Comix Experience first opened April Fool's Day, 1989, and has built a lot of memories over that time. This page has some of the photos, files, and mementos from decades of comics retailing!

The above video was shot during our 21st anniversary party in 2010. Thank you to everyone who said such wonderful things about us.
We’re Honored!
This Certificate of Honor for our 30th anniversary was given to us by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, led by Supervisor Vallie Brown. This touched us so much!
![Certificate of Honor.jpg](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c6f8b33a041115fb6baf1d/1559600933535-DE355HQ0F5G5AIEJ5KMR/Certificate+of+Honor.jpg)
We've had a lot of great artists create window displays for us over the decades!
This and the following few things are click-through slideslows. There are scores of amazing pieces of art if you click the left and right arrows.
All of the window displays are in our big bay windows — they are roughly five feet wide, eight feet high, and roughly three feet deep, so this is a huge space to fill! (And, yet, a pretty cool Ambassador For Comics for a central San Francisco thoroughfare)
Seriously! Click through the gallery, it’s a decent use of your time if you like comics.

We've lovingly scanned our sole remaining copy (yes, you can even see the wrinkles and stains it has gotten over the years) for your joy and entertainment.
