My favorite comic shop ever! As long as Captain Marvel and Dr. Strange stories keep coming, Ill be there for my books!Also, The Captain will definitely take care of you!
Ontario Street Comics is easily the best Comic book shop in the Philadelphia area. A huge selection of back issues, collectable toys and other pop culture paraphernalia.
Its one of the best comic book stores in this city go and spend your money its a great place everybody that works there is always friendly and helpful and they will always have what you want if you dont see it just ass and they will get it for you its a great comic pool store to go to
Great place, EVERYTHING Comic. And Movies were made there
I love this place! It has so many comics, action figures, and more.
1ne of the TOP THREE Comic Book Stored in Philly!!💯💯💯💯
Ive been going to this awesome place since I was a kid and would have to say its one of the best comic book shops Ive even been too.. I ask for help and they always go above and beyond to assist me or even help look for a simple comic book.. the best part is that they usually have what I was looking for 👍👍..keep up the good work guys
Love going here they have what I need and what I love and the owners are so awesome they give me the best deals and they are so honest with you thanks guys for your help.
Ontario Street Comics has been my favorite place to go for comics and collectables. The owner William The Captain of OSC is an amazing person and a legend among the community. I bought my 1st pack of pokemon cards here when I was a kid. Also the movies Unbreakable and Glass were filmed at this iconic location.
Friendly staff, good selection but mostly more recent comics. Older comics on display are faded. Very bad neighborhood with limited parking prevents me giving a higher rating.
Love these guys! In a world where hobby collectors seem to be trying to gouge peoples eyes out w/prices, act like complete jerks to customers (see the store on Street Road just off Knights, or sometimes both. The guys here are both fair and kind, its always a pleasant experience!
I love the figurines in the store if I was rich I would legit buy all of them. If youre a comic book person they have plenty to choose from.
The best place in Philly and ,dare I say, the trip state area for comics and action figures. Low prices and great service. I go every week n will continue to for as long as I read comics
I have always visited this comic book shop ever since I was a kid with my father it has alot of great memories for me and am glad they are since in business. And they even do comic book day which is a day you get to grab a free comic book as well as dress up like your favorite character on that day kinda like comicon
If you are into comic books this is definitely the place for you. They have everything. Huge selection of not only comics but tons of other things like Super Hero busts. Action figures and a lot of Walking Dead merch.
This place has been here forever and a day since I way a young dude. Since I came to Philly from Hollywood Hills this is the ONLY spot I go for my comics. Great selection, great service and is a pretty sweet spot. 💯 this IS the place to go and when I recommend something it is guaranteed to be golden!
My name is actually Rick , lol and ive been going there for quite sometime ! Their store is massive , and they have a large selection of back issues ! They also have a ton of statues and figures ! The only thing is the boxes to sort through in the back ( left hand side ) , the random stuff , is covered in dust , lol ! But otherwise the place is awesome , very nice people as well ! Their truly a neighborhood , hell a PHILLY institution !! But theyre fairly well priced and will order whatever if you let them know you need it !
What a comic shop should be. Its an older space, it has character and its a massive. A seemingly endless inventory with lots of good older stuff. I always find a gem or two everytime I go. Quiet place, super friendly staff. Best store in the city hands down.
I’ve been going there for years and it’s one of my favorite stores to visit . I took my children when they were small and now they are grown men, we still go. I recommend anyone who likes comics or is an action figure collector, they must go. This is a gold mine for collectors, plus the staff is always polite and helpful.
This is always one of my other favorite comic places when Im in the Northeast area. A lot of the times theyll have variant copies at cover prices but to get the hot Comics you got to be there today they come out like at most other comic stores. Just try to support their store and all the other comic stores out here right now. If you love Comics they all need our help
Great place to visit and buy comics books good people go visit and show them love keep the comic book community alive
Best comic shop in philly huge selection of comics and action figures and captain bill is just awesome
It’s the best comic shop in the city. The owner and employees are friendly and very helpful. They have all the current issues and a huge selection of back issues. Every comic they sell is already bagged and boarded. It’s a great place to go for comics and collectibles.
Been coming here since I was a teenager and it was an indoor flea market with a section dedicated to comics. The owner and his family are great and so is the selection. Lots of older single issue comics if youre looking to complete an arc. It wont hurt to check them out.
Definitely one of the biggest comic book stores I have ever been too and has a HUGE selection of current comics, back issues, vintage comics, action figures and statues. If youre looking for a comic back issue which is difficult to find or looking for some vintage action figures.. This is definitely the place to be. It could use an air conditioner though... especially in the summer.
Great people and a family business !!Been going there for quite awhile !! Huge selection of comics, cards , figures etc !!
Great comic book store. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Only down side is that its a little disorganized when it comes to finding what you want. Other than that they do have a ton of stuff. Will be going back
After visiting many (I think all) of the comic shops in Philly I would say this one has to be my favorite. They have BY FAR the largest selection of back issues and a very knowledgeable staff. The selection is great. My girlfriend was looking for Lady Death and I was looking for Thor, we both found copious amounts of each at very reasonable prices.Do yourself a favor and visit this place, you wont be disappointed.
