Here's what some of our supporters have to say about Evil Squirrel Comics

Friendliest little comic book shop in Chicago. It's a little small, and hard to find, but the friendly owner and staff make up for it. They almost always have what we are looking for, and are always happy to make recommendations. They also do Free Comic Book Day a lot better than the other local places. This is also a good shop for anyone who is looking for gaming goods. They keep dice and such in stock, and have a lot of room for events such as gaming nights.

I've been a customer here for about 3 years, stopping in every month or so to pick up my subscriptions (if you subscribe, you get a discount off the cover price).  After two or so visits, the owners knew me and which comics I was looking for.  No one here has been anything but super friendly and helpful - no condescending comic book guys here.  If you want to stay and chat about Battlestar Galactica for half an hour, that's cool.  If you've never read comics and want to get some recommendations for something a friend or relative might like, Sean and Woody will help you out.
The store has limited space, but as I've said, you can subscribe to anything currently being published and pick it up when it gets in.  These guys are also really helpful with ordering things they don't have, even books that are way out-of-print and hard to find.  There are Magic tournaments seemingly every weekend for those who are interested.

Evil Squirrel is also amazingly involved with the community and other local businesses.  Recently, they've let customers know about the Glenwood farmer's market (Sundays), which I never would have known about otherwise.  They have also started a book club, and used the first month's selection of Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere", as a way to encourage people to go see the adaptation at the nearby Lifeline Theater.  Evil Squirrel is a great comic shop, but what makes me give it five stars is the way that its owners actively try to improve the neighborhood around them.

Admittedly, I'm not a huge comic collector...I have a couple from back in the day when I wanted to be like my older brother who was/is obsessed with comics. He had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so I had Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters. Hey, I tried! But recently a friend of mine gave me the first volume of Scapled and I became addicted! The storyline is great and the artwork is AMAZING. They just published volume 4 in June and I was foaming at the mouth to get it. I walked into Evil Squirrel on a quest to find it--happy that they were open at 9pm--and bumped into a bunch of guys playing...um, some game with cards but I couldn't tell which one. I asked the owner (?) for what I was looking for and guess what? Not only did they have it, but it was also on special sale! Apparently each day of the week a different publisher is on sale and Saturday was my lucky day!

Whoo hoooooo!!!  I'm a big fan!
