ABOUT US
Comics have been a positive part of my life for as long as I can remember. I picked up my first Transformers comic at a convenience store newsstand when I was nine. I was captured by the amazing art on the cover, then pulled in by the stories that brought a grand, imaginary world to life. I could not wait for the next issue to come out so I could keep reading. That was something for a kid who hated to read! Comics opened my eyes to a world of possibilities where there is no limit to what one can achieve.
My first job during high school was at my local comic book store that I shopped at weekly since discovering my love of comics. I have great memories of being surrounded by the art and stories lining the walls, being excited for each new release and making lifelong friends there. I met my wife of 20 years in that comic shop!
That love of comics continues today, but I haven’t been very happy with my recent comic-buying experiences. Disorganized racks of thumbed-through comics, sold out and marked-up comics on day of release and unhelpful salespeople have left me disappointed. Comics should be something magical that everyone can enjoy, and I feel there should be a better way to buy them. This led me to create The Bag ‘N’ Board, a premium service comic shop. Here I can offer you the personalized service and buying experience that comic book fans deserve.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your comic book buying experience. It is our pleasure to bring these great worlds and stories right to your door.
