Reviews of Velvet Underground

Simone Star

Steven ( the owner ) Is a true God fearing Christian. He does honest business and looks up prices right with you. I've heard a lot about this store since it's been Iconic in Vegas for decades. All the hype is under rated. This store is a MUST SEE.. Steven, this review is done by SHERRIE ( not Simone ). I just used her account to review you. I'll be seeing you soon. Thank you, for being one of the few honest business people not chasing the all mighty dollar, at the expense of your customers.... But then again, that's why your still here while doors close every day from the others .... stay true to you...

He’s an old school shop owner. He’s has incredible books … if you are looking for something just ask. I was looking for older ASMs and could not find any in the marked boxes along the wall. I asked Mr.Riddler and he went behind the counter and gave me a box of ASMs to look through. He doesn’t keep good stuff out where people could handle and damage books since a lot of people don’t know how to handle books. He likes to tell people his opinion on comics which I enjoy but I guess it could feel like a lecture if you don’t know how to handle a strong personality.He’s been doing this for 40 + years so he has knowledge . I also like the fact that it’s an only cash business, no tax and usually a discount even on new books. Yes I’m not crazy about him looking up prices on regular back issues because it’s hard to go digging in box’s thinking you are going to find a jem for a cheap price but you can’t have everything. Overall I enjoy the store , the owner and everything that comes with it.

The Primary Comic Book store in Vegas! If you're looking for Comics, Manga, Collectibles, Toys or Pops. If Steve (the owner) doesn't have it odds are he can get it. If you are making your rounds for comics in Las Vegas this should be your 1st stop.

Jordan

An absolute must visit theres an impressive collection of comics including some great key issues & harder to find issues.The owner steven is a wonderful person who knows his comics and is a delight to talk to and deal with who would would be happy to help find something if your looking for something in particular.looking forward to the next visit.

JESSE JAMES CRISCIONE

This is one of the best comic book stores on the westcoast. As someone who has been to 1000+ stores this is the one place you MUST GO TO. This is a old school store, comics everywhere. Not all priced just laid out for you to look at and buy. Steve is a Icon and is always about customer service. He is always explaining how to collect. Like the best LCS owners opionated. I really enjoy my trip there. In fact so much i forgot to take pictures. This is a must stop and highly recommended.

Alejandro Munoz

Love this store. Huge selection of comics. This is a shop still from the 90s for sure. Heather is amazing to my son and me everytime we come in. This store will hunt down any comic for you!

Amaday Mata

Super awesome! I went in there as a beginner and not really knowing anything about comics and wanting to learn. The owner was super great he started from the basics and told me how they get the comics. And which companies produced what. I definitely know more now ! Would definitely recommend to anyone. They have such a huge variety! Even for kids :D

James Bacon

Old school Aladdin's cave! Really loved this shop. It's crammed for of comics and ephemera going back decades. New comics are neatly presented and there's boxes of back issues. Every nook and cranny has something in it. Met Steven and Heather, both lovely and such experts in the area of comics.

Edgar Chavez

Hands down, my favorite comic book shop in Vegas. Probably all of Nevada. I always walk out with great comics, collectibles and a smile on my face. If you're in the area, it's always worth a trip.

Doug Stillborn

Great place, the owner is one of the coolest people you'll meet. Great selection.

Francis Villareal

Steven Riddle is super friendly and great customer service! I am from California and found this Comic Book Store gem while visiting NV. Great experience, super prices and a must visit! A++

Lillith Kain

This is the only comic shop in Vegas that appreciates its customers. Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly staff. Owner is amazing, really knows his business and his patrons. Large inventory, good variety, fair prices. Homey atmosphere. Even the other customers are great. Always a fun shopping experience.

Mike Salsbery

Now this is a comic book store!! Best store in Vegas. I visited two other stores and was very unimpressed. Neither one greeted me, asked me a question, not anything. One store just 2 guys sat in back playing vids. Now this gem was hidden, I was unsure. But its amazing!!! The Riddler (owner) now this guy loves comics!! He knows all. Great guy, I was green and he helped me right away gave me quick tips, and encourage me to come back and learn more. This guy is a comic guru!!

Marco Clarke

Steven has a great selection of books and is very personable with his customers. I've seen him handle all of his new customers as if they were the only person in the room. He consistently has lower prices on his incentives and variant books.

