Vallar comics

Vallar Comics is a comic shop at 29135 Euclid Avenue in Wickliffe, Ohio, that also carries Magic: The Gathering and other collectible card games. It is built around comic books first, with a card shelf and a handful of side categories, which suits a collector who wants one stop for comics, a few packs and some pop culture merchandise.

What's on the shelves

Comics are the core of the stock. New releases arrive alongside an extensive run of back issues, so the store works for both a weekly pull and a hunt for older titles.

On the card side, the store carries new packs and past releases of Magic: The Gathering, along with other popular collectible card games. The mention of past releases means older sets are available too, not just the current one.

Beyond comics and cards, the store sells:

• Comic merchandise and pop culture toys, statues and apparel
• Manga
• Board games
• Movies
• A kids corner

The store is still adding categories and expanding its range.

Hours and getting there

The shop is open Wednesday through Saturday and closed the other three days. The weekday hours are short and the Saturday window starts an hour earlier.

The address is 29135 Euclid Avenue, Wickliffe, OH 44092, on the Euclid Avenue corridor in northeast Ohio.
