I love these obscure titles … they are all part of our collective History as collectors. Your archives are the most incredible sight I have ever seen. So grateful to you for sharing and making videos for us collectors that live far away.
Mr. Rozanski, your tour of the "store" was phenomenal. I am so glad that someone shares my passion to document comic history and not just make a buck. Well done!
Absolutely unbelievable what he has built. I'm not sure what the end game is for growing for growing's sake, but he has amassed an incredible inventory. I used to frequent his stores when I lived in Aurora and Golden back in the 80's and even remember making one of my first back issue purchases from Mile High through a comic book ad in the late 70's. As much as I appreciate what he's done and currently does, it's a shame that his prices are so far above the norm that even a 60% "sale" doesn't prompt me to move on his books. The last time I bought something from Mile High was at the Mega Store a couple years back when I took my boys on a vacation to Colorado and I just had to show them this massive warehouse. We purchased a couple of graphic novels at face value and a few dollar bin comic books. I find it amazing that he says he's not in it for the money when you consider what he's doing with these Mile High Exclusive Covers on the Star Wars comics. That's purely a money grab that at face value has nothing to do with the "primary mission". Having said that, there is something to be said that to fulfill the primary mission, you have to have capital. I respect what he's built and the amount of toil its taken to do it, not only with his comics, but also his farming and native american antiquities. I will always have fond memories of Mile High comics from my days in Colorado and shortly thereafter. He's an American Icon (for the comic book industry) and more power too him.
i love you, chuck. it was a pleasure to meet you at the 2007 Comic-Con in San Diego. it's always so cool to order my comics from you by mail. thanks again and all the best.
I really like Chuck's attitude and the way he approaches everything. I hope I'll be able to visit Mile High Comics one day, it would be a great experience.
I bought another mystery box of comics which I absolutely love… and I respect you raising the prices as time goes the books are always near mint and never disappoint. I love your collection. The ultimate collector… waiting for a comic to come out about you! Hehe not just the beautiful mile high variants which also command respect! Your tpb are top notch in condition.
Thanks for the inside scoop. Having seen this, it just occurred to me that if I could only do one thing in life, it would be to be the Chuck Rozanski/Mile High Comics of toys.
Thank you for sharing. MHC has helped me build an awesome collection of yes, the oddest and the coolest stuff. Comics are magic, make them! Study them!
Your philosophy reminds me of a question I came across once in my own research and study. "What would you do if money were no object for you". To which my answer was. I would learn and study everything I possibly could. Becoming knowledgeable in all things by the end of my life. if I were to visit your store. I definitely would be checking out the obscure section. In my own modest collecting. I always seem to be drawn to the oddball comics.
The Man, The Myth, The Legacy. I have a passion for comic books, especially the Uncanny X-Men. My long term goal is to collect the X-Men (1963) #1-544! I have met some of the most incredible Milehighcomics Staff to grace the earth. The staff doesn't get Nearly the props they deserve. I work there when I can for credit in my spare time. THANK YOU Chuck!
I ran across one of your newsletter videos and I was excited to look up the first video that you posted, I am so glad I did and I am quite happy that you are doing what your doing! Thanks!
I have been a mile high comics ‘nice’ member (is that a term still used?) since I moved to Denver in 2001. I have to say that I’ve enjoyed the e-mail updates from you Chuck and more recently the e-mail communication I have with your Glendale store. It’s super helpful in pre-ordering the books I’d like and also for getting to know everyone on a personal level. I’ll be looking forward to future instalments Chuck. I dig the way you do business.
I'm curious about something: Chuck is about 62 or 63 years old, which is still young (By my standards) but does he have a plan to have Mile High Comics carry on after his death?
I'd don't get that impression. He talks about other retailers as if they have different goals then him, which they do. He has expressed in the past that due to some good fortune he has managed to be able to create a life where selling isn't the top priority, but that wasn't always the case.

I’ve got so much respect and admiration for you, Chuck! You have created a modern Wonder of the World in Mile High Comics! 👏👏👏😍😍😍

It's literal heaven for comic book lovers!!
One of the reasons I moved to Colorado. Thank you Chuck for allowing us to enjoy your massive collection!
I bought so many comics off Mile High back in the day, one of if not the best LCS.

Well Said, you have an awesome business and you should be very proud!

This is one place where I would want to spend a zombie apocalypse.

Such an impressive operation. Yet somehow their webpage looks like something from the 90s lol
Keep up the good work!!!
Have a nice day!!!
Instead of the actor Benicio Del Toro, to play as the Collector in Guardians of the Galaxy, it should have been this gentleman.
I'm curious about something: Chuck is about 62 or 63 years old, which is still young (By my standards) but does he have a plan to have Mile High Comics carry on after his death?
Your my hero
i buy comic from them alot on ebay...thanks so much
No offense to Benicio del Toro, but Marvel should have cast Chuck as The Collector.
I COMPLETELY AGREE - WELL DONE
I would like to donate a large collection you when I die
Must be nice to be rich and just have that place and not care to sell or make money
Good fortune and having differing goals will do that.
guy talks about other retailers as if they're multi-millionaires like him
I'd don't get that impression. He talks about other retailers as if they have different goals then him, which they do. He has expressed in the past that due to some good fortune he has managed to be able to create a life where selling isn't the top priority, but that wasn't always the case.
