Dr. Cain's Comics — Local services in San Luis Obispo

Insanely awesome smaller comic book store in the heart of San Luis Obispo makes this gem worth the stop for sure. As a small business owner myself I know how Tough it is for small business owners when they have to deal with 1 star reviews from knuckleheads who don’t even visit their store but thinks they are worthy of such a poor review based off of a phone call wow, Anyway I went in not looking for anything particular and found numerous quality comics and collectibles. If your looking for comics this is the place with tons of other things to do very close by. Plenty of variety and iam sure if you ask they will try their hardest to order for you if the item is available. I was pleased and very impressed that the owner took the time to talk with my child about their interests and showed integrity with their conversation . We ended up grabbing a couple items such as a pop vinyl and a graphic novel and was treated to a free comic book from fcbd as well as a free sticker! which when you are 6 like my little one that’s just the icing on the cake. Anyway if your a comic book fan or looking for something just a bit nerdier than the other posh stores definately check out DR. Cain’s! Iam not a local but would definately get my subscriptions here if I were. Was very laid back and treated very nicely and professionally as was my kid which again this day and age is most appreciated! Thanks...

Dr. Cain's comics is deeper, both figuratively and literally, than first glance would suggest. The stock is so well maintained that you really can't go wrong if you want to find some beautiful reads, even local artists' comics! The youth section was surprisingly filled with options that could challenge and open new worlds for a young reader.

The staff that helped struck the perfect balance of making the space welcoming, while allowing me to shop without pressure. Enticed by this treatment I asked for help and received some fantastic recommendations and even a suggested reading order. I spent more than expected here, the enthusiasm for well crafted comics vibrates through the air of this store.

I wish I had such a store local to me. I've stopped at comic shops all over America and this is a solid, no-nonsense, comic store that easily bypasses the common mistakes of many stores. Take a step inside and find yourself walking into whatever new world strikes...

truly one of the best businesses ive ever come across. dudes super excited to talk about the books and give recs. also, REALLY honest about if a book is overpriced, overrated, or has a better edition/omnibus/printing whatever even if he loses out on a purchase. please go here and buy somethin we need more...
