About Us

Alter Ego Comics was born out of my passion for comic books and Movie/TV collectibles. I've been reading comic books since I was 10, and I still read a big 'ol stack of new releases every Wednesday. I grew up in the greatest decade for film (the 1980s) and those films brought me hours and hours of enjoyment: Aliens, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Predator, Star Trek, Star Wars, Terminator - the list goes on and on.

The Alter Ego Comics website went live in 2003, and I opened a brick and mortar location in the Midwestern Ohio city of Lima in 2005. Many of our customers have been with us from the start, and they know that they can count on us to bring them the world's finest pop culture collectibles at fair prices and with top notch service. We've been doing this for a while, and we're here to stay.

When you order from Alter Ego Comics, you're ordering from a company staffed by fans like you, but with years of retail and customer service experience. Boxes are professionally packed, emails are returned promptly and you can even call us to place an order or ask a question. Read through some of our customer testimonials and see how fans just like you feel about us. After all, feeling is a big part of why we love this stuff and why we shop where we shop. We want you to feel comfortable with your purchase decision and with us.
