I have been to two comic book places in Wichita and this one is the best. The times that I have been in there I have been welcomed by "hellos" and "Is there something I can help you find?" The staff is friendly and ready to help you find what you need. Occasionally you will meet the owner, Mark. He seems to try to learn all the regular customers names. The store offers customers a pull list allowing a person to reserve a copy for themselves. In doing so, the customer gets a 10% off their purchase. Of the cons, they do have a large number of customers and it makes it hard when you ask them to look for a comic in their storage. I had to buy a series through eBay because it took to long to get back to me on their progress. read more

Tried going into this store after years of absence and it's the same old thing. Customer service? What customer service? I go in and everyone vanishes quickly. Nobody greets me, asks if I need anything, nothing. I did notice someone hiding behind stuff making sure I wasn't stealing anything. Best comic store in kansas? Umm...I would hate to see the worst. read more

I took my grandson to look at comic books. The salesperson said that he would have to adjust the prices on each comic book to get the latest fair price. WTH. To make us wait to make sure you get the most out of each book is wrong. If you want to update your prices that is fine. But pull those books out so you can update prices behind closed doors then put them back out. To sit there and double the price while we stand there is wrong. If I went to buy a new car and they wanted more than the sticker price it would be considered unlawful. In my opinion you are doing the same thing. I believe that if you have a price on an item to sell, then that should be the price you are willing to accept for that item. Anything else is misleading. read more

So much selection! Plenty of hidden gems to dig for in their back issue stock. New comics every week! Love the staff - definitely a Wichita staple! read more

Prairie Dog Comics - 1st appearance of Spider-Man - Comic Books Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

The staff is very polite and knowledgeable. The store is clean. I collect silver and bronze age comics. They have quite a lot of back issues to order. I will always go to this store first before anywhere else. Great Job! read more

I moved to Wichita in 2016 and this was the first place I visited on my search for a comic store. Though some of the staff has changed, it is probably one of the better comic stores I have encountered in my travels across the States. The back selection is great and if you do not see what you are looking for, merely ask. Mark (the owner) has thousands of titles stored off site, so again, ask. I have come to know John and Adam over the years and they are nothing short of AWESOME!!!!!! They are beyond helpful and always make my visits hilarious and filled with new info on my favorite stuff. I highly recommend Prairie Dog Comics if you are just starting out, or a seasoned comic veteran. You will not be let down!! Nuff said! read more

Not a terrible comic shop, and the staff is friendly. however, the organization is poor and most of the store is packed full of tables for playing M:TG and long box after long box of back issues that no one ever seems to buy. Although the staff is friendly if you engage them, in the 50 or so times I've been in the store I have never once been asked "can I help you?" or "is there something in particular you're looking for?" they mostly stay behind the counter in their own little world. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect a comic book shop to look like... in the 90s. Florescent lighting, old dirty carpet, dingy DAV style shelving, dusty displays with hand written signage, and the distinct scent of BO. All in all, it's an ugly store with a friendly but unhelpful staff, all the trappings of the comic book store stereotypes, and an average selection of products. If you know what you're looking for and are OK with the rundown vibe, this is a serviceable place to go. If you're looking for a modern comic book shop, you'll be severely disappointed. read more

The staff is nice and helpful, and they have a good selection. Pretty well organized. It's easy to order and reserve comics. Some decent action figures and collectibles. read more

This comic store is the best in Kansas. The staff is actually knowledgeable, friendly, and it looks like they keep up with the store. I've traveled all across America from Mile High in Colorado to Lone Star in Texas and this one is one of the most well kept and categorized stores out there. You can tell that they focus on the comic portion of the business, but leave ample space for the other components of geek-hood (Magic, D&D, etc.). I was incredibly happy with this stores focus, customer service, and selection. I love that they keep issues from 2-3 months back (or longer) on the shelf in case you've missed something or want to start a new title but may have missed the jumping on point. Awesome job guys, keep it up. read more

I recently started collecting comics, well a specific series. I called and asked and they said, 'If we had it, it would be in our warehouse.'. No big deal. I left my name and number and they said they would call. A week goes by and nothing so I call back get the same thing. Another week still nothing. You would think in this economy they would be eager to help customers buy...obviously they don't need customers that bad. I took my business to another shop. read more

Pretty decent place, its atleast a 30 minute drive from my house but they give a good price for trade ins and there stock is big enough I can usually find something. They also have a decent selection of magic and yugioh cards but not a lot of tabletop stuff even though they advertise it. Otherwise a great place to pick up new or old comics, or to sell stuff you don't read anymore. Staff is friendly and if you call ahead for something they answer the phone pretty fast. read more

While this is an amazing place to peruse and buy both old and new comics, its other offerings are not worth the trip. Sure, I get it, it's a comic book store, they sell comic books, everything else is secondary. That would be fine, except that they also advertise themselves as being a store for role-playing and table-top games. This is why I went to Prairie Dog Comics. But when I got there, I was utterly disappointed. They have a small selection of Steve Jackson games, a few Risk sets, and a couple other obvious choices that are sold, for less money, at any Barnes & Noble. As far as Dungeons and Dragons goes, and this was my real pursuit, they have almost nothing. They've got the three core books for 4th edition and that is it. No 3rd edition, no 2nd edition, and none of the extra materials. Shit, they didn't even sell dice. What kind of place posts a sign boasting of housing D&D encounters and then doesn't sell a damn thing a serious D&D'er would be interested in? When I asked about 2nd edition stuff, I was told that they might have some in "the warehouse." Riiight... I'll go ahead and hold my breath. Considering the ample amount of empty space in the storefront, I'm guessing this warehouse is as fantastical as the comic books they sell. Oh well. I won't be back, but that's mostly because I don't read comics. If you do, you should find a pretty good selection here, although I can't weigh in on the prices. read more
