Will Eisner “Spirit of Comics” Retailer Award winner (Jul 13), named “Best Place to Buy Comics Minus the Comic Book Guy” (Chicago Reader, Jun 13), “Best Comic Book Shop” (New City, Nov 12), “Best Comics Shop” (Chicago Reader, Jun 10) and “Best New Comic Book Store” (Chicago Magazine, Aug 09), Challengers Comics + Conversation strives to prove that the best thing about being in a comic book store, is being in a comic book store. With a combined 50+ years of comic retail experience, owners Patrick Brower and W. Dal Bush endeavor to bring Chicago a full-service, technologically interactive comic store that has the same level of wonder and enjoyment as the comics they sell. And read. And talk about. And champion. And for the younger readers (and soon-to-be-readers), there is "Sidekicks" a place for young Challengers. Sidekicks is a dedicated space connected to Challengers with books and fun for all ages.
