Hundreds of issues, endless nostalgia...

Visit Shop 78, where vintage and modern comic books line the walls in row after row of bagged-and-boarded glory. This Tacoma shop is a serious destination for comic book collectors, with hundreds of issues spanning Marvel, DC, and independent titles from the Bronze Age through the Modern era. Multiple display racks are packed deep with titles, and the selection is organized enough to let you hunt by character or series. Whether you're filling gaps in a long run or starting a new collection, the sheer volume of comic books here makes Shop 78 worth a dedicated visit.

Marvel fans will find themselves in familiar territory fast. X-Men titles dominate entire rows, from classic Uncanny X-Men and Astonishing X-Men to X-Force, X-Men Legacy, and standalone Wolverine issues. The Avengers are well represented too, with runs of Mighty Avengers, New Avengers, and Civil War tie-ins alongside Captain America, Hulk, Black Panther, Deadpool, and Ghost Rider. Punisher collectors can dig through War Journal, War Zone, and multiple limited series. On the DC side, Green Lantern takes up serious shelf space with Emerald Dawn runs, plus you'll spot JLA, Batman, Justice League, and Shadow of the Bat issues mixed in.

Beyond the big two publishers, there are G.I. Joe issues from Marvel's classic run, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from IDW, Steve Canyon reprints, Alpha Flight, Power Man and Iron Fist, and even a 'Nam war comic section. A blue-lit display highlights key issues and higher-grade books, while vintage magazines, a Seattle Mariners scorecard, and a World Series 1979 program add crossover appeal for sports collectors browsing nearby. Video games for Wii, Xbox, and PlayStation line the top shelf for gamers who wander in. Shop 78 is a comic book collector's stop in Tacoma that rewards patience and a love for the hunt.
