Collector's Den is easily the best place in the entire Texoma region to buy comics. The owner has read everything he stocks and is more than happy to give recommendations to anyone, whether you're a seasoned comic book fan or just getting into them. Best of all, if a comic isn't good, he won't lie to you just to make a sale. He and the other people who work here are completely honest about their opinions, and from what I've experienced, they're always right.
All of their comics are boarded and bagged, and so unless something strange happens during shipping, all of their selection is near pristine in quality. They also offer a pull-box program for collectors, meaning that if you want to follow a series but can't make it to the store consistently, they will pull every new issue for you so that you can pick them up at your convenience. The pull-boxes also accrue credit that can be used for future discounts.
If you live anywhere in Texoma and are interested in comics, you should definitely check out Collector's Den. If you live in Wichita Falls, then you have absolutely no excuse not to be going here, especially if selection, condition quality and service are...

I walked in with my son expecting a welcoming experience, but instead encountered silence and indifference. The owner greeted me with a half-hearted “Do you need help finding anything?” but when I mentioned that I found them online and wanted to check the store out, he simply stopped talking.

The store itself is nothing like the photos online. What you’ll actually find are two large shelves crammed with unmarked, boxed comics—dirty, unorganized, and stacked without any sense of order. The few display items are sparse and carelessly piled together. Because of the lack of organization, the only way to find anything is with the help of the owner—but that’s useless if he won’t engage. Otherwise, you’re left to dig aimlessly through clutter.
This was one of the most unwelcoming retail experiences I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was uncomfortable, the presentation misleading, and the lack of basic customer service shocking. If I could rate lower than one...
Read moreIf you're a serious collector of comic books you need to stop here! They have an excellent selection of back issues, as well as a very large selection of current comics. While paying for my purchases I had been informed of a comic I had been searching for, for over two years had been sold a few days prior to my visit so in my shock and disappointment I don't think I properly thanked the gentlemen behind the counter for the awesome deal I got on the books I did find. I travel for a living and don't purchase comics off the internet, I prefer to buy in person, so this is definitely a store I will return to when my travels take me near here again. Great store, great staff! Highly...
