GRADING
Grade Abbreviation Overstreet Guide
Mint MT M

The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, published annually, is widely considered the primary authority on the subject of American comic book grading and pricing.

We use Overstreet Price Guide grading criteria and descriptive grades (e.g. Fair, Good, Very Good, Fine, Very Fine, Near Mint) to indicate the condition and consequent value of a comic book.

A copy that falls between grades may be noted with a + or a - symbol; between grades can also be noted with a / as in "GD/VG".

Our principal grader has been collecting comics since 1958, and professionally grading them since the early 1970s.
Near Mint NM
Very Fine VF
Fine FN
Very Good VG
Good GD or G
Fair FR or F
Poor PR or P

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

Who We Are
Escapist Comics is a genuine brick and mortar bookstore and may well be the one of the best  comic stores to find unique graphic novels or indie books. We opened in March 2011 and hired staff of the legendary comics' retailer Comic Relief.
Our staff has decades of collective experience.
We have so much more great stuff at the store why not come by? We're open 7 days a week! Also don't forget about our sister store Dark Carnival, SciFi/Fantasy/Horror Bookstore, they carry all genre needs as well! 510-654-7323 or you can always give us a call too at 510-65-COMIC(510-652-6642) or Just hit

SHIPPING

Shipping:

  • We offer FREE shipping for most purchases over $20 unless you make other arrangements. Many other options are available; we will try to find the best one for you.
  • Are you in California? Why pay shipping at all? Come on over. All our eBay items are available in the store, plus tens of thousands more.
  • You will love The Escapist.

International Customers:

  • We will work to find solutions to the daunting expense of international shipping.
  • For example, a recent customer from Australia asked us to fold up a poster and mail it to her in an envelope, rather than the usual mailing tube, which can be very expensive; she saved about 90% of the shipping cost.
  • On the other hand, you may want us to spare no expense protecting your collectibles, let us know what works best for you.

Best Offers:

  • We may be open to negotiation on prices on some items. However, many of the items we list are on consignment, which limits our ability to make deals in those cases.

FEEDBACK

As soon as you pay we will automatically leave you positive feed back!
We would also like positive feedback, so if everything is not to your satisfaction please let us know how we can make things better! Thanks!
