Great selection… I went in looking for something specific and, like most visits to comic shops, got derailed with other interesting stuff

Really nice store with a really nice selection. The staff was very friendly. Their independent section is some of the best Ive seen. Their manga selection was a little lacking but thats par for the course in any comic shop. I look forward to shopping there again.

Nice and cozy LCS with a little sprinkling of the attendant nerdy accoutrements (MtG, D&D spell cards and dice, etc.) and a wide selection of figures.

Its not good man I am angry at them because you can get two packs of pokemon cards per customer and when it was my turn they did not want to give me any cards cause they say 2 per group but it says 2 per CUSTOMER

Great comic book shops with tons of back issues of Marvel and DC comics. Theyve also got an excellent selection of newly released comic, graphic novels, collectors editions and memorabilia . Nice helpful staff as well.

Comic shop chain location with a neighborhood feel. Perhaps its the building its in, or perhaps its the friendly staff, but this Graham Crackers is really a great store. I love the selection of trades and single issues. And the fact that they have access to the inventory of any other Graham Crackers doesnt hurt. If youre a comic fan whos out off by comic shop chains stop in and give this location a look. Its certainly made me change my mind.

Really love this location, theres actually enough space to move around without feeling like youre going to back into someone, which is unique for a comic shop! Plus Kayleigh and Nick are awesome. Now if I could just remember to put my Pokemon Go code on the sign up sheet...

Special shout outs to Nick! I am getting married in one month and I have been painstakingly trying to track down copies of the Spider-Man wedding issue as groomsmen gifts. He has been helping me for over a week gather up as many copies as he could. I just picked then up and theyre perfect. Thank you for all your dedication, you have been ::cue all the groans:: AMAZING!

When I moved to Uptown last summer I wasnt sure if there were any comic shops in this area. It was a nice surprise to discover the Edgewater location. Its clean, well organized and the titles I like are always in stock. Nick is always right there to help with anything you need and you can tell that his concern for the customers is genuine.

I have never really been loyal to a comic store before, but Graham Crackers is now the only place I’ll go to. The staff is so great that they’ve spoiled me for any other place in the city. They remember what I like, hold things for me, and are just all around amazing. In an age where customer service is a thing of the past, GC is a breath of fresh air, and an absolute pleasure that resets the bar on what can be done with a caring team that never disappoints! Give those kids a raise!!!

The owner is really cool and knowledgeable. His store pretty much has a wealth of items for the casual to the collector. If he doesnt have it, you dont want it--

Review β„–43

I would highly recommend a visit to this store if youre on the north side of Chicago. The sales clerk was friendly and helpful, both on the phone and in person. He also asked thoughtful questions about me as a collector and advised me on their news feeds. They had a clean and well-organized store. The back issues offered a nice selection, were well-priced, and also organized. I would recommend a road trip to visit this store and their Lakeview location as well. Kid-friendly.

Went for free comic book day and everyone was super friendly. Deducted one star just because the selection of manga was limited to one small part of a single shelf. Tons of American comics though.

I love this comic books store (along with the other 2). The employees are always so helpful and about as, if not more nerdy than I am on the topic of comics books. It very refreshing.

Such an amazing selection of comics and toys. The employes are amazing and one in particular named kayleigh went out of her way to help me with all my comic needs. If you’re ever in the area make sure to drop by and check out the store.

Good comic shop with a huge selection of comics and some memorabilia. Does not carry much in the way of MTG or tabletop gaming. Reasonable prices make it a great comic store.

Review β„–55

In response to Sonny Rs post below...I have literally followed the staff across three locations in the city now. (Starting at Lakeview I think, then Edgwater, now Andersonville) and have traveled far out of my way to buy comics from the friendly staff here.I am sorry Sonny had a bad experience, but they should realize that on a Tuesday afternoon at a comic shop, the staff is going to be prepping for the Wednesday rush and might miss you.

Great shop, tons of comics. Small amount of collectibles. I would much rather go to a Graham Cracker in a better neighborhood as they tend to have a larger selection.

Review β„–59

I have been frequenting Graham Crackers for quite awhile now. I was sad that the Andersonville location moved to Edgewater because it is a bit further from my house but Nick is still there so all is saved! Nick is always very friendly and helpful. I have special ordered a few items through Nick and he is always quick to fill the order and notify me when my books come in. If you need comics on the North Side, Graham Crackers is the place, and Nick is the man true believers. Nuff said.

Review β„–63

Always friendly and helpful. I am also a bit bemused at the other reviewer who said the place looked cluttered. Must be some hipster n00b who first walked into a comic store for the first time last week after seeing Justice League. Its a comic book shop, dummy, not an art gallery. I have been frequenting comic shops for the last 30 years and if I walked into one that was NOT FULL of comics, Id assumed they just opened recently. GCC in Edgewater is precisely what I expect a seasoned and established comic store to look like. Long boxes full of comics and action figures and back issues covering the walls. No, I dont own stock or know any employee personally; just happy to put the shop over and take a stand against doofus reviewers.

For the past eight years I have gone to GC Edgewater and because of Nick Lipe there is simply no shop in a 50 mile radius better. I should know because I drive that distance monthly to shop there. Mr. Lipe is the most professional, knowledgeable, do anything for any customer to make sure you get the books you want manager I have had the pleasure to give my business to. This is from a high end collector of 28 years. Nick could operate out of a tent in a parking lot and I would only do business with him. He IS customer service !! His team including Kaliee has brought the comic book shopping experience to a new level. The shop is always clean, bright, fully stocked, and never out of any book I need and they finds all special requests that I have. Support this shop and praise this managers passion for quality service and staff. The Comic Gods of Edgewater!!!!πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
