Capital City Comics — Attraction in Truro Township

This store is the remnants of 'The British Papermill', which was the best shop in Central Ohio when comics were relevant. The difference was startling. There is a large amount of new and old books crammed into, what equates to the square footage of a Dodge Caravan. There are multiple 'Do Not Touch' signs which tells me, 'We want your money, but don't bring your kids in here because they are not literate and are lacking in expendable cash'. I also had to wait outside on a balmy August day because it was two minutes until opening and the 'hired talent' wanted to blow the rest of his cigarette smoke into my red and sweaty face. After getting past the 'Marlboro Man', I had to constantly move piles of comics because they just came from a comics show and were sorting them on top of the back issues.

I got back into comics just the last couple of years. At first it seemed pretty overwhelming because there are so many books and I didn't know where to start. Luckily I have Capital City Comics to go to. Their staff have always been welcoming and friendly. They are always willing to answer questions and are very helpful. They're willing to go above and beyond and I can tell they appreciate each of their customers. They also have a great selection of all things comic related both popular and indie.

With a generous and varying selection of new issues, plus one of the best assortments of back issues and runs, there is something here for every taste.

Tony and Wes are knowledgeable about every form of entertainment and can steer you towards titles that fits your taste. Add to that - they are just fun to chat with.

Whether you are an avid collector or a novice wanting to break into the comic world, Capital City should be your “go to” shop. A true gem in the Columbus...
