One Stop Comics at 111 South Ridgeland Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois.

Walking into this store gives you the immediate overwhelming sensation "That's a lot of comics". The place is /packed/ with comics, manga, toys, and all sorts of stuff. It can certainly be overwhelming. Took me a while to get comfortable here, but I found the secret is to simply talk to the owner who is usually there, or one of his staff, if not. They are super approachable and excited to help you find anything, or talk to you about new comics to look into. Honestly, I am just rekindling my interest in comics, after having been away from them for so long. Most of what they say still goes right over my head. But I'm starting to get it.

They are closed on Tuesdays to restock for "new-release Wednesday." As I have come to learn, Wednesday is the day that all new comic books hit the shelves across the country. Head straight to the back to a brown shelf, and you'll see all the new comics for that week. On Tuesday, they get moved to the other shelves to join the other back issues. Useful if you want to get caught up on a series.

Again, this place is packed wall to wall with product. If you're looking for something old, best to show up at a down time, when the staff can assist you. They may even have the issues in their warehouse, so talking to them might actually be your only option. Unless you want to just get lost in the see of books. That's a whole lot of fun, too!