Love this place...has best comics sports cards, pokemon cards, action figures...The owner and his son been there since 89 I have been a customer since the 90s...Fun fact also Unbreakable and Glass movies had been filmed here!
Great staff makes you feel like family. Awesome prices and has basically any comic, figurine, cards, ECT. That you could imagine. It always feels welcoming when in the store.
Love that comic book store its still a great store for years!!
Went here for the first day of their New Year sale and I was quite impressed with their extensive selection. My first time In the store and I was amazed at how big it is. Great deals and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. My ONLY gripe was that they have so much stuff and some of it isnt organized so you really have to go through alot of stuff to find what you want.However, that IS part of the fun!
Awesome place. Friendly they have a huge selection of comics. I came in for MTG stuff and they had it. They also went out of their way to make sure I had everything I wanted. Great store and great staff
My kids love this place
Great place to get all your needs and wants from comic books to cards to live events for the kids. Friendly atmosphere for you and the family. The only thing that it needs is a space for tables and coffee shop
One of my favorite comic shops in Philly. Tons of books, figures, cards etc. Kind staff. Frequent sales on trade paperbacks
Its a solid comic book store, but its laid out poorly and it was hard for me to find anything. The toys are VERY hapharzardly displayed. It did have a good vibe and really good customer service though, so it has that going for it!
Great place! I was helped right away and found exactly what I was looking for. Excited to go back and dig around when I have more time, it seems like a real treasure trove.
There is always something I havent seen before. From comics to Funkos to action figures and collectibles, Ontario Street Comics has it all. Great prices too!
The place is a bit overwhelming with items EVERYWHERE, but I like that about the place. There is always something to look at. Things are a bit overpriced compared to other comic book stores
This place is comic book paradise. Friendly, helpful staff will help you find what you are looking for or make suggestions when you need them. They also hold great comic book based events with fantastic cosplayers.
Love it here, been going here for trading cards and comics since the 90s...The owner Bill and his son are truly good people!
Best comic shop in the country hands down! You won’t find another one like it anywhere. Top notch customer service and their love and care for comics is unmatched. 💪
I have always loved going to this store since 2005,especially for my DC figures & on free comic book day. The staff is wonderful and friendly.
The biggest comic book store around and the nicest staff that comes with it. They board and bag all the comics and have no prob if you wanna open one up, you gotta like there F.B. page cause everyday cool and funny post of the merch and fun auctions of awesome stuff...By far my favorite comic book store in and around the Philly area
I went in to buy me and my friend some new comics. I bought 8 comics 2 each of the new DC Rebirth. The guy almost didnt sell them to me because he said he wants to make sure other people can get a copy. Seriously? 4 of those 8 were going to someone else who couldnt make it down. Unbelievable. The guy was well past rude.
A little out of the way but you cant beat the service its so welcoming. They have every thing from comics (witch are baged and boarded at no extra coast) tcg cards busts statues and collectables and tons of vintage toys. This is a must for any comic fan in the Philly area
Very nice place to buy comic books and every thing you need is ther go see it your love it
IVE BEEN GOING HERE SINCE I WAS A KID! MY KIDS LOVE THIS STORE!!!! THEY HAVE FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, DIFFERENT KINDS OF EVENTS WITH COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS( PEOPLE DRESSED AS COMICS). THEY ARE FAMILY OWNED.... GREAT PLACE TO VISIT..
I took my kids here after reading some of the other reviews. They were disappointed to say the least. I can see if you are in to vintage comics that this place might be heaven but my guys didnt find anything they wanted. They thought it smelled to...well anytime you have that much old stock, it is going to smell but it could use a cleaning.
My son has been going here for a while. They have a variety of comics and collectables. They are very nice and usually have some type of event for comic lovers.
The best always up to date
I call this store ol reliable. Its been around for a while, I went here as a child to get things like yugioh cards and comics. Any time I want to just shop around for things like that, I can always come here with full confidence knowing theyll have something interesting.
Been collecting for longer than I remember and captains crew are more family and have always taken care of my comic needs
Owner and family is super kind and generous! They help you with questions. You can sell comics and they have a bunch of cool figures and comics! There the best!
The best comic book shop in PA. The captain and his crew are always there for your comic book needs.
Been going for years, great place if you love a good rummage for back issues, probably the most extensive in Philly.
Love the place Come Here!!!
Excellent selection and service. Always friendly staff. I personally have been going there for over 20 years, and never once had a bad experience.You just dont find places like this anymore. It definitely has a customer for life.
Wonderful and very courteous staff! I would highly recomend this place. With a huge comic, and novilty selection, old and new you can not go wrong!
Its feels good to get back into comics. This store is a great place for what you need and old books you may be looking for.
Best comic shop in the city. Great facebook presense also. Videos and pics of in stock books and sakes all the time.
This shoppe was fun to go to and the guys were friendly. They have a large (and I mean LARGE, like XXXXXL) selection from golden age to current. The only thing is its HOT in the summer and a little hard to find things but overall a fun experience
Great place. Great prices. Lots of odd stuff can look around for hours. Friendly ppl. 5 stars absolutely
Super friendly staff, helped us right away.This place has become a destination for our family, well worth the Trek from whatever part of the city youre in.
Awesome store cool owner. Ive been a customer for over 20 years.

