Holeymoleys Comics & Collectibles — Local services in Northampton

Skip to the bottom for the current info (2023) Excellent shop, a little out of my normal commute but they are well stocked and (most importantly) welcoming!

My online shop I've used for years failed to pull a subscribed issue for me, so we took a Saturday afternoon and drove up the trail with holeymoleys as our primary destination, just to grab that one issue I needed, it did not disappoint.

They did have the issue I needed (doomsday clock #11) as well as a large selection of other current and back issues to peruse. Clerk was very helpful and knowledgeable without even a hint condescension (I've found that's a rare combo at comic shops).

I've only been once so far, but will certainly be back. The collection of classic toys/related paraphernalia is enough of a lure on its own. I am VERY strongly considering switching my entire subscription stack, just need to wait for next month's previews to drop since I've already ordered this month's.

If there is a criticism to levy, I guess their subscription discount and process aren't quite as good as the major online retailers, but supporting a local business offsets that to a large degree.*

*Just as an update, I did take the plunge and move over my monthly pulls and throughout the process they have been unbelievably helpful and made the process of switching as painless as possible. I spoke out of turn criticizing their sub process as I hadn't actually transitioned yet. Now that I have, it's much easier than the online store I used to use. They also just upped subscriber discounts, so again, that negates my only criticism completely.

**Another update (5/22/22) They moved the shop to Northampton just about two years ago now, which put them significantly farther out of my commute lol. However, their quality and customer service has remained high throughout and we continue to be loyal subscribers through them. Highly recommend checking them out!

*Another Update (1/10/23) Shop moved again (still in Northampton this time) but the new space is fantastic! Way more room for them to showcase their great stock of items. It's much more obvious they've got more than just comics (toys, media, etc) alongside an extensive collection of current and back issues from multiple publishers. The extra space is well used/filled.

They have been immensely flexible with my subscriptions and overall customer service remains top-notch. If you are into comics, skip any other stores in the area and prioritize getting to Holeymoleys, you...

Small selection but forgivable. Not a very big store. What was the BIG turn off was even though they are “open until 7pm” we were greeted with a hesitant, inconvenienced boy outside who was already packing up the store before 5pm. Apparently they were closing early because “someone wasn’t coming in”. He reluctantly allowed my wife and I to come in but was immediately notifying us it’s “no rush but kind of a rush”. Then we were consistently asked what stuff we were interested in, and then when we mentioned, we we’re picked apart about our opinions and feelings on characters or the movies. This is NOT how a comic store should be behaving or treating customers. This is a perfect example of why people don’t want to visit comic shops. We will not be coming back here. We did not feel welcomed. I found a few books I wanted for myself but strongly passed after being turned off by the constant talking of the clerk. My wife found a few things and I spent the money for her. If it wasn’t for her finding stuff I would have turned around and walked out....

Holeymoleys Comics & Collectibles was great. Just what I was looking for. Its a small shop but the selection of comics and collectibles, games, etc. was fantastic. The owner, Tony, is an awesome guy and very knowledgeable about his stuff. Very cool dude. I live in southern VT and this is the only comics place around other than Albany, NY. I loved it and I will definitely be back and I also recomend it to anyone in the area who is looking for comics or...