Tiffini Eddy

The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and personally helped me explore his vast collection of comics and graphic novels. I absolutely loved my experience here! I felt like a kid in a candy store! Thank you!!!

Robert Morales

This is a great comic book store, huge selection of current and older titles. They have this cool area with customer boxes, so you pick your favorite comics and they are put in your box every month when new titles are released. Then whenever you're free you come in and pick up all your titles from your box. Pretty cool if your a collector but don't have time to get to the shop all the time. I'll definitely be coming back to pick up some comics.

Taeyha Milsten

This store is super great, fair prices, professional, he gave me a fist bump when I left super nice! He also kept my step dads number to call him when he gets a certain comic in!

Viet Huynh

Steven Riddle the owner has always been good to me for years and any of his regular customers. He's taken care of my pull box for the last two. I trust him to know all key issues as well and it's fun to talk shop with a old school gentleman who still checks in to see how I'm doing in my personal life as well as my hobbying one. For serious comic fans, he's your best source in town and I'll greatly miss Velvet Underground when I move away from Las Vegas.

Cecilio Virgen

Great comic book store. Has a wide variety of everything and the owner, Steve is a stand up gentlemen, that is very honest and has been in business for almost 30 years. He gives great prices to his customers. I will keep bringing my business here.

Alec A

Love this store. Steven, the owner, is super nice and loves what he does. That love and energy carries over to you as the customer and he genuinely wants you to have best comic collection possible.

Mike Klemish

I wish I could give this place six stars! This is easily the best comic book store I've ever been in. Incredible selection! The staff and owner were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely be going back for more.

William Davis

The best comic book store in Las Vegas and probably all of Nevada. The owner, Steve, is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to comics. He has been in the business for 25+ years and it is obvious that he loves comic books. He can tell you why a particular issue will be collectible. He can tell you about the artists and which comic series they have previously worked for. He educates those who wish to learn about the ordering process which helps customers like me to develop strategies for collecting a series or just individual issues. This store has back issues that no one else has, including CGC graded ones. It seems those who wish to sell prefer to come to him just like those who wish to buy. Last time I was there I bought quite a few comics and he gave me a discounted price (and trust me, these were issues that are not easy to find). I inadvertently left one of the issues behind after paying for them and Steve was kind enough to put it in my pull box for me with my name and the word "paid" on it so I could pick it up at my convenience. I have only been going to this store for a month or so but every time I have been there he offered me a really good deal or he just outright gave a comic to me, or a box, or bags. One of the best things I like about the store is that it does not allow customers to just paw over books and damage their condition. Some might find this inconvenient, but true comic book lovers and collectors appreciate this policy. Despite this policy, Steve is incredibly helpful. Some may complain that it takes a few extra minutes to get checked out, but when it is your turn to need assistance, you appreciate the lengths he goes to to get you what you want. I expect to be shopping at this store for a very long time to come.

Manuel Martinez

I've read some of the other reviews here, and they all have some valid points. I don't let their experiences sway mine, bad or good. The owner, Steven, is a very nice and helpful guy from my experience. It's a very big shop, but not quite organized and the lighting isn't great. I was able to find a good selection of recent Image Comics that I needed. I wanted to look through some back issues, but there is no way you could really find anything with the lack of organization. Steven tried to help me as he walked around the shop with me and was nice, but when I asked about certain back issue boxes he told me he had them, but even he couldn't tell where they would be. I tried buying four copies of a book I thought would be a good investment that I could sell for profits in a year or so, but he told me I could only get two. I don't want to bad mouth the store too much since he was a nice guy, but if the shop was better organized and better lit, it has great potential. It is hard to find in the back of a little strip mall in a questionable neighborhood, but there is certainly a lot of inventory.

David Rams

I've read through the rest of the reviews here and I agree with most of them. Steve is an odd character for sure. But that's what gives this shop all of its character. There is a record store playing in the back. A shop cat that hides in the back makes an appearance every once in a while. Lighting is dim and there are a few random plants throughout the shop. In other words, this shop is old school and quirky. This is not a place for people looking to do high-end business. This is not a place where the boss caters to you. Only cash is accepted, and the pull system is all organized into notebooks where you write your name down on a list. Steve takes his time. Just going in to buy what's in my pull box takes at least 15 minutes. But the service is fantastic. Like people say, Steve will give you free comics because he cares. He suggests new titles according to what you like and, like a stern grandfather, he will tell you what he thinks is in your best interest. But that's what makes this place fantastic. Be nice and patient, and it is more than worth it.

