CIA Comics Import Amsterdam

Where do I start? So... this is not your usual store. This place is unique in every way. When Google Maps led us to the front door of an old "grachtenpand" and there was a man smoking beside the front door, we thought we hadn't followed the directions correctly. "Go on inside," said the man. So we, two young women, stepped into the dark hallway that smelled like cigarettes. "Why?" we thought. "Why did we go inside? Did we just allow ourselves to get kidnapped?" But then our eyes adjusted to the dim light and discovered comic book heaven! This store has such an amazing mood. People smoking among the mechandise, shelves with totally random and unorganized stuff like Black Series figures, Super Famicom games, a Coca Cola collection. Tables are crooked, longboxes falling apart from use, unsorted classic toys on the floor... AND IT IS AWESOME! You're in 70's America and it. Is. Awesome!! You better plan out an entire day júst for this store. There's backissues going back all the way to heck knows when, trades from various eras and publishers. If you're a comic geek, or just a regular geek, you gotta come here. The owner, what a great guy, he knows everything and he can get you everything. He somehow knows where everything is (so there ís a system, we just couldn't find it) and he's ready to help. Oh, and I've mentioned cigarettes and the smoking, but don't worry. I've been coming here a while and nothing I've ever bought smelled like nicotine. (They cast some kind of spell to prevent that, I think.) So don't worry about the cigarettes or the mess or the darkness... just take in this mood, have fun and take home some comics for criminally cheap prices. As they say on eBay: Great seller. Would buy again. AAA!!!

Cool comics. Nice People.

Good Shop with lots of comics

The shop is pretty cluttered and smells like cigarette smoke. The staff are neither friendly or helpful. I used to go to the other CIA occasionally that unfortunately closed down. That shop was small, but really well laid out, and the folks working there were so friendly and passionate about comics.

If you are looking for Comics you should go there. Not much Merchandise
