Do you love comics? I mean really love comics – the four-colors and smell of newsprint? Do you loving digging for back issues, talking comics, and getting great recommendations from someone really into comics? Then Heroes is the place for you. I live in Ithaca and had heard of Heroes for years. I stopped over last May around closing time on a Thursday evening and within 15 minutes, knew I had to come back. Jared, the owner, was so personable and connected immediately over comics. I admired an old Joe Kubert cover. Knowing what I might like, he asked if I wanted to check out some books that had come in from a recent collection of bronze age books. I pulled a bunch of DC horror books – Swamp Thing, House of Mystery, Unexpected, etc. They had not yet been priced, but he told me to pull the books, and he’d have them priced for me. That was in May. Somehow, I could not find an open date to return – even though it’s about 45 min from my house. The pictures of those beautiful bronze age books haunted me when I would occasionally see them on my phone. I was sure those books had been sold. When I finally made it over to the shop – almost 4 months later – Jared had the books waiting for me (the box even was marked “reserved, don’t touch” to ward off other hands!). That day was a highlight to say the least. I picked up the books (pricing was incredibly fair – given the nice condition/age of the books) and more comic recommendations from Jared. Jared runs a great shop and supports the comics community and collectors alike. He helps support the creator community - through his support of area cons and in-store signings and helps collectors find those missing issues to complete their collection or just simply fuel their 4-color hunger!
