Editorial Review for Jim Hanley's Universe – by Robert Hill

In Short
Despite its odd location, the store houses a huge selection of comics for just about everyone. Readers can find comprehensive collections of all the major superhero publishers, along with a thorough selection of imports, independents, undergounds, adult comics, art-house comics, graphic novels and historical anthologies. More importantly, the store is spacious, well-lit, open late, and everything is neatly alphabetized (a rarity in such stores) along white metal shelves.

Editorial content is independent of paid advertisers. Any expenses are paid for by Citysearch.

User Reviews for Jim Hanley's Universe

4 Star Rating: Recommended

I used to work a block away from the midtown comic store last year & I was sorta dissapointed when they told me they didn't have any Tin Tin Comics. Some of the staffs had no idea who Tin Tin was. Today, when my boyfriend & I were walking to MACY's, I noticed Sally from Nightmare before Christmas in one of the store's window. That's how we discovered Jim Hanley's Universe, Where Art and Literature Meet. They had more than 15 Tin Tin comics. I bought "cigars of pharaoh" & "the castafiore emerald". I know I'm going back to the store soon to buy more. It will be like walking down the memory lane with this new collection because growing up in Kathmandu, Tin Tin is quite famous. Did I mention TinTin actually visits Kathmandu(Nepal) in "TinTin in Tibet" ?

Pros: friendly staffs, variety of comics

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I love Jim Hanley's because they sell everything from comics to books, statues, toys, and t-shirts. And it's not just mainstream stuff, they carry merchandise from indies and small press. It's a fun place to browse through because I always see stuff there I don't see anywhere else. The staff is knowledgeable and pretty friendly. Wednesday is the best day to shop there as it's new comic day and they often have signings with writers and artists. Definitely recommended to comic fans and pop culture enthusiasts.

Pros: Great selection, Open late, Friendly staff

Cons: Crowded shelves
