So stop on by and grab yourself a comic or a collectible to prepare you for the awesomeness that will be Black Panther!
We here at Time Warp Comics have what we would like to consider a great selection of comics and collectibles. So we thought we would shed some light on our CGC graded and rare comics. Here are a just a few of our favorites. These and others are available for purchase at Time Warp Comics.

Showcase #22. Origin and 1st Appearance of Silver-Age Green Lantern Hal Jordan. 1st Appearance of Abin Sur, as well as Carol Ferris. (6.5 Restored Grade)
This is the coolest CGC graded book we have in the store (in the author’s opinion). Coming to us from 1959, this issue boasts the origin and first appearance of the Silver Age Green Lantern, Hal Jordan. Not only do we get the origin of Hal Jordan, but the first appearances of his passing mentor Abin Sur, as well as his future love interest Carol Ferris. So many first appearances in one book can mean only one thing… it isn’t going to be cheap. This book is priced at $3,500.
If you’re like us here at Time Warp Comics, you’ve been waiting with bated breath for the Avengers Infinity War trailer to finally appear. And appear it has.
The newly released trailer from Marvel and Disney has broken the record for most viewed movie trailer on the internet. This is no mere feat, and has fans anticipating the release of what can only be assumed to be one of the best comic book movies of our time. The trailer brought super nerd Kevin Smith to tears. And how could it not?
And like anything else on the internet, the Infinity War trailer has been remade using the 90’s era Marvel cartoons to re-create the already amazing Infinity War Trailer.

“Despite competing within a group of well-qualified candidates, Time Warp Comics in Boulder, Colorado walked away with Diamond’s fall Best Practices Award for best Graphic Novel section. Diamond was able to catch up with Wayne Winsett, owner of Time Warp Comics, to reflect on what makes a great graphic novel section.”
What makes your Graphic Novel Section unique compared to any other store’s?
Wayne: The cool thing about our graphic novel section is quantity and quality. We carry all publishers, and divide them on our shelves so people can find what they need quickly and easily. Of course we are always here to help guide to the right place, but we also have other sub categories, which are: All ages, Joss Whedon section, Award Winners, Recommended graphic novel, Vertigo , Art, Books About Comics, etc.
What, in your opinion, is the most important aspect of creating a good Graphic Novel section?
Keeping it organized alphabetically and making sure customers can find what they need easily. Neatness counts!
Do you take any tips from libraries or book stores?
No, we have been around so long, I think they take tips from us. One unique thing we’ve done here since the mid 1970’s is we give a 10% discount of graphic novels if they buy three or more. Most people will buy an extra to get that extra monetary incentive.
What’s your most popular graphic novel right now?
Black Hammer Vol. 1 is blowing out of here. Everyone here reads it, loves it and recommends it every single chance we get. In addition to selling tons of the regular monthly series, we’ve sold over 50 copies of the graphic novel so far !
What is the difference in marketing and selling graphic novels versus weeklies?
The graphic novels are overtaking monthly issues in a lot of cases nowadays. It seems like people are buying the first couple of monthly issues to see if they like them, and if so , they wait until the tp comes out and buy that . It makes it tough on our ordering, because people will move on to the next thing very quickly. The best part of graphic novels is that they have a beginning , middle and an end, and people like having a complete story they can put on their bookcase. No more looking in comic boxes is a plus.
If your staff had to agree on one graphic novel or graphic novel series to push for forever would you be able to? And if so what would it be?
This is easy. It’s all about Saga here. Ever since the series started, it have been our top seller, whether it is monthly issues or trades. We’ve sold thousands of the trades here, and they just keep selling and selling, with no end in sight. It’s almost a license to print money.”
In July of 2017, Time Warp Comics had the esteemed honor of being named one of the 25 Best Comic Book Stores in the United States by Travel and Leisure Magazine.
Travel and Leisure Magazine determined the ranking of stores by compiling the quantity and quality of Yelp reviews of each store in their respected states. As fate would have it, it appears that Time Warp has some decent reviews, thus placing us at #25 on this list. It would also appear that we were the only store from Colorado to make it onto this list, and we are humbled knowing that.
We here at Time Warp couldn’t be more proud and honored to have made this list. As always, we strive to bring you the best selection of comic books and collectibles, with grade “A” customer service.
