The Comic Book Shop has been in Wilmington, Delaware since it opened in 1991. Since that time, the store has gone through quite a few changes. We have expanded to maximize our selling space by knocking down walls and raising the ceiling. We have added new departments and increased the inventory of the existing departments. We carry all types of comics, from Golden Age to new this week. We also carry a wide variety of toys, statues, Trade Paperbacks, and anything else that you might expect to find in a great comics and collectibles store. Even if it is not listed on the web site, we might have it in stock in the store.

The cast of characters:
Joe is the owner of The Comic Book Shop. With a long history of collecting comics, his current collecting interests lean more towards original art and Action Comics under #100. Even so, he still keeps an eye out for pre-code horror and good girl comics from the 1940s. Since he bought the store from the original owner in March 1999, he has supervised the store's expansion. Joe takes care of many of the store's administrative details.

Tom Trettel is the manager of The Comic Book Shop. He grew up reading his dad's hand me down comics from the 1960s and still enjoys kicking back and reading great comic stories, both old and new. Tom started doing comic conventions as T&T Comics in the early 1990s with his dad (Joe). He turned it into a full time business by 1995, doing both conventions and mail order. When Joe bought the store in 1999, Tom lent his expertise to The Comic Book Shop and spent less time working on T&T Comics. Now, Tom manages all of the day to day work of the store. Buying collections, ordering new items, answering e-mails, and keeping the store running smooth are just some of Tom's daily tasks.
