Codex Comics & Collectibles

Codex Comics & Collectibles is a comic shop at 125 West High Street in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, with a gaming side that centers on Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon. The shelves lean toward comics, manga and collectibles, and the weekly calendar gives card players and tabletop gamers a regular place to sit down: Friday night Magic, Sunday Pokémon and a Wednesday evening Dungeons & Dragons session. It suits comic readers who also play, and players who want a store that is more than a card counter.

What's on the shelves

Comics are the foundation. The store carries new comics, older back issues, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, manga and anime, and the new release rack is filled every Wednesday with new titles and independent books. Comic book supplies sit alongside action figures, statues, t-shirts and posters.

On the gaming side, the store carries a range of board and card games, including Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Cookie Run and Dungeons & Dragons.

Weekly play

The Wednesday session shares its day with the new comic release, so the store runs late that night.

Events and special days

The Magic calendar adds draft events beyond the Friday routine. A Magic Presents: Reality Echoes draft runs on Saturday, October 24 at noon, and a Magic Presents: All Leylines' Eve draft runs on Friday, October 30 at 6 PM with a $15 entry. A Pokeween event joins the Pokémon calendar, and a casual Paint Day runs from noon to 2 PM on Sunday, November 1. Event plans are subject to change.

Free Comic Book Day is held on the first Saturday in May. On Halloween, Saturday, October 31, the store takes part in Ebensburg's Treat or Trick from 1 PM to 4 PM. The store also takes part in Sci-Fi Valley Con, set for June 11, 12 and 13, 2027.

Hours and getting there

The doors close at 8 PM on Friday, yet Friday Night Magic runs until 9 PM, an hour past closing time.
