This place is awesome. Very helpful staff. Able to assist with finding new material for myself and also age appropriate material for my teen daughter. Great selection and will order from their other stores for delivery for you if available. My new favorite addiction.

Went to Grahams today for the first time, had to pick up some comics that I ordered and I got to say the quality of the books were amazing, they looked near mint condition. This store has so many awesome items that I basically wanted to buy everything in sight. I will definitely returning soon, thx again to Tony for helping me out.

I came in here, got amazing service, some free knickknacks, and everyone in there was safe and wearing masks. 20/10.

One of my favorite shops, Tony and Kevin are incredible people and have always taken care of me and make sure Im happy. Conversational and funny, each visit is a wonderful memory and Im always happy to support them in any way I can. Large selection, make sure to look at everything! Im always finding a hidden gem

I found some manga here I could not find anywhere else. Im beyond thrilled

Really cool shop, exactly what I think of when someone says classic comic book shop. They have tons of really cool comics, and figurines.

Great place to find the books your looking for. Friendly and great atmosphere.

This is my go to for comics. The people who work here are awesome and insanely helpful, able to help me find exactly what I want and even introduce me to new reads they’re certain I’ll like. It’s always fun to be there, Graham Crackers of DeKalb are the reason I don’t just order books online and call it a day.

Just starting at Northern. This place is SWEEEEET. Two floors, so many comics and toys. The staff was insanely helpful. Theyre looking for manga for me!

Great for comics, small selection of magic cards, sealed products are often loose, and usually don’t contain any value, leading me to believe they were resealed, but comics or singles only.

I LOVE this store! Great selection and very nice staff.

The LACK of marshmallows and chocolate, and an open flame, was EXTREMELY disappointing. I expect way more from a graham cracker store. Maybe if you didnt have so many comics everywhere, you wouldnt be afraid of putting a propane-tank fire-pit in the middle of the store?!?! The store is two stories, so you even have an upper floor to put the fire-pit on because, DUH, smoke rises! Its like you chose this location specifically knowing you needed higher ground for the fire pit and STILL DIDNT PUT ONE IN! WILL NOT shop at this location for SMORES related items.The comic/toy/statue/poster/t-shirt selection was AWESOME, as was the staff. Theyll even special order stuff they dont have, or grab it from one of their other stores which arrives even quicker than ordering from the publisher! If they wanted to be a COMIC store, theyd be doing a great job! BUT as a Smore store, not so much.

Absolutely love Graham Crackers DeKalb! Kevin and Tony know their stuff. I would highly recommend for anyone even remotely interested in comics to go in and get a suggestion. You won’t regret it!

The dudes there are really friendly and go out their way to help customers.

Always a great place to find anything your looking for with great friendly service

Great staff Great comics. Go get some.

Recently moved to the area and its amazing to have a nearby comic store. They have such a wide variety and I always feel very welcome here, highly recommend this location if youre into anything nerdy!

Love the staff, love the selection and love the prices.

I love this comic book store. Its a big store. Great employees and great variety stuff they got there. The employees help alot with the customers. They are nice people. I like all the stuff they got there. I like to look around and buy stuff. They are friends and like family to us

Excellent help, great place for your hobby

Real friendly clerk asked me if I found everything I wanted and put in a search for a few of the other comics Im looking for that they didnt have on hand, andset me up in their system for special orders. Thinking Ill cancel my subscriptions thru the website and get my orders thru them and put money back into a local business

The staff at this store are incredibly helpful and just pleasant to be around. They always offer good advice and are knowledgeable about the products!

Im biased, but Google asked me for a review so here we are.

Fabulous. Stop here every time I visit DeKalb.

Really great group of people! They introduced me to the comic book scene and really made me feel comfortable. They have given me great recommendations of other titles I might like, are great at communicating, and have helped me with all of my questions. Support them if you can!

Ive collected comic books for a long time . This was my first time at a Graham Crackers location. The layout of the store is perfect. They have an excellent selection of Silver Age Comics. Tony is a great guy. I will be back soon 👍

The staff here are both extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I have only had good experiences here.

The best staff always helpful.

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff!

They have a great selection from pretty much anything you can think of. Comic books, trading cards, action figures, you name it! I was looking for individual Pokémon cards from the Wizards of the Coast era and though they didn’t have that specifically, Tony was very friendly and a huge help in getting me in touch with other Graham Crackers Comics stores that do. It was my first visit here and I could not recommend highly enough! Will bring along my buddy who loves comics next time I’m in town. Thank you!!

