New England Comics

Effective October 29, 2025, George Suarez, the founder and owner of New England Comics, Inc. will be retiring from the business, having sold his interests to Tom Yee and Ralph Blaser. Starting with a "hole in the wall" 500sf store in 1983 in Quincy Center, George and his co-owner Henry Scagnoli (who retired several years ago) built "NEC" into the largest and best-known comic store chain in New England. At its peak, NEC had 11 stores, including two in Tampa, Florida.
