History

Established in 2015.

Business History, eh? Well my I opened up my brick and mortar shop in Manayunk on Sept 2, 2015. But I’ve been planning and buying for the business for yeeears. I’ve also been designing tshirts and creating pop culture-​related art for years and selling them at conventions and art fairs, but now it can all be found in one place! I also do art commissions for anyone who needs a present for that special someone, what other shop offers that?

I was just in there tonight. I met the owner JD and his wife, and instantly struck up a conversation about movies and comics and music. Not a far stretch for topics to be discussed in a comic store, but my point is, if you can meet someone for the first time and instantly chat it up with them as easily as I did, they’re the kind of people who deserves your business.
The shop was smaller than you’d expect a comic shop to be, but I asked about two very different trade books from years ago and he had both, so don’t let the lack of shelves upon shelves fool you. Also, he has a artwork done by himself on the walks for sale. I really had my eye on a Deadpool he drew but I spent way too much money today, perhaps I’ll try back in a few weeks to snatch it up if it’s still there.
It’s a little hidden towards the far end of Main Street past the music store when most of the bar/​restaurant foot traffic lightens up. Make it a point to walk a few more feet and check this place out.

We love Hero Complex! The best comic shop in all the ‘verse. Jd the owner is extremely friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Pick his brain for all the answers to your comic questions. Awesome shirts, figures, and games. If he doesn’t have it in stock, he can most likely find it for you. Don’t miss out on your next visit to Manayunk!
