Wonderland Comics

Wonderland Comics is a comic and collectible store at 160 Main Street in Putnam, Connecticut, and the owners count it as the largest in eastern Connecticut. It is built around comics and graphic novels, with card games, tabletop games, miniatures and a long run of collectibles alongside. It suits regular pull-list readers, tabletop and miniatures players, and anyone shopping for a gift for a collector.

What's on the shelves

The shelves are organized by category, and the range is wide. Comics, graphic novels, manga and magazines sit next to card games, board and miniature games, RPGs and RPG miniatures, dice and prepainted minis. The collectibles side includes action figures, Funko Pops, model kits, prints and posters, novelties and apparel. Supplies are covered too: comic supplies, game supplies and hobby supplies. Gift certificates are available for anyone buying for a collector. The store also sells online.

Comic subscriptions and discounts

The subscriber program is the store's most developed policy, and the discount applies to more than comics. Customers must keep the required number of active subscriptions to hold their tier, and one-shot comics do not count toward it. There are three tiers, based on how many ongoing titles a customer holds.

The store can audit accounts and on-hold items to confirm subscription levels, and can reduce or remove a discount for anyone who falls short.

Wonderbucks and stacking

Subscribers are also part of Wonderbucks, a rewards program that gives a $5 credit toward the next purchase for every $100 spent. Not every purchase qualifies, and the credit cannot be transferred or redeemed for cash. Subscriber discounts do not stack with other sales and discounts unless stated otherwise.

Pickup rules

Subscribers are expected to collect their on-hold items at least once a month, or let staff know they cannot come in. An account that goes quiet without notice is suspended, and its held items go back on the sales floor. The store may also refuse to let customers who skip pickups on subscriptions or custom orders subscribe again. To set up an account, customers contact the store directly.