The assistant manager at this store is an incredible guy, truly. I got upset over a human error and made a big fuss and he sat and talked with me and hashed it out when I got into the store today.He handled my high stress personality well, and even though I may have cause a big fuss he just wanted to make things right with me. It’s hard to get good genuine customer service.I have my stand and will post a picture of my new collectibles on the Facebook page later

Awesome comic shop with a huge selection. I picked up comic sleeves and backer boards and both of the guys there were very knowledgeable.

I’ve always loved going to this comic store for many reasons, but the biggest reason is how informative the workers are. I’ve been to multiple comic book stores, who I don’t feel naming,(for I do not want to discredit them or cause loss of customers,) and this is certainly the favorite chain of stores. The workers there are incredibly nice and personable. For example, I’ve spent much time after my purchase having discussions with the workers, including the manager. I can tell they take their jobs seriously and want to do the most they can for their customers.100% believe if you love comics to come and check this store out!

Friendly staff and lots of fun stuff for sale.

Great and friendly staff. If you dont know much about comics you can ask and they are happy to help. Tons of selection

Ive been shopping at this comic shop for over a decade now. I cant imagine my life without it.As a general fan, it is the coolest place to walk around and gawk. But as a collector, Kevin and Tony are my first resource when Im looking for something.

Outstanding! The manager there, Kevin Healy, was a big help to me personally today. All the Graham Crackers stores are fantastic, well organized and their staff is always knowledgeable. Ive shopped with them for many years and have always been happy with their service. Thanks guys!

Best comic store I have ever been to, great service, cheap comics, and wide selection.

Best place to go to if youre looking for different variant covers. And when you need to find something. Im not sure what his name is but he has a big beard and I think piercings. Very nice guy and helpful.

Great selection of books and back issues. Friendly staff.I Will no longer be shopping here as they are forcing a mask mandate on all people regardless of the vaccination status.I recommend everyobe stop shopping here and go to purchase their Comics & books online from other stores instead. Stores who arent trying to enforce nonsensical mask policies.

Ive only just started going to this store recently. Kevin and Tony are great guys whove been nothing but nice and helpful and are always down to have a friendly conversation.

Awesome place we found the other day! Looking for Funko Pop figures, bookmarks, and Marvel stuff. Great selection. The guys really helped us out and let us know other things we might be interested in as well! We will definitely be going back soon!

The perfect store to begin your journey in the world of comics! Started over two years ago and never looked back!

This is hands down the best comic shop around. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The layout of the store is very easy to navigate. The decor screams fun. I mean they have everything youre looking for and even if its not there at the moment, they have 10 other locations and they can just phone it in. I make an hour trip every other week to pick up the comics they pull for me so I dont miss any of my favorites. I would recommend this place to anyone, new or old. In fact I have and will continue to do so.

The best. The most friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff around. Always a great experience when we go to Graham Crackers comics.

The employee that took care of me was so nice and helpful! He even apologized for not having tape to close up my comic book sleeve! Overall amazing service and they had a lot of selections to choose from! A++++

Always great to stop in at my favorite comic store. Ive been getting comics here for years after trying other stores around the area that werent as fun. Kevin and Tony are really great guys that are always happy to see you and make you feel at home. They can always help me find a book I may be looking for and help me find new books that I may like. The Dekalb Graham Crackers is the best comic shop around!

This place is as close to a family as a business can be to me. I have been a loyal customer to the DeKalb Graham Cracker comics since 2003. I love this specific shop so much that I drive 1 hour semi monthly still to get my comics here even though I have a shop down the street. I cannot say enough positive things about the staff at this location. The manager Kevin is perhaps the nicest person ever to work at a comic store. He gets invested in his customers and always says hi to my son when he see us at conventions.My last time in the shop there were two new employees Kevin hired and they could not have been more kind to my wife and son. The gentlemen helped my wife find comic books on the character Raven and my son find a Power Rangers book.Ive been coming to this shop for 14 years now and I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a comic shop that cares about their interests and are always happy to see you.Thank you Kevin, you guys are the best

The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. When I have questions or look for new toys or comics I will visit their store because I know they will help me find what I need. Kevin and his team went above and beyond.

