G-Mart Comics is still open for business!
G-Mart has been in operation since 1995, and we plan
to safely weather this global health crisis while continuing to provide
the services our customers have come to expect.
To that end, G-Mart Comics staff are taking extra precautions to protect themselves and you from exposure risk:
- Restrictions on customers inside our retail stores, including reduced hours and capacity and requirements for face covering and social distancing
- Minimal staff at our warehouse and retail stores (working from home as much as possible)
- Frequent washing of hands and surfaces
Online Shopping customers can still make purchases online and expect them to ship as normal, although delivery times may be slightly longer due to operational issues with USPS and UPS outside of our control. It's a great time to catch up on recent issues, back issues, and graphic novels!
For all subscribers: the monthly cycle for Subscriptions/Pre-Orders is operating normally
