Like many others, I could spend many, many more hours here. As it is, I was here for 3 hours and barely scratched the surface during a recenr visit to Denver.
It is easy to tell when you've arrived. It is in a lower end business kind of area, but the building is huge and it has enormous murals of comic books on the outside of it. You enter through a red door and enter Narnia... er, Mile High Comics.
Not surprising, there are a lot of comics here. They have some that are out to look through yourself. What you see isn't even all of it. Below the rows and rows of long boxes chock full of issues are more boxes in the cabinets underneath. What are in those? I have no idea. Suffice to say, if you are hunting for issues, you've reached the place to look.
Staff waa friendly and ensured we knew the special they were running (issues with certain colored price tags were 60% off of that price), plus they pointed out some lesser expensive bins and a few other things to note. I wandered around for an hour trying to hunt for specific issues. I couldn't find all of them, but when I couldn't fins them, I checked their site. If it waa on their site, I could ring a bell and get someone to look through the motherload of all comic backstocks to pull it for me. Their inventory is pretty spot on.
If you aren't interested in comics, they have everything else as well. Action figures, plush toys, collectibles, pokemon, cards, games, figurines, the list goes on and on. In 3 hours, I walked through most of it quickly, but only saw about 20% of everything there.
Now, some of the prices on books canbe pretty high. I need a few Silver Surfer issues to finish my run and all they have are Mint Condition versions and they want over $100 a pop for those. Unless they were signed by the real life Silver Surfer, herald to Galactus, they aren't worth that much. Pretty decent copies of them are a fraction online, so you have to do some searching. That being said, some of the expensive issues werw offset by the 60% off for having the right colored price tag. You won't be able to get those deals online and must visit in person.
The check out was super fast and I paid a couple bucks to have them box up my issues so I could put them in my suitcase for travel. They arrived home safe and sound.
This place is a mecca for all things Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, GI Joe, Star Trek, Monster, Power Ranger, Dragon Ball Z, and on and on. You need half a day to have a shot at looking through the majority of it. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. This place was on my bucket list and it did not disappoint. I hope I can make it back to Denver to come back again!