Everyone who works there is super nice and helpful. If you have any questions or need to find a particular book, they are more than happy to help you out. The layout is amazing too as youll only find back issues in long boxes, whereas the newer books are all alphabetical order on the shelves and easy to find. Best comic shop Ive been to without a doubt!

I absolutely love the DeKalb store! I have been buying graphic novels there for years for both myself and the library I work at. Kevin & Tony are very knowledgeable and I have built up the graphic novel selection at Ella Johnson Library because of them.

I’ve been shopping at Graham cracker locations for as long as I can remember. The DeKalb location has to be the best in the business. I normally see Kevin and Tony when I’m on sight and they’re always willing to help or just talk past or present events in all comic series I read. Being a college student, I’m a little slow with getting my books due to money, but both are patient and always willing to help and hold books for me! It’s helped me keep in touch with all of Captain America’s current events! So this is a thank you to Graham crackers best location!

I went here with my son and we had a lot of fun looking at everything. The store is located on campus with two floors of things to look at. All kinds of super hero stuff from clothes, comics and collectible statues, etc. The staff was amazing and very knowledgeable about the comics. It was a joy to see my son on Spiderman overload and to see him want to do well in school, because Graham matches every good grade with a dollar amount towards store credit!

Super nice folks. Plenty of mtg and more!

Awesome store found everything we were looking for

Awesome Store and Staff!

I have a comic book store that is 5 minutes away from me and its a nice store but its not Graham Crackers Comics of Dekalb. I drive about an hour away for the atmosphere of that place. The workers are great, funny, and know what theyre talking about which is a big help. Nothing compares to the experience and I always look forward to the trip!

This place is big. Two floors of current, back-issue, and collected volumes, plus toys etc. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable. It was like the guy at the counter kept track of where/how many of everything there was. My new favorite comic shop.

Great selection of both comics AND tabletop games. Super friendly and helpful staff. Not your stereotypical off-putting comic book store experience! Great store. Their recent store expansion (two floors!) is wonderful. Lots of space and room for cool stuff.

Always helpful! If they dont have it, they will find it! So much cool stuff, so much knowledge! Great crew working there!

Outstanding selection of comics, toys, games, etc. This blows my local comic shop out of the water. The staff were helpful and hilarious. 10/10 would recommend.

I thought this place was so cool! I love checking out Comic shops, and this was the first time I got to see one that was two floors! Top floor is where comics and collectibles are, the stairwell down in posters and shirts, and the downstairs area is for games and gaming. I look forward to coming back when Im in town to catch a game!

Everyone at Graham Crackers is so friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I buy all my comics from them along with a few pops here and there. If you need comics or have questions about a certain comic they will be more than happy to assist you. I cant thank Kevin Healy enough for all he does for me and my newly rediscovered comic addiction. Thanks again for all you do for your loyal customers!

A little less roomy than most places on Earth but they have quite the range of stock. The employees certainly know their stuff as well.

I loved the atmosphere and highly encourage a visit. The sales clerk was friendly, helpful and courteous. They offered good suggestions and accommodated my family (with a 4 year old) during my visit. The store is clean and very organized. The back issues were easily found and well organized. The clerk was quick to show me the silver age collection on demand, and didnt hawk around me as I looked. Very good prices and I would even recommend a road trip for a visit.

This was my comic shop when I was in college at NIU. I visited for the first time in 15 years. The store had expanded to twice its previous size. In everyway it is now my ideal comic shop...with one exception. The markup on collectibles and toys is higher than actual market value. I am always willing to pay a little more at a comic shop than what I can pay online. I like to think of it as a way to support the actual space of a comic shop for kids to experience as I did. However, the mark up here was high enough for me to not buy. The price on the trades was in line with the market.

What a great way to relive your childhood. And the people who work there are awesome to talk to.

Graham Cracker comics brings a small town atmosphere in a bustling college town. Every time I walk in, I am greeted with a smile by somebody who knows my name. Often I walk in, and staff has pulled aside a book that they thought I would like, with no pressure to buy it or say no thanks. This place was my happy place at my time at NIU, and I still make a point to drive an hour once a week for my comics.

