History

Established in 1993.

Although Comickaze Comics Books and More officially opened its doors in 1993, the seeds were sown back in 1980 when boyhood friends Robert Scott and Ray Wong began selling a local shop’s comic overstock at a swapmeet.

In a few months they developed a large following that now wanted new comics as well. An account was opened with local distributor and sales grew to the point that it became necessary to have an every day location, as well as shelter against the occasional wind and rain at the swapmeet.

Thus was born the Comic Alternative on Moraga Avenue in Clairemont as well as the Scottish Rite Comic Shows. In 1993 Robert struck out on his own and opened Comickaze Comics Books and More and in 2015 added a 2^nd location in Historic NTC Liberty Station!

Comickaze is found annually on Best of San Diego lists,

Meet the Business Owner

Robert S.

Business Owner

Part of the San Diego Comic Scene for over 40 years, I started reading comics brought home by a neighbor who worked at a local grocery store but «outgrew» comics in my early teens, or so I thought.

1977 brought Heavy Metal magazine to America, introducing me to Moebius, Corben, Bilal, Jodorwosky… and a new, exciting style of comic that rarely exhibited spandex or super powers and contained mature and thought provoking themes. They drug me back in.

Since then I have made a concerted effort to not only seek out new and exciting creators but to support them, as a customer, a retailer and an advocate through publishing.

I have written and published my own comic (The End: AFC Studio), co-​published the outstanding Wasting the Dawn (with IDW Publishing) and served as an Eisner Awards (Academy Award of comics) Judge and founded the largest professional Comic Industry Advocacy Group, the Comic Book Industry Alliance.

Please come by and tell me about your history with comics.
