Dr. Cain's Comics - San Luis Obispo, California

Neat little store with a nice selection of comics and posters! We were looking for something that might interest our 12 & 10 yr old and we found Alien comics 1, 2 and 3 for our oldest and two X-men posters for our 10 yr olds room! 🙌🏽 They loved their gifts!

truly one of the best businesses ive ever come across. dudes super excited to talk about the books and give recs. also, REALLY honest about if a book is overpriced, overrated, or has a better edition/omnibus/printing whatever even if he loses out on a purchase. please go here and buy somethin we need more shops like this.

Great place for new comics and older issues. Very friendly customer service. Don't let the small size fool you. Picked up some great 90s Spider-man issues at a great price.

After shopping at all the local-ish comic stores, Dr. Cain's is the best by far. Amazing owner, great service. He helped me shop for my grandson so that I could get him as obsessed with comics as I have been. Worth the one hour drive!

Dr. Cain's comics is deeper, both figuratively and literally, than first glance would suggest. The stock is so well maintained that you really can't go wrong if you want to find some beautiful reads, even local artists' comics! The youth section was surprisingly filled with options that could challenge and open new worlds for a young reader.

The staff that helped struck the perfect balance of making the space welcoming, while allowing me to shop without pressure. Enticed by this treatment I asked for help and received some fantastic recommendations and even a suggested reading order. I spent more than expected here, the enthusiasm for well crafted comics vibrates through the air of this store.

I wish I had such a store local to me. I've stopped at comic shops all over America and this is a solid, no-nonsense, comic store that easily bypasses the common mistakes of many stores. Take a step inside and find yourself walking into whatever new world strikes your interest!

The owner, Patrick, has worked with me several times to help me get a comic rated and bricked and to help set up a demo for some of my favorite product. All of this for no direct benefit of his own. I will go nowhere else for my comic purchases.

If I can give more than five stars I would! My boyfriend and I instantly felt welcomed. I don't know who the name of the man that was working, but he was super friendly and had great customer service! They have a great selection, and would highly recommend supporting this small business.

This place was so cute! It was a bit snug, but they had a great selection of comics to choose from and had a couple of sales going, which led to my husband and I getting more than expected. The woman running the register was super sweet and friendly!

Would definitely come back to see what's new!
