Really friendly environment and the comic books are fairly priced
Awesome local comic shop Thom is a hidden gem
Thom is the best Comic Book dealer in Elgin and surrounding area. In business 35+ years, Thom has a great selection of old & new comics, sf/fantasy/horror pb & hc books, magazines, cards & collectibles. Stop in and you will find many rare & hard to find items you won't find elsewhere at very reasonable prices. Excellent all around
My cousin was in town and we were looking for something to do on a rainy day. He loves comic books so we had to check this place out. I am not into comics so this review comes from a non-consumer perspective. Word is it has been around forever, which I appreciate. It was fun browsing around. I even picked up some vintage horror magazines and an obscure comic as gifts. My cousin also appeared to enjoy himself and said he could have spent hours there.
Great guy, lots of great comics amd hard to find stuff for reasonable prices.
I used to shop there all the time when it was downtown. I haven't been back in Elgin in a long time but I'm looking at coming back to visit when the Chicago Cubs go to the World Series.
I love this place. Thom has had a shop forever. When I was little I used to go to his shop on Douglas Street. He is truly passionate about comics and vintage illustration. I bought a Crumb poster from him 20 plus years ago and I still have it. Thanks Thom for always having a quaint little badass store brother.
I love Tom's - my hubby got me a year of TWD and I've had a great experience with him & the love the shop!