Robert Herrera

Great place to buy comics and collectibles

My name is Nate. I've been going to velvet underground comics for almost a year now. Steven Riddle is a good man, I understand some of these peolpe writing reviews have bad experiences with him, but if your just friendly you have nothing to worry about. They also have new issues for comics, and I got the end of amazing spiderman there, too. like I said, Steven is a great man, it was my 12 birthday and I came in and he gave me a free action figure and comic book. It's not really organized, but still nice. The outside is pretty strange, not gonna judge. but it's nice. Anyway it's nice Comic store and I totally recommend!

Sheena Karr

Cash only. Owner operator small business... My favorite kind of place to spend my money. I decided to stop in after talking with my daughter about how her daughter just hates learning to read. Thanks to a few comics, she can't wait to learn "all the words in the world". 😂

jordan caughey

This place is amazing. The staff was super helpful and friendly. If you are looking for back issues of anything i bet they have them. They also cut me a good deal. Looks like i found my new home for comics. Thank you guys for having an awesome store.

P T

The new location was popping on Free Comic Book Day! Super excited to still have a fantastic comic book store in the neighborhood. I had worried they all closed or moved. Steve will help you find whatever you are looking for. Thank you, Velvet Underground!

Chloe Jean

really great experience. the owner was very knowledgeable and prices are really great. he helped all of us with any questions we had and gave us all fist pumps when we left!! i will definitely be back

Joseph Browning

I have been going to Velvet Underground comics for 16yrs and rank it as the best comic and collectible shop in this town. The selection of Silver Age and Modern Age comics as well as statues and collectibles this store offers is incredible. The owner, Steven Riddle is one of the friendliest and knowledgeable business owners I know and always greets his customers or ask first time visitors if they need assistance. If comics and collectibles with great service are what you're looking for, pay Velvet Underground comics a visit.

Empirical “Momma” E

Man This Place Is Awesome... 30 yrs of history in this place!!! I myself loved walking around the store just admiring the different statues and comics. It was like a walk down memory lane. I am going to start taking my kids and open their minds to reading comics like my brother and I did as kids... 💯🦸‍♀️ …

Alan Torres

Steven is such a compassionate and understanding human, I was planning on buying a couple graphic novels only to find out they don’t take accept anything but cash. Steven (the owner) saw me putting everything away back to where it was displayed and felt really bad so he sold me everything for however much cash I did have in my wallet. I owe him one, though he says it was really no big deal but he’s the man and he’s definitely gained my girlfriend and I as new regular customers! He’s too kind to everyone and very proficient with what he sells. He’s the willy wonka of comics! Thanks Steven, I promise to show up prepared next time!

Erin Tellez

My husband has been coming to Velvet Underground for years. Steve is a wonderful guy. He has seen all of our kids grow up, become interested in comics themselves. He always has an extra minute to ask about the family, or engage with the kids. He carries a great numbers of comics and back issues, and frequently has artists there for signing events.

Timmy Tarquino

Excellent comic toy and collectible store highly recommend when u visit las vegas. Owner was very friendly and knows his comics . Me and my wife will be returning to velvet underground the next time we our in vegas !!!!!!

David Kendall

Great comics store; great selection and an extremely knowledgeable owner. If you're interested in comics, old or new, mainstream or indie, make sure you stop here. It's worth the trip.

Sam Nichols

This place was exactly what I wanted out of a comic shop. I cool look to the store. Home made signage and cash only makes it real classic. There place even has a guy who whos read since the golden age. I loved it there.

Coriander Crane

Cool setup, extremely amazing selection of back issues, and the younger staff were really friendly and helpful, but the owner was pushy and creepy. "Young lady, sweetheart, darling, honey, etc" and with the tone of voice you'd use with a small child. Cash only was the perfect excuse to flee!

Allysin Starling

This comic book shop is Awesome. I may live in Maine but I still get my comics from this store. He knows his stuff about the books and collectables he sells.

D

The owner Steven is a great guy.. very helpful, and very knowledgeable about everything he sells. Would highly recommend everyone check this place out if you're in the comics and collectibles.

D.F. von Rabenau
