Books that have crossed our table
Keys, slabs and raw books. We buy them all.
What we buy
Collections, singles and individual comics
Entire comic book collections
One long box or a garage full. Inherited collections, estate collections, storage-unit finds, a lifetime of Wednesday pulls. We take all of it, sorted or not.
Key issues and graded comics
First appearances, origin issues, number ones, famous covers, variants, and CGC or CBCS slabs in any grade. Send a photo of the cover or the label and we will quote it.
Single and individual comics
You do not need a collection to sell to us. One book, a short stack, or the handful of Silver Age comics your dad kept in the closet. If it is a comic, we want to see it.
How it works
Three steps from boxes to cash
Text COMICS to (559) 326-8337
Add photos: the spines in each box, a few covers, and anything you think is important. Or fill out the short form below. No lists, no sorting, no grading.
We call you back with a real offer
We price against actual recent sales, not a wish list. You get a straight number, usually within 24 hours, and we will tell you how we got there.
We come to you and pay on the spot
We drive to your home, storage unit or shop anywhere in California, Nevada, Arizona or Oregon, confirm the books, pay you, and load everything ourselves.
Why our offers are higher
Why we pay more than the shop or the mail-in buyer
No storefront, no overhead
A comic shop has rent, staff and a wall of books it already cannot sell. That cost comes out of your offer. We do not carry it.
We buy the whole collection
The big national buyers cherry-pick the pre-1980 keys and leave you with twenty boxes of moderns nobody wants. We buy everything, because we have our own outlet for the bulk books other buyers refuse: an eBay store with over 3,000 items sold and 99.6% positive feedback.
We are the end buyer
No consignment cut, no auction house commission, no middleman taking a slice. You are paid in full, in person, the day we pick up.
Who you're dealing with
A real buyer with a public track record
Our eBay store, Samurai Comix, has over 1,600 live listings and thousands of completed sales. That is where the books we buy end up, and it is why we can pay for the whole collection instead of just the keys.

Questions sellers ask
Selling comic books, answered
How much are my comic books worth?
It depends on the era, the titles, the condition and whether there are key issues (first appearances, origins, famous covers). Text us photos of the spines and a few covers and we will give you a straight number, usually within 24 hours. There is no charge for the evaluation and no obligation.
Do you buy newer comics from the 1990s to today?
Yes. Most big buyers only want books printed before 1980 and leave you with the rest. We buy the whole collection, including modern books, because we have our own outlet for them.
Do I need to sort, grade or list my comics first?
No. Do not pay to grade anything and do not spend a weekend making a spreadsheet. Photos of the boxes, the spines and any books you think are important are all we need to start.
Do you really come to me?
Yes. We drive to you anywhere in California, Nevada, Arizona and Oregon, and we will travel farther for a large collection. You never box up or ship anything.
How and when do I get paid?
On the spot, the day we pick up. Cash, Zelle or check, whichever you prefer. No consignment, no auction fees, no waiting weeks for a check in the mail.
Do you buy CGC and CBCS graded comics?
Yes, graded and raw, in any grade. Send a photo of the label and we will quote it.
I inherited a comic collection and know nothing about comics. Can you help?
That is most of the people we buy from. We walk you through what you have, show you how we arrived at the number, and handle everything from the first text to hauling the boxes out.
Do you buy single comics or only whole collections?
Both. One key issue, a short box, or a 50,000-book collection. If it is comics, we want to see it.
I already have an offer from another buyer. Will you beat it?
Send it to us. We will beat it, or we will tell you it is a fair offer and you should take it. Either way you win.
What else do you buy besides comic books?
Original comic art, graphic novels, comic magazines, trading cards and comic-related toys and statues, especially when they come with a collection. Tell us what you have.
