sell your comic books in Illinois
Illinois has one of the deepest collector bases in the country, anchored by Chicago's two big shows — C2E2, held since 2010, and FAN EXPO Chicago in Rosemont. Comics run in the state's history too: Chester Gould's Dick Tracy was syndicated by the Chicago Tribune.
From Chicago and the suburbs to Rockford, Peoria, Springfield and Champaign, send us photos for a free appraisal. You'll get a value for every key book and an offer that competes with any dealer.

Basements and spring storms
Illinois basements flood. If your comics are downstairs, get them up on shelves or into an upstairs closet in sealed bins, and run a dehumidifier through the summer.
