This is a list of indy friendly stores. I have compiled this list so that people can find good comics in good stores, and to help folks that want a good mailing list to use to promote their comic books. Please feel free to pass this list around. I require that this list is not sold, and require that the list remain completely intact with all of this text included.

I consider a store to be "indy friendly" if they make a concerted effort to stock good alternative comics and go out of their way to push quality new indy titles.

A note about comic book stores: Currently most weekly shipments of "new comics" arrive at stores on Wednesdays, so retailers are generally much more busy then. I'd advise that you do not call stores on Wednesdays because of that reason. Your best bet is to contact them on Mondays or Tuesdays, days generally much slower than the rest of the week. 1-888-COMIC-BOOK

If you think that a store should be added to this list, please let me know! Send all corrections, additions, and comments to: jmason@indyworld.com.

Just because a store isn't on this list doesn't mean they aren't indy friendly, and just because a store is on this list doesn't mean they are absolutely indy friendly, but hopefully this list does a good job for both.

You can always find a comic book store in your area on-line or by calling The Comic Shop Locator Service toll free at 1-888-COMIC-BOOK! Last but not least, feel free to check out The Master List of comic book stores out there.
