About Us

Drom's Comics and Cards is a spacious comic, card and collectibles shop located at the corner of 3rd & G Streets inside the Court & Cedar Plaza in Downtown Davis, California. It's downtown location makes it perfect for a quick stop for lunch hour Davisites. Not only is it conveniently located, it's comfortable and convenient for the shoppers once they enter. Everything is available to order and in a quick fashion. Every comic shipment arrives on time (within an hour of Stores opening) on Wednesdays (barring any Holidays or acts of nature), and if you feel like browsing and want to sit to read or play a game, feel free. Drom's has enough table space for 40 people, a soda vending machine and very cool A/C.Our staff is always ready with a laugh and information, often times taking part of their busy schedules to sit and play or teach others about the comics and/or card games. We try to meet as many requests as possible (still not getting a pink poodle Pinata) but have our limits too. We welcome any who can enjoy a long afternoon of whatever type of geekdom they prefer.

 

We aim for Long Term value over short term gain. Basically we just feel that too many in the industry look at the short term profits and forget about the potential of the future. Yes we want to make money as much as the next business does, but to what extent? We will not now, or ever, over value or take advantage of some newly hyped book to charge more than cover price for a book that has just come out, same with the cards. While many in the industry were charging $25.00 or more for the Barack Obama issue of Spiderman, we charged $3.99, the cover price... Why should we gouge you for short term gain when we can keep you coming back, and keep you happy for longer ? That is what Long term value means to us.

 

We do our best to donate to some of our favorite charities, such as Chicks in Crisis, Toys for Tots and Davis Community Meals.  If you would like to donate to any of these foundations, please visit their websites or stop by Drom's and we'll be happy to help you make your donation to any of these charities!

We would like to thank everyone for making Drom's the success it has been to date, and everyone who will continue to make it thrive and grow. You are as much a part of this shop as are any of the staff. Thank you.

Customer Comments

2009-06-18 10:37:26   Since Vacating Davis, I haven't been around Drom's as often as I had been since its opening, and the great thing about that is, I know my saver is being filled with each discounted issue I have on my Comic Must Have list. (10% off comics in your Saver!!) Also, in having this saver, and talking Comics with Wes, Jenkins and Mark, they often save a copy of a non-listed comic that they suggest based on what I do save, by Artist (Ian Churchill is so under rated), writer, story-lines, etc that I favor. The Atmosphere here is also great, the store really acknowledges the input of its customers/denizens, just as if the regulars at the card tables are also customer service reps. Each Employee is also vast in knowledge in they're own unique fields. Magic Players (which over power the tcg community; LONG LIVE VS SYSTEM)have a home in Drom's because Jenkins and Wes actually know what they're talking about, not to mention the effort as to make each tcg (trading card games) event as professional as possible. (Check out who the judge is!) Comic enthusiasts are also taking well care of by Wes. Who, try as he must, stays on top of current story-lines as to suggest to new/old customers what they should be reading. Then there's Street Fighter, must I continue on that!? Overall, Drom's is rapidly becoming a Staple in the Davis Community as your One-Stop Nerd Shop (come now, admit to yourself, and join the nerd side) —nc69chicano

 
 
This place is absolutely great. I only come in every couple of weeks, but they always address me by name. They'll back and special order comics at cover price or less ... and they have incredible knowledge of a wide range of comics. It's so nice to buy from people who simply love comics and card. The business naturally comes from their love of the product, not the other way around. —jsg718