Extremely nice staff and will do as much as they can to help find what your looking for or if your satisfied with what they have I’ve never had a problem with this store if you like comics collectibles or cards this is the place to go

These guys make everything easy. They either have it, or try to get it. Couldnt ask for better help. Tony is my regular guy on Mondays, but hes been known to get an assist from Kevin.

I went in 6 months ago looking for a specific, not very popular comic I found thrifting to see of they had any more, and unfortunately at the time they didnt. But they took my information down and said they would try and find some for me. Sure enough, they did! They called me today and said they found 5 issues! They are so friendly, kind, and go above and beyond. Wonderful experience all around!

Great place for gaming and comic books alike. The people there are helpful and knowledgeable. If they dont have something you are looking for they make an effort to find it for you. Overall a pretty enjoyable place to be.

Excellent service with a polite and kind staff affordable prices and great merchandise . I recommend this place for everyone.

A lot of Awesome things

Friendly knowledgeable staff. great selection of comics, graphic novels, MTG products, collectables (including a TON of pop! Figures, best selection in DeKalb), gaming products and more. Love that they re trying to build a community for everyone, not just NIU.

Ive been to Graham Cracker Comics a few times. Im not super into comics, but theyre an interesting and fun distraction from my other pursuits. The employees at Graham Cracker Comics are extremely helpful in suggesting new books, as well as figuring out what Im looking for from my vague descriptions. Theyre also very friendly. I always feel welcome. If youre looking for comics, this is the place.

Always entertaining. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Everyone was helpful prices were great I bought more then planed

Very helpful and polite staff. Huge collection of comics and games. Helped me locate kid friendly comics for my fifth grade students. I will definitely be back!!

Great selection of pops, comics, games, cards, and collectables! Great atmosphere. Great staff. All around favorite comic shop!11/10!

Great place to find a comic book or explore your nerdiness. I have been coming to this location since my freshmen year at Northern, and its heart wretching to realize that this location will no longer be a 5 minute walk or a 10 minute drive from me. Ive been to other locations; however, the DeKalb location has become my home. The staff here, especially Tony, is always willing to lend a helping hand. I truly will miss this location as I return home. (Theres is a high possibility that I will make the hour drive to this location even when Im gone).

One of my favorite comic book shops! Friendly staff, lots of back issue stock, great sales and clearance products!

Fair prices and attentive customer service

You want comics? Back issues? Trade paperbacks? T-shirts? Action figures and collectibles? A huge assortment of board games and RPGs? Top that all off with a phenomenal, friendly crew that knows their merchandise and the associated lore behind it inside out and youve got the greatest comics shop in the county. Man, I cant hardly begin to list everything there, but if you want it youre likely to find it there. If you cant, theyll find it for you. You a regular comics reader? Stop by, set up a pull list, or better still a free membership, and your favorite titles will be waiting for you every Wednesday. Graham Crackers is the ONLY comics shop youll ever need. Trust me. Theres a reason weve been loyal members for lo these many years. What are you waiting for? - Clan Whelan

The are wonderful!!!!! So very very helpful! They didn’t mind taking a lot of time helping me find exactly what I needed. Great atmosphere!!!! I highly recommend Goinghere!!!!

Great place for all things comics. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dont be afraid to pick their brains, Ive always found them to be very helpful.

I love coming to the Freeport location. Great Staff, Great books and comics, and great atmosphere. I wouldnt go anywhere else for comics!

Always friendly

Great shop with super friendly staff, the guys there are always willing to help you and have the nerd knowledge to answer anything from comics to TCG games.

The ppl are friendly and knowledgeable bout everything in the store. And go out of their way to make sure you leave as a happy customer.. Wish it was my job... Thanks everyone...

By far my favorite place to get comics and graphic novels. They are very personable and know my name every time I come in. I drive 40 minutes just to come here and get my comics.

A great selection of comics and related collectables. We were there for MtG. Again a good selection of cards and a nice area to play

Awesome store. Awesome service. These folks know their stuff and can get it for you too!

Nice eco friendly staff. Great place!

Been a customer in DeKalb since it opened. Comics expert Kevin and current manager Tony are the best! Shop here and you will never be disappointed.

Really great shop would definitely visit againCounter associate was super helpful and engaging

Amazing employees they really know their stuff and hold my comics there for me even if i cant make it tothe store for a while.

The store has a great selection and the staff was very helpful and friendly

Great prices and a large selection.

Very nice people and fun to just look around!
