Roy's Comics & Games

Roy's Comics & Games is a family-owned comic shop at 210 3rd St NW in Bemidji, Minnesota, open since 1992. It is a comics-first store that also carries Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon, along with novels, collectables and supplies. It suits readers who want a long-running local shop with deep back-issue stock, and collectors with a comics hoard to sell.

What's on the shelves

Comics are the core of the store. The back-issue stock is complete, and the store takes back-issue requests and special orders for anything it doesn't have on hand. A free pull list service holds new issues for regular readers.

Beyond comics, the shelves carry action figures and collectables, plus science fiction, fantasy and horror novels. Comic and card supplies are stocked for protecting what you buy.

Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon are the two card games on the shelves.

Selling your comics

The store buys comics. Sellers set up an appointment rather than walking in with a collection, which gives the store time to go through it properly.

Hours and getting there

The store is open every day of the week.

Roy's sits at 210 3rd St NW in Bemidji, in northern Minnesota.

History

Roy's Comics & Games opened in 1992 and has operated as a family-owned business ever since. It serves the Bemidji area and customers across northern Minnesota, which makes it one of the longer-running specialty shops in the region.

The local scene
