The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, published annually, is widely considered a primary authority on the subject of American comic book grading and pricing.We use Overstreet Price Guide grading criteria and descriptive grades (e.g. Fair, Good, Very Good, Fine, Very Fine, Near Mint) to indicate the condition and consequent value of a comic bookA copy that falls between grades may be noted with a + or a – symbol; between grades can also be noted with a / as in “G/VG” or VF/NMExample, a comic that is in "VG" condition is allowed to have an accumulation of defects. A VG comics is average used comic book. A comic in this grade shows some wear, can have a reading or center crease or a moderately rolled spine, but has not accumulated enough total defects to reduce eye appeal to the point that it is not a desirable copy. Some discoloration, fading and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a ¼’ triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge. A missing square piece (1/8” by 1/8”) is also acceptable. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Cover and interior pages can have some minor tears and folds and the centerfold may be detached at one staple. The cover may also be loose, but not completely detached. Common bindery and printing defects do not affect grade. If you're not familiar with comic book grading please refer to our grading guide or please just ask! We have decades of experience and will always be upfront about our books! We would be happy to answer any question you might have! Near Mint NM Nearly perfect with only a minor additional defect or defects that keep it from Near Mint.

Who We Are Escapist Comics is a genuine brick and mortar bookstore and may well be the one of the best comic stores to find unique graphic novels or indie books. We opened in March 2011 and hired staff of the legendary comics' retailer Comic Relief. Our staff has decades of collective experience. We have so much more great stuff at the store why not come by? We're open 7 days a week! Also don't forget about our sister store Dark Carnival, SciFi/Fantasy/Horror Bookstore, they carry all genre needs as well! 510-654-7323 or you can always give us a call too at 510-65-COMIC(510-652-6642) or Just hit Ask a seller a question *Thanks* SHIPPING Shipping: We offer FREE shipping for most purchases over $20 unless you make other arrangements. Many other options are available; we will try to find the best one for you. Are you in California? Why pay shipping at all? Come on over.

International Customers: We will work to find solutions to the daunting expense of international shipping. For example, a recent customer from Australia asked us to fold up a poster and mail it to her in an envelope, rather than the usual mailing tube, which can be very expensive; she saved about 90% of the shipping cost. On the other hand, you may want us to spare no expense protecting your collectibles, let us know what works best for you. Best Offers: We may be open to negotiation on prices on some items. However, many of the items we list are on consignment, which limits our ability to make deals in those cases. FEEDBACK As soon as you pay we will automatically leave you positive feed back! We would also like positive feedback, so if everything is not to your satisfaction please let us know how we can make things better! Thanks!
