Copacetic Comics Company

Specialties

The Copacetic Comics Company is a full service book store specializing in creator owned comics and focusing on small press and self-​published works. In addition to our focus on comics, we offer a curated complement of contemporary and classic literature, non-​fiction, poetry and books of art, as well as a wide range of music on CD — from classical to punk, with an emphasis on jazz — and movies on DVD — with a focus on foreign films. The majority of items sold are discounted; most items are discounted 10% — 20%, but there are special sale areas where items are discounted 40% — 80%! In addition, we offer a special order service on all in-​print books, comics, CDs and DVDs. Special orders may be placed over the phone or via email and customers will be notified upon their arrival, which is normally within a week. Nearly all special orders are also discounted. And, finally, we do offer a strictly graded selection of collectible comic books from the 1940s through the present.
