Rock Bottom Comics — Local services in Columbia Township

Total disgrace. Recent pictures drive home the point that this isn't so much a store as it is just a cramped space of waist high long boxes and randomly disorganized issues so unevenly stacked they'll topple over if you breath too hard. Hardcover books and trade paperbacks on shelves are inaccessible behind the clutter, and some display cases are so buried under stacks of backstock you'll wonder why anyone bothered to put anything in there. "Treasure hunting" is a real cute way to describe excavating through reams of junk to discover anything worth paying for. Hardly anything is labeled with a price, old man behind the desk just picks a number when asked.

We are but pitiful peons in your presence, O Great Collector. We are not worthy of your sacred library of illustrated tomes. I suppose for you there is Time...

Person in charge of the store was rude.

Also kept repeating how he’s been grading comics for so long even before I was born. He seemed friendly to other people in the store, but was extremely rude to me and obviously...
