| - I'm from Orlando, Florida and had the distinct pleasure of shopping at Dreadnought Comics and would recommend anyone to go here!
While visiting Phoenix on a work trip (and I always like to find a local comic shop to pop into in any of my work or personal travels.) I was lucky to find this store in close proximity of my work location, and I have to say I would recommend it to any comic fan.
The staff: Super nice and helpful. There is absolutely no condescending need tone as both guys I met here were Very welcoming and gracious hosts. I loved their challenge to help me find any of my grails or books I've been hunting.
One of my favorite characteristics of this shop was the presentation of an ultimate wall book experience. We might be used to a comic shop's more blue chip books located on the wall behind the register. Not in this case. There was a "museum archival" feel with wall Books filed very cleanly and safely on Movable "walls" that were segmented by character, or artist to make for easy finding.
If you are looking for hard to find key issues and/or Key covers, go there! Prices are very fair compared to what's going on on eBay, some you'll find about 10-20% under what's selling in fact. Nothing is grossly over priced at all. I found a bunch of hard to find covers and issues I had been searching for back home. Unfortunately I had to control my urges and resist blowing all my money in one shot!
Here are some searches you could do:
- Michael Turner (amazing Selection of his indie and DC Work, and some Marvel too) (was able to pick up a great looking NM copy of Supergirl 50 with a great Turner cover I never find at home in that great of condition)
- a J Scott Campbell wall
- some great Silver age fantastic four (first Warlock on their upper wall), good looking copy I was heavily tempted on.
- great Batman keys, a joker key section, yes you will find the Jock Detective comics 881(?) iconic cover during the Scott Snyder run.
- and don't forget they have back issues and a great bleacher styled shelves for more recent back issues. All are bagged and boarded and presents well. Everything is clean, in fresh bags and boards. You won't be holding a 30 year old comic in a dusty smoky bag and board I assure you.
If I lived in Phoenix, this is where I would get my pull list.
They also give you a nice rigid cardboard box with a local artist print emblazoned on it (ill include a picture of the Metal image with the Batman who laughs). This is a super nice touch when you purchase that $50 book and want to protect it during transit. Thank you for the box to help protect my comic while traveling back to Orlando.
If you live in Phoenix and don't ever go, you need to rethink your actions and put it on your to do list.
5 stars all the way.
