This is an old school comic shop with an older guy that runs it and some flunkies here and there. There are too many back issues, but what else are you going to put on the floor space, goofy anime toys? It is a comic shop! Just to respond to the review about the old guy just pointing to where things are -- I like guys who point where things are. I do not want an old guy to get up and become some Carol Merrill from the Monty Hall Lets Make a Deal days and show me some comic with a flowing wave of his hand. The shop is as big as a wrestling ring so it is not much trouble to figure out. It is not Home Depot. John found me a few comics that I was looking for that would have been cost prohibitive from ebay or skeedaddy. It is pretty cool to go to a shop with the "I know a guy, who knows a guy" philosophy to get you comics.

Im from Louisiana and I went here once about 5 years ago and it was amazing. The owners (?) were very knowledgeable and extremely friendly as well as great to talk to. Went back yesterday, and guess what? Same response from the last time. Its amazing how much the owner and staff have a HUGE impact on your experience. They werent expensive at all and the store had this HUGE nostalgic feeling about it. I plan on going back again around Christmas time and hopefully not have to wait 5 years again to go back. BEST STORE IN GREENSBORO hands down!

This is the best comic book store in the city. This place gives you a way to get the books your want and not seem to be looked down on as some stores do when you select your books. If you want to talk comics John can talk comics, if you want to talk Carolina basketball he can talk basketball, if you want to talk wrestling he will talk about that as well. One of the greatest people Ive met in my life and I continue to go back even though I dont live in the city anymore. Every chance I get I try to stop and make a purchase. Check it out.

This store is a small space, but has a broad selection of back issues and new issues. Even carried some alternative titles and non-main stream titles. Great bargain boxes. We visited several comic shops that day as part of a road trip and they were the only store running sales. The only down side to our visit was the clerk. Did not say anything to us until we went up to pay. That exchange was polite but basic small talk. He did not offer to help us find anything or interact unless necessary.

A great classic store thats all about COMIC BOOKS- easy to get to in the heart of UNCG. Parts Unknown always has something you didnt know existed or havent seen in ANY other store. Owner John Hitchcock is one of the nicest and knowledgeable guys you will ever meet in a comic store. solid selection of current and back issues as well as graphic novels.

Not only did they have what I was looking for they were able to point me in the right direction for dinner. As a traveler just passing through it was nice to have food recommendations and a comic or two to pass the time.

This place is the best. John runs an amazing store. I do all my business there. John lives comics. He has a great selection, and has wonderful stories about the comic world.

Solid. Best to know what youre looking for, even if the staff is very knowledgeable. If you dont plan it out, it might not be there, since this isnt a gigantic warehouse.

If youre a comic book fan this is the store for you - John Hitchcock really knows his stuff! Not just the best store in the city, probably the best in the state!

A friendly owner, plenty of new books and some nice key books. Backissue selection is hit or miss, as are prices.
