About us

America's Leading Collectible Store

Carde Collect is recognized internationally as the USA’s premier comic book and pop culture specialty store. We retail the widest range of comic books, graphic novels, and collectible merchandise in the country. Established as a family-run business, we began with mail orders before the internet era, opening our first store in 1986. Our dedicated staff, some with us for many years, now include the next generation of family members, ensuring our legacy continues.

Pioneering Events

Carde Collect launched America’s first annual comic book convention, OzCon, which ran from 1992 to 1998.
