About Raw Comics

Raw Comics keeps things simple: our showroom creates no overhead costs, and that lets us make a fair profit while passing the savings on to collectors. The showroom is open by appointment only, and over the years dozens of regulars have made a habit of coming by frequently.

Why raw? Because comics should be read and the artwork enjoyed — not locked away in a vault that never gets cracked open.

A note on slabs: We specialize in raw comics, but we do sell slabs that come in on trade or in collections.

"We don't love 'em, but it's the nature of the business."

Almost 50 years in the business

We buy, sell, and grade raw comics, pricing them below market value so great books end up in the hands of fellow collectors at a price that still makes sense.

All books guaranteed. If you don't like your purchase, return it for a full refund or credit. We want collectors to be happy with their collections.

We ship throughout the United States — every state, plus US territories and APO/FPO addresses.

We ship from Walnut Creek, California. Standard shipping is USPS Ground Advantage at a flat rate by the number of books; Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express are available at checkout if you need it faster. Every option includes tracking.

Ground Advantage, anywhere in the US: 1–10 books $9.85 · 11–25 books $15.85 · 26 or more books $20.00.

We ship twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. If you need more immediate shipping, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and we will do our best to get it done.

Buying more than one book costs less than buying them one at a time. Multiple comics travel together in a single package and are charged as one shipment, so the shipping does not multiply with the order.

All Comics are professionally packaged for safe shipping (box, bubble-wrap, insured tracking) guaranteed.
