Comics & Collectibles — Local services in Memphis

To start, when I walked in I was greeted by the workers that i saw that were currently in there laughing and joking about the appearance and possibly disability of some of the customers that previously had come in. It wasn't a one off back handed comment, I was in there for ab 15 min and id say for 10 of it they were commenting about predominantly the appearance of the women they see come into the store. And then I saw the owner ( who I assume is because he's been in there every time I've gone in for the past few years I've been going) acting out a limp with a "hunchback of Notre Dame" style and made a crazy face to mock the customers and really drive home the fact that he thinks most of the customers he has come in are ugly and/or unpleasant to serve. I also got overcharged by two separate people for the discounted books that they offer. It was only about five or six bucks in total for the two times I got overcharged but the notion that you have to hold them accountable to the prices they are displaying...

May be the best comic shop in Memphis. I mean, this is your classic comic shop. A comic shop frozen in time before comics were "cool". This shop doesn't pander, or try to be the "new hip place, dude!". No, this is a shop that has been untouched by time and trends. It's a nice place to peruse and pass time; a nice calm atmosphere where no one talks unless they want to. A real man cave in the classic sense, but also a place you feel comfortable bringing your daughter to. What I appreciate most about Comics & Collectibles is that they know what they are. A comic shop. Not a toy shop. Not a model shop. Not a game shop. Comics take the main stage and everything else is a supporting act. The shop itself is easy to walk through. There isn't a barrage of needless inventory hanging from spinner racks, or crowding the shelves. The aisles are wide and roomy. That's not to say that C&C doesn't have toys, games or models. They do! But, like my grandad used to say "everything...

I have done business with C&C since they opened over 20 years ago. The staff is always helpful and the selection is always excellent. To give you an idea of how good a store this is, let me tell you something that has happened every Christmas for several years now. Each year, I go to the store to make a list of books that I'd like and I give this list to my Mom, who, although getting on in years, still insists on going out and buying Christmas presents. Every year that she comes into the store, she is treated, to use her own words: " Like a Queen!" They are so used to seeing her by now that one of the staff will simply take the list and collect the books for her while she relaxes by the counter. If they're out of something, they always offer to order it for her if she chooses. You've got to love a store that treats your...
