Excellent comic book shop in the Charleston area. Had time to kill waiting for a flight and…read morehappened upon this spot. Nice selection of trade paperbacks and a decent selection of action figures (lots of vintage stuff) and tons of Pops. Also had a lot of back issues. Fairly large space as far as comic book shops go, so was really fun to explore. The real highlight was the gentleman at the register. Can't recall his name (he recommended a nearby convention hosted by the store that I checked out and was really cool), but he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful - let me know about an issue that came out that I hadn't been aware of based on my purchases. Great spot!

Upon arrival, I approached the business located in the first third if the strip mall. I entered through the single door located at the A-B corner of the business. The business had several, unknown males behind the counter, yet none acknowledged our entrance. I then rooted around in a few bargain bins and looked in the cases, scant feet away from the employees. No offers to show anything or answer questions. I continued to look at stagnant shelves of toys, set there but not displayed. No eye appeal. I attempted to locate some old issues of series that I enjoy, but was met with negative results. I tried to find a new series I wanted to try out, but found that, if it isn't mainstream, it ain't at Captain's. I continued to watch as the employees and a few clique customers chatted. I know I could have asked for help, had I needed it. It's nice to just be acknowledged occasionally. And this isn't my first visit. Or my tenth. Or my fiftieth. Rarely do they make anyone but "their" customers feel welcome. This is why I don't mind paying shipping for another comic shop to keep my books and send them to me. I know, too, that Captain's has been voted "Best Comic Shop in Charleston" or something similar. But when you are the ONLY shop, it isn't hard to be "best". And it would be different if I were face in the crowd kind of guy. I'm not. I have a distinct style that is rarely repeated. People who have not seen me in twenty years recognize me and speak. I'm not saying I want to be gushed over, but a "Welcome, if you need anything" to a guy that stops regularly would be nice. End of Report.

I wouldn't recommend buying or even going to this place- especially if you have a child who is still developing an immune system. They have a great selection of toys, a bit pricey though.

This is coming from someone who loved coming here as a kid. I'm sad to see what has happened.

We picked out a toy four our 1 year old niece and a couple more goodies for the grandbabies and I told him we had to check out before we broke the triple digit threshold- because that's easy to do. My daughter would have loved to have shopped here! Great gift buying.

If you need to diversify your toy collection and are tired of plastic and commercial (Disney…read moreprincesses) toys, I highly recommend this place. They have wooden puzzle boxes and other brainteasers, wooden puzzles that can be arranged in endless variations that even a 3yo can do (tessellations), magnet puzzles, and many more manufactured boxed puzzles and games for many different ages. I am a firm believer in play as education for toddlers so most toys are educational but these actually challenge the mind and my toddler feels proud of herself for completing these. The prices are reasonable and much of their stuff is made near Charleston. They also have a stand with games, puzzles, and puzzle boxes in the covered marketplace. Also, the lady that works in the store is helpful and nice. I don't know how she managed to serve all the customers/kids packed into the store without stressing out! The folks at the stand are pretty nice too as long as you keep the products on the table while you're trying them out. ;)
