sell your comic books in Chicago

Chicago has two of the Midwest's biggest shows — C2E2 at McCormick Place since 2010 and FAN EXPO Chicago in Rosemont — and a collector base to match, from the city to Evanston, Naperville, Schaumburg and Northwest Indiana.

Chicago also has comics history: Chester Gould's Dick Tracy ran out of the Chicago Tribune. Whatever you've got, send photos for a free appraisal, and we'll value every key book.
