According to Kendall Swafford, owner and operator of Up Up and Away Comics, the character Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons isn't just a stereotype. It's the truth. "Everyone who's ever bought a comic knows a clerk like that; someone rude, cocky, and unwilling to help." That is precisely what makes his store unique.
"I know it sounds like a cliché," Swafford said. "But our service really makes us stand out." We at BuyCincy have tested his theory, and found that he's right! The clerk who helped me was friendly, knowledgable, and didn't laugh when I asked for a comic book version of Jane Eyre.
In addition to the amiable service, Up Up and Away boasts a wide selection of comics (back issues included), graphic novels and gaming supplies. While you're there be sure to check out the only life-size Princess Leia statue in the city!
Perfect For: Fans of Comics, Gaming, and oh of course Star Wars!
