They couldn’t be kinder folks, and they’ll help you out. This place is good to stop if you’re on the prairie path.

Went to this place biking with friends from the praire path in summer of 83 – 85. Owner always had the chicago Cubs games watching Harry carry broadcast. Owner always had his elderly mommy with an old black and white TV set. went there a couple of years ago and owner is still there with his elderly mommy still watching the Cubs games on a color TV set. great place if you are a kid and like to collect cards and comics. This guy and his mother have been there a long long time.
