History

Established in 2014.

Owning a comic shop has been a long time dream that I never expected to be a reality. My wife had been working toward a degree in business and was ready to work for herself and the two ideas started as «maybe we should open our own business…» conversation. As I approached retirement from the US Navy and the birth of my next child, my wife and I decided to just go for it. On 22 January 2014 The Lazarus Pit, LLC was born and on 30 May 2014 The Lazarus Pit Comics opened it’s doors in Highwood, IL.