Been going there since i was a kid and still do friendly place
They have alot inside the store, I wanted to show my son what we did before cellphones, iPads and computers.. he wanted toys more than anything..
Awesome place for your weekly comic book pick up!!! All comics are already bagged and boarded so you always receive your comics in the best possible condition.
One of the most comprehensive comic and pop culture collectible inventories Ive ever seen. Dont let the neighborhood put you off, it is absolutely worth the trip.

Best shop in Philadelphia... Maybe in the whole world. Great free events, friendly service. One of the last authentic shops, support your local businesses!
I love this shop. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the location is so convenient! So much cool stuff there!
Tons of comics and the staff is always happy to help you find something. I asked about a certain comic on Facebook and The Captain put it to the side for me and it was ready and waiting when I got there.
Best comic shop around been going since I was 6
Great spot to get your fix of comic book. Heafs up $10 minimum using your credit card. That about 3 books.
The selection is awesome and they have all the new current comics plus the owner personaly looked for and found a rare variant I was seeking I definitely will be back.
Wonderful helpful staff and probably the most amazing selection of comic books, graphic novels, and collectables in all of Philadelphia or maybe even the whole tri-state area
This place is great to look for any comic books you might want, and the prices are extremely good.I highly recommend this place, it is easily one of the best comic book stores I have bought from.
Like this comic book store is not to far
This is a great and crazy shop. It is huge and has an enormous comic selection. Not only that the selection of collectables and cards cant be beat.
Great staff and huge selection. might be my new comic book store once I get done scouting other ones.
Great comic book store. Lots of old comics too like Howdy Doody.
Have been going here since I was little great place for new and old comics and the guys that work their are great always willing to help you fine what you want.
Place is a treasure trove of comics. Be prepared to spend a lot of time going though a plethora of back issue boxes. Most of which are not organized.
Theyve been there for years, and their selection is expansive. Glad to see them still serving our community
Very cool owners, HUGE selection and great deals.
I wanna ask a question. Do they sell anime manga in there?

2022-05-18Hidden gem of a shop! While the area isn’t great I’ve never had problems driving there. Amazing selection of comics, memorabilia, figurines, and cards. I stop by for MtG boosters and it’s always a great experience. Definitely recommend a stop by. It’s like stepping back in time in some ways!

2022-07-28Been going here since a kid. Over 20 years. Service is really good. You will feel like a kid in a candy store. Its everything you need to feel like a grown kid. Love it.

2022-06-26Waste of time. This was our second time coming from New Jersey ( 2 hour drive ) to check out this comic store. Ended up picking through some stuff and then a worker comes up to us and just says that “ this stuff isn’t for sale “. As excited collectors, we were persistent about what we had picked out and asked nicely if he could price it out. He said NO. Very sad and we will never recommend this store to anyone we know and we will never go back here.

2022-02-11“In a world…” where most comic stores have comics as afterthoughts with most square footage given over to RPGs, figurines, card games the like, Ontario Street comics is the Holy Grail. It looks like a comic warehouse exploded in there, and like 90s Scrooge McDuck you too can swim through the riches therein. I saw there was no discernible organization system, which I’m actually okay with, and just asked for assistance which was quickly rendered and with positive results—mid-90s (Marvel) War Machine. Their pricing is spot on (for what I picked up anyway). You could spend a full weekend in there scavenging for treasures. It is not in the best part of Philly, actually very scary deserted road/intersection, but like any big city try going in the full light of day and be cautious and you should be fine. Time has stood still here, it’s the good ol’ days of comic shops in Philadelphia, so treat yourself and pay them a visit.
