We have purchased several comics here and the people are all very nice, patient, and helpful! The store is clean with wide isles too.

So great to see a unique comic store like this in our community. The owners are amazing and really seek to help others discover comics that they'd like. Super personable and welcoming. Unique art and other items too. Really cool place and we look forward to be back regularly.

Best experience ever! Not only is the layout of the store amazing and extensive, but the lovely couple that own it are a gem in and of themselves. I was visiting from Miami and was told by multiple people to come here and man were they right. The most well kept, impressive collection of comics, funko pops, books, and action figures I have ever seen. Everyone was extremely nice and knowledgeable and the prices are very fair, especially considering they have more limited edition items than most. Worth the drive and I can’t wait to come back!

Stopped in the other day for some bags and boards for some new comics. This place has everything. Thousands of new and older comics. Hundreds of certified comics at some pretty reasonable prices. Collector pieces, original art work, signed items, Overstreet price guides. All the new issues tons of old issues. The staff was extremely helpful and very nice. Gonna go back with some stuff to trade for store credit to acquire some certified books. Really a cool place to spend a few hours looking around.

Best comic shop in Knoxville area by far. Incredibly helpful and kind people with a massive catalog. I live 45 minutes away and still go out of my way to stop at this shop.

I’ve been coming here for years as an out of towner. It’s a must visit on every trip. In all the comic stores I’ve visited across the US I truly believe this to be the very best. Amazing staff, outstanding selection, gorgeous store. Well worth the 11 hour drive.

Fun place to explore. Comic books, graphic novels, D&D, Funky Pops, and board games. Please chaperone your children, though, as there are some comics that are inappropriate (IMHO). I picked up one that contained nudity and explicit scenes. Discretion advised.

HUGE selection of older comics, graded comics, new comics, POP figures, and toys. Very unique layout with this building, but part of what makes it cool.

Best Show In Knoxville. Also has a great online subscription service where you can select specific issues ahead of time and variant covers.

As an avid comic collector, this store is a goldmine, with a collection vast enough to satisfy any comic niche you may be into. Not to mention, the staff is always super friendly and helpful! Even if you may not see what you’re interested in finding, it will never hurt to ask.

A treasure trove of neat and nostalgic Marvel/DC/All the above memorabilia! Good reads and hidden gems!

My 11 year old daughter loves this place! They are always very helpful and kind. Addi has some sensory issues and LOVES Anime, funko pops, and superheros. She now wants to create comics when she grows up. The owners are so sweet to my Addi. She loves to ask questions, and they are always happy to answer them for her. Thank you, Golden Age. You are the best! - Addi

I stopped in for the first time and was blown away but the massive selection and friendly staff. The owner was kind enough to show me around and I can't thank her enough for that. I highly reccomend this world class comic store. They have something for everyone!

Went for the first time yesterday. Let me say that the level of professionalism was outstanding! The staff was incredibly friendly, and very helpful. They sought me out to see if I needed help with anything. The store was very clean and very organized. The sheer amount of back issues they have is incredible. Overall, I was very impressed with this comic book shop and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. If you are out of the area, it is certainly worth the drive.

We almost missed this little gem driving through to Gatlinburg. They have a huge selection of comic books! And they host youth D&D games. I think my favorite part was listening to the D&D DM teach and set the scenes for his game. The owner was very friendly and helpful too.

I've been coming to this Shop for 3 years now and I'm always impressed with the inventory every time. Toy's, Funko POPS, Comics & Cards. They got everything under the sun and then some. Stop in and say Hello to David & his Wife, or John. These people are down to earth as they can be. Very loving, friendly and honest. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting and they've always got a good playlist going on in the Background. Make sure you got some time, because you can literally dig through the store for 7 to 8 hours and still not get through everything. All the comics & collectibles are very well maintained, clean and organized. Bring the kids, they will have a a lot of fun. I drive 4 hours from North Georgia just to peruse the shop at least three times a year. Highly recommend you do the same.

My favorite place to visit when in Maryville, TN. The staff is very friendly and helpful with a vast amount of knowledge of all geekdom. Fantastic place!

Amazing selection of new comics. Massive selection of back issues. A room dedicated to graded comics! Plus there were many other collectibles. The building and it's history is almost worth the trip to this shop alone. Also the owners are wonderful. I will definitely be back!

Probably won’t be back. Heard good things about this store but when I walked in and was looking at the new releases, I just kept getting stared at by employee while just browsing. They followed me all around the store. Every time I’d look at her she would look away suddenly. As if they were profiling me.Just gave me an uneasy vibe. I could understand if they have had problems with shoplifters in the past but as a first time customer but a die hard comic book fan I did not feel welcomed at all. :(

Awesome place! Great selection of comics, trades, and action figures with some unique options we hadn't spotted before. Also, both people were incredibly friendly! My husband had a medical event while at the store and they were very understanding which can unfortunately be rare.
