Buying comics in Los Angeles

Who we buy from in Los Angeles

Short version: Samurai Comix is a comic book buyer that comes to Los Angeles, CA, looks at your comics in person, makes a cash offer based on recent sales, and buys the entire collection the same day. Text COMICS to (559) 326-8337 to start.

LA is full of comic shops and auction consignors, and almost all of them want only the slabbed keys. We buy the whole collection, including the raw books and the bulk, so you make one deal instead of five.

We cover the entire LA basin and beyond: Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Koreatown, Downtown, the Westside, Santa Monica, Culver City, Venice, Mar Vista, the South Bay, Long Beach, the San Fernando Valley from Burbank and Glendale to Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Van Nuys, Northridge, Chatsworth and Woodland Hills, Pasadena, Altadena and the San Gabriel Valley, Whittier, Downey, Norwalk, the Santa Clarita Valley, Palmdale and Lancaster, and on into Orange County and the Inland Empire. Traffic is our problem; we come to you.

Los Angeles has more comic collections than any city in the West: studio people, artists, lifelong collectors, and families clearing out a parent's garage in the Valley. We buy estates, downsizing collectors, storage units and shop inventory, from one CGC slab to a thousand long boxes, and we pay in one payment the day we load. If you have had a shop quote you for the keys only, send us the same photos and we will quote the whole collection.

Los Angeles is about three and a half hours from Fresno; we drive down for collections all over the LA basin. We serve Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Torrance, the San Fernando Valley and the San Gabriel Valley, and the rest of California.

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. We take all of it, sorted or not.

Key issues and graded comics

First appearances, 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

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.

We come to Los Angeles and pay on the spot

We confirm the books at your home, storage unit or shop, pay you, and load everything ourselves.

Before you sell

What your comics are worth in Los Angeles

Comic book values do not change by city, but the offers do: a Los Angeles shop prices for its own shelf, an auction house takes a cut of the keys and leaves you the rest, and a mail-in buyer makes you ship first. We price every book against recent sales and buy all of it in one visit. If you want to understand the number before you text us, read how much comic books are worth and how to sell a comic book collection, written by us, with no fluff.

Questions from Los Angeles sellers

Selling comic books in Los Angeles, answered

Do you really come to Los Angeles?

Yes. Los Angeles is about three and a half hours from Fresno; we drive down for collections all over the LA basin. You never box up or ship anything; we look at the books in person and pay you the same day.

How much are comic books worth in Los Angeles?

The same as anywhere: value depends on the era, the titles, the condition and whether there are key issues. Most of a collection's value is usually in a small number of books. Text us photos of the spines and a few covers and we will give you a straight number, usually within 24 hours. Our guide to how much comic books are worth explains how we price.

Do you buy newer comics, or only old ones?

Both. Most 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.

Who buys comic books near me in Los Angeles?

Samurai Comix does. We are a comic book buyer based in Fresno, California that travels to Los Angeles and the rest of California to buy collections in person. Local comic shops will usually buy your key issues; we buy the keys and everything else, in one visit, for cash.

I already have an offer from a comic shop in Los Angeles. 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.

What do I need to do before you come?

Nothing. Do not sort, grade, bag or list anything. Photos of the boxes and any books you think matter are all we need to make an offer. We bring the cash and do the lifting.
