As an old (as in 70’s and 80’s, rather than my current age) comic book collector, this place cries out for my almighty dollar, and whispers quietly to the naive, little boy that dreamt of saving the world one day. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. Support your local businesses, friends. Grok can give a better review than I can: Grok says this: Bub’s Comics and Cards is a beloved local comic book and collectibles shop in Gilroy, California, located at 7483 Monterey Road.

BuB's is a gem. Not only is it one of my favorite sources for comic books, but it is also an all-around great shop with a wide range of collectibles. I live on the coast, but I try to hit them up whenever I am around. I have only experienced excellent customer service there. If they don't have what I am initially looking for, I still don't leave empty-handed. I always find something either overlooked or that I suddenly want to add to my personal inventory. I highly recommend that any collector, hobbyist, or gift seeker stop by and check out BuB's.
Really cool comic book store in downtown Gilroy. Lots of options for your reading pleasure. New books line the walls and older books staged in-between. You'll also find a variety of cards, collectibles and action figures sprinkled in and around the the store, so keep your eyes peeled for that must have unique treasure.
