- 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.
wow ❤what a great shop really great inventory and superb prices keep em coming
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.
Prove it. LCS BATTLE!!!
@@AlextheComicHoarder Ohh, LCS BATTLE! If it doesn’t exist, I think you just came up with the next great cable reality show 🙌, to air on the CW lol.
@@Comicbookyoutubersrock honestly, we should talk and develop something. Even if only on youtube it could be something.
@@AlextheComicHoarder It’s a fun concept for CZcams 👍
❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the shout-out Alex, great stuff as usual!
You’re the goat my friend.
@@AlextheComicHoarder you flatter me, I owe much to watching you
First time seeing your channel. Saw four or five comics I’ve been looking for. Very nice shop. Video was perfect length when you’re looking at comic covers.
Awesome. Welcome and thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you!
Alex, MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS! This was great; love seeing other collector's LCS' 👊
Awesome store
Looks like an amazing store. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Always great to see how shops arrange and display their goods!
I spent an hour there tonight and it was so great. They are always e landing and changing too. Love that shop. Thanks for being here.
Awesome stuff! Glad I found your channel :)
Perfect length video
glad you did a 2nd longer video on SLC what a great shop and prices !!
STL Comics is my favorite back issue comic book store! I constantly monitor their social media sites because they post as soon as they release net items. Great video!
that is a crazy shop wow
Great video!
Wow. That place looks incredible. Would love to give it a visit some day.
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.
Absolutely. When you go in there tell them I said hello! The place is pretty incredible. You’ll love it.
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
Great shop with Great deals all the time.
Alex I enjoyed watching your video and nice book thanks for sharing.
What an amazing store!
That Slave Leia looks to me like a custom (Possibly by 'The Fans Strike Back' - who have ripped off many people with unfulfilled orders). So double check that!
Yeah. I’ll definitely check that. Thanks.
That’s so funny I’ve actually been their lol
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.
This is about 2 hours from where I live, but fortunately I travel a lot for work. That’s the only way I’d be able to visit so often. This place is so cool.
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 agree about STL. Freaking amazing shop. Thanks for the comment!
@@AlextheComicHoarder Of course, never a problem. New sub as well for ya, glad to see another local 'Tuber doing their thing. Keep it up!
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 almost started to book a flight 😂😂😂
You're definitely making me want to head south to check this place out. And yes, Lunch Money Comics is an awesome channel.
Alex I really enjoyed the video!! 😊😁👍 I wish it was a little bit longer!! oh by the way Happy New Year!! Keep up the good work I always enjoy your input and take on things!!
really is excellent prices on the priced as marked books
Ouch. Should’ve picked up those Damian Wayne’s for 25 ea
I would love to buy those 2/1.00 comics
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!
That's a nice shop! Looks like they're about 2 hours from me. Might have to take a road trip soon.
It’s impossible to leave there empty handed.
such a cool store! going to make it a point to eventually get there, even from sunny FL
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…
I could spend a fortune in there! Nice vid-subscribed!
Thanks so much! Hopefully I can put out another video or two this week! Thanks again.
I would love to spend a few hours in that 2 for $1 room and probably walk out with 50-100 comics
Yes sir! Same. He just loaded it up with more today. Holy. I want to do the same thing.
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.
Time to buy a vacation home next to STL comics.
Great shop to get lost in, and some really great prices!!
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!
Hey Alex! New sub, just found you today by searching "comic shop hunting" . Im not necessarily new to the hobby, but finally getting hooked. I collect pokemon and other things mainly, now going hard on comics. Thanks for the video, I'll be asking questions in comments if you dont mind
Hit me up anytime. IG is a good one to chat.
@@AlextheComicHoarder thank you!
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 have that Blue Beetle 75th figure as I am a big Blue and Gold fan
Blue and Gold was awesome.
I would work at that place for free, seriously what an amazing shop! Wow. You should interview the owners, pick there brains, I would love to hear their history! As always great video.
Sam from Canada 🇨🇦
Oh, man.... look at all those boxes.
Some nice books in $2 boxes.
The longer vids are just as cool as the shorter ones. I would suggest keeping a mix of both, or whatever you prefer. You have a good sense of what people like. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the comment. It helps to hear an opinion on it. I like your idea of a mix of it. Maybe like 15 minutes would be good.
@@AlextheComicHoarder I was more meaning one video being long, next video being short, next one long, again, but YOU hold the power, Alex!
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.
My bestie and I just talked today about a road trip and weekend in St Louis so we can go to stl comics and it's all because of your last video. She's huge into power rangers so it should be good for both of us. I'm near Milwaukee so it will be a nice little road trip.
Their power ranger selection is pretty cool. Did you see those cool figures in box and that cool display case.
If you all make a special trip I can tell you other places to check out to make your trip extra cool.
@@AlextheComicHoarder I did see them yes and I'll definitely let you know when we plan to go. Thanx!
I can't believe they have signed copies for 10 bucks.
Iron man no. 5 is cool👍
ha! I saw the gene simmons I sold them about a year ago!
Hey! That’s awesome. They have so much inventory and stuff coming in the door that they probably didn’t price it and put it out until recently. Isn’t that shop incredible?
@AlextheComicHoarder yes it is! If it wasn't for the fact that it takes me an hour and a half to drive there I would be there a lot! And you are right about the deals! He has real fair prices on pretty much everything!
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.
How are prices thats good question
its crazy how lcs have slabbed comic back issues you can thumb through...🎉
I Wanted A Shiny Card Of Garderovir Shiny Card Of Pokemon Cards?!. 😊🎉 9:12 Pm.
You bypassed the xmen 😢😑🤨
Stl Comics? really? You know how long this shop has been around?
Yep
@@AlextheComicHoarder Cool. So how long?
@@cardsfan5100 2 years in their current location. Before that in the Manhattan Antique Mall.
This is good to hear. Thanks for the news
@@AlextheComicHoarder This is cool. I can't wait to go. And thanks for the info.
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.
