I cannot agree on the Lone Star Comics praise,

I have ordered from them on several occasions, and on each occasion I received the wrong comic, or my comics were not bagged and boarded for which I had paid, or the comics was way misgraded. I received a Resurrection Man #1 in supposedly NM condition, but the lenticular had been PULLED off of the cover! I put up with this for a while, but finally I canceled my account due to the unapologetic non-aid that I received from a Lone Star employee; let’s just call her “B”.

Thanks very much for the help! I had no idea there was so much consensus — I’ll check out mycomicshop.com.

Lone Star and Mile High are both worthy of their good reputations, though I tend to prefer buying stuff from Mile High off eBay rather than dealing with them through their website. Not sure why.

Lone Star’s prices may or may not match your needs, but as far as service, condition and packing go, I’ve never experienced better mail order.

I’ve bought stuff from milehighcomics; get on their newsletter list, and you’ll get notes about coupons. I have had some problems with the books ordered, but they’ve always resolved the problem quickly.

I’ve also used Lonestarcomics with success.

If you were looking for a monthly pre-order place, I’d give the highest recommendation possible to mailordercomics.com, as they have fantastic service and prices. But that’s not what you’re looking for, is it? ;)

I have to pile on the Lonestar bandwagon. I have been very pleased every time I have delt with them.

I have to second the Lonestar suggestion. Sometimes they run sales (40-50% off) on their back issues, so you should checky-checky.

Lonestar Comics has a great site: mycomicshop.com

They have a great selection, lots of cover scans, their prices are good, and the website is very functional.

I’ve spent a lot of money with them lately, always with very solid results. They’re honest with grading, too. I ordered something recently, and when they went to pull it from their stores, they found it had been listed too high, and did not send it to me without checking whether I would accept it at the new, lower grade (and price).
