Owning and operating a Comic Book Store began as a dream for Darren Macon many years ago as he grew up in Richmond. Finding it difficult to locate an affordable brick-and-mortar space, he initially opened his store on-line in 2013. After a few years of ups and downs, he was able to open in a store space at Hilltop Mall in Richmond. So, in 2018, D3 Comic Book Spot opened its doors at the Mall. It was a struggle because Hilltop Mall was going through what was supposed to be a complete renovation and re-design. Unfortunately, foot-traffic began to decrease significantly, but the comic bookstore held on, hoping for better times. Then the onset of COVID happened in March, 2020! The mall shut down completely! Just like everyone else, it was hoped that it would be a short-lived experience. Unfortunately, in July 2020, the store received the devastating news that the Mall would not re-open at all! Trying to re-locate to another brick-and-mortar store in the midst of a pandemic was an impossibility! So, Darren has recently revived his dream of selling comic books and is back in an on-line environment, with the dream of getting back into a brick-and-mortar store first and foremost on his mind!
D3 Comic Book Spot has a great inventory of all of the current comic book brands and titles, various collectibles, action figures, graphic novels and more. It is the fervent hope that especially during this pandemic, people will be encouraged to go to the web site, D3COMICBOOKSPOT.COM, to find all of their comic book needs. The goal is to move back into a brick-and-mortar location as soon as Covid restrictions and limitations will allow, and things get back to normal!
