Open since 1991, First State Comics is owned and managed by Michael Romagnoli. It is a full service comic book shop which also carries many items related to comic books and science fiction such as tee shirts, books, posters, videos, models, toys, and many other collectibles and readables.

"It cannot be stressed enough that I feel people should buy comics and other items to be read, used, or otherwise enjoyed. If you want to speculate, that's fine, but beware that you probably will see little, if any, of your money again. Comics in particular are a fascinating form of literature that is easily enjoyed by people of all ages." says owner Michael Romagnoli
