Our Story

Subscription Comics started when I was 14, with my first job at Excalibur Comics, my local shop in Portage, Indiana. One day a week, working for store credit. I've been hooked on comics ever since.

After years building operations experience in the corporate world — learning how the best companies systematize, document, and take care of people — I found myself wanting to apply my skills to the comic book industry.

We launched Subscription Comics as an online store in 2023 and opened our retail space in Evansville, Indiana that same year. Three-plus years later, we're a subscription-first comic shop serving collectors and brand-new readers alike — in store and shipped to your door anywhere in the country.

Why We Exist

Our mission is to grow new comic readers — the ones who drifted away, and the ones who never started.

If you read books, you should be reading comics; the stories go just as deep, and the art makes them hit different. If you've only seen the movies, the comics are where those ideas came from — and they go places Hollywood never will.

We make it easy to start, and we take obsessive care of the people who do. That means fair prices on every new title, expert packaging so your books arrive flawless, and a shop — online and in person — where you always know where to start.

The best comic shop experience, wherever you are.
