My first time at this shop was when I won an auction on Ebay and the guy was local and said I could pick up the set at the shop to save on shipping. It was Jack Kirby's 2001: A Space Odysseys run. This was back in the mid 90's and I am still shopping there to this day.
I have traveled all over the country and have made it a habit to pop in to whatever local comic shop I can find and I never felt the warmth, variety or knowledge that I have encountered at Paradox Comics in North Arlington.
The owner, John, is great. His wife Carol is also great and welcoming.
I lived in Denver, CO for 2 years and had him mail me my comics and it was always a great surprise cuz he would add a little something extra that he knew I would like.
I am back in NJ but still live pretty far away but make it a point to visit at least every two weeks to pick up my stash and to show off my newborn son to the world of comics.
I refer to them as Uncle John and Aunt Carol and hope my son can grow up in this geekery.
Thanks for all the great service for over...

Whether I'm coming in to buy something or just to pick up the monthly free "Previews" magazine, I'm consistently treated with respect, and never feel rushed or pressured to buy something. Dealing with Carol, Mike, or any of the other employees, they always come through with the suggestions I need to find what I need. If you're Looking for a collector's item, a gift, or to rummage through boxes marked .50, $1, or $5 Paradox Comics has something for the whole family. There's a reason they have been around for ALMOST 30 YEARS! I wouldn't think to buy online when I can come in, enjoy the shopping experience, discussions and support this fantastic...
