Another Visit to the Best Comic Book Shop EVER!!! NEW Hunting Footage!!!
Two Visits to STL Comics in St. Charles MO in the first 4 days of 2023 . This is one of my absolute favorite shops I have ever been to. Eric and crew know how to run a business. They price their books very fairly and ALWAYS have new inventory. This is one of the places where I got most of the key comics for the Foundational Comic Book Collection series.
Please follow STL Comics on Facebook and Instagram where they always post their incredible inventory before it goes out!

Man am I glad we didn't miss counting any pages on that TOS! LOL ALEX, seriously thank you for all your support, kind words, time and effort you put into this video! So very much appreciated! Couple of things.... The batman 50 variant you were unsure of the artist on was ebas. The signed superman batman was Ryan Kincaid. And! I found another Wanda from that legends series in the back room for you. We're going to keep "running circles" around our shop to continue getting more new crazy fun items out daily. ;)

Anytime my friend. Haha. I didn’t count the pages before I filmed, but the book felt right. I would love that Wanda and if you have a winter Soldier from that same set let me know. You guys are the best and I support you, because you always treat every customer right.
The footage was good!
What an incredible store. I would be in there for hours salivating the entire time.
Awesome store
❤❤❤
Best shop ever? That’s a bold statement buddy! I’d argue my shop is the best ever. Can’t even begin to tell you some of the amazing books and deals I’ve got from them.

Man, I live in St. Charles county, have managed a comic store in the past (way, waaaay in the past) and didn't know about STL Comics until now. I don't hit too many comic stores anymore as time (and money) is just too short, but I'm going to have to go check them out when I have a day to myself. Thanks for a great rundown of their store.

Just watched your video from a few month ago showcasing some of their HC books. $6 to $10 for HC? Man, that's incredible! And since it's how I do most of my collecting these days, I'm definitely going to be heading over there first chance I get. Do they have many indies (I'm mostly an indie reader these days) in those formats?@@AlextheComicHoarder
So much goodness up in there! I would be walking out of there with a hurt wallet and a big smile on the regular! 👍🏾😀
I get so jealous watching these videos. Where I live we have one very small comic shop. I have a hard time finding anything there. I have resorted to searching auction sites to find books.

You're definitely making me want to head south to check this place out. And yes, Lunch Money Comics is an awesome channel.
Time to buy a vacation home next to STL comics.
I would love to buy those 2/1.00 comics

I'm located down south of STL, so I don't get up to St Charles all that often but I think I'm gonna have to make special trip! This place looks amazing!
Amazing store and awesome video! I saw lots of great stuff that I’m interested in so just reached out. Their prices are very fair too!
The Guardians of Knowhere book you were looking at is a minor key. First cover appearance of Gwenom. I picked it up for a really good price at my LCS a few weeks ago.
When you first examine the counter, you display collecting fever so well. Dang, I have that Galactus that is selling for $100. Speaking of $100 - what I could buy in there!! Wow - so many cool older issues that aren’t too expensive. The fatigue is real - when I go to Amoeba (a huge record and movie store) I always get burned out without even checking out a fraction of their stuff). I reeeaaally want to go through that 2 for $1 section. This vid is great - thank you so much. It wasn’t too long for me. Ummm…
Ouch. Should’ve picked up those Damian Wayne’s for 25 ea
Some nice books in $2 boxes.
It’s impossible to leave there empty handed.
Love it, glad to see the guys get some love. STL Comics is the wife and I's "shop" of choice. Pop in several times a week and the guys are always phenomenal. Great video! Keep up the great work!

I'm about 5 minutes from there so I can go by every time they put out new stock. They do have a Facebook and Instagram page where they notify when new boxes come out as well as individual listing for priced as marked as well as the figures, cards, etc.. They will pull and hold or ship if you like. Great shop and staff!

I enjoyed the store footage, great video Alex 👍 it kills me seeing those Power Rangers toys and not being able to pick them up though 😂. I just unboxed a couple of Artfx statues, you should treat yourself next time.
I can't believe they have signed copies for 10 bucks. Iron man no. 5 is cool👍
From a customer's point of view I look at all of those comic book boxes and other merchandise and think 'paradise', but if I were to take the viewpoint of the comic book store owner all of these back issues and toys might mean that the store is struggling because of how much product they're taking in and not selling. I'm always curious about how some of these stores survive, even my local store.
its crazy how lcs have slabbed comic back issues you can thumb through...🎉

Most comic books are available to read online for FREE. There is a off-shore website which allows you to do this. Why would you buy an old comic book? They’re a bad investment.
