- Wish they had more indie, but not bad overall. The storage units for the back issues are really nice to look through. Everything is so CLEAN!!
- I have since decided this is the best comic book store in the city. Mostly because of the people: knowledgeable yes, but not pretentious. It's a very inviting and fun atmosphere they've created.
Check out the rack of local comics near the back. Lots of cool zines still being put out in the Chicago area. Makes for good stocking stuffers too.
Patric HoehnkeJuly 18, 2015A hidden gem of a comic book store. Events, great selection, staff/owners always give great advice, and are super friendly!
Jon ZambranoAugust 4, 2012The owners were incredibly nice! That tiny unassuming entrance leads to a fantastic store. Can't wait to go back!
BellyCardAugust 28, 2012Tucked away in a little corner in Andersonville, there is a store called AlleyCat Comics. Check in w @bellycard & get a free $1 comic, punch a staff member in the stomach or receive a $20 gift card

Andersonville Chamber Of CommerceNovember 30, 2012My husband loves it when we can stop here - a great place to celebrate his (not so inner) nerdiness.

Ask the owner, Nick, what his favorite Spider-man comic is.
