what collectors say

Real words from real comic book fans.

"Opening my Matt Knows Comics box every month is like being a kid again. The curation is spot on - Matt clearly know his stuff. The last box had some absolute gems I never would have picked on my own."

- Alex C, New Box Subscriber

"The Collector's Box really is the most bang for you buck. I think the quality is great. All the comics were bagged and boarded like he said, I am going to be ordering some comic dividers with my next order. Matt has some great storage tips on his Resources page."

- Jamie L., New Box Subscriber

"I feel bad since I have never really spent any money at Matt Knows Comics, But the MKC Newsletter is outstanding! My 9 year old son loves superheroes so he gets a kick out of the comic history deep dives. Matt even gave us the option to mail us our Newsletter so my son gets his mail every month

-Liam, MKC Subscriber since 2025

frequently asked Questions

We specialize in comics from the Modern Age of Comics (1985 though 2000s). We have Marvel, DC, Independent, Malibu, mini series, maxi series, graphic novels. This is all my private stock of comics I collected and now curate. Great era of storytelling and art in comics.

What era of comics do you focus on?

Can I pick my genre or specific titles?

Absolutely! I want you to get what you want. Set your box preferences by title, character, or completely Random. With Random boxes, tell me a little about what you like, and I can surprise you. These are fun for me to pull those titles for you.

Are the comics in good condition?

I have never gotten any of my books graded, but I rate them as good to fair condition. I have been told that they would easily be rated as 8 or better by CGC. But I can't guarantee that. If it's in your preferences and I have it, I will send it. But will gladly send additional picks to make up for poor conditioned books.

Can I send a box as a gift?

Of course you can. The basic box works great for a one time gift giving option. But we also have gift boxes available. These are limited series, anywhere from 4 to 12 issues, and are priced accordingly. The gift boxes come with a Newsletter subscription, exclusive artwork, and a Matt Knows Comics T-shirt. The T-shirt usually ships separately from the comics.
