Hi! I’m Todd McDevitt, owner of New Dimension Comics and one of the top buyers of comic books in the universe!
First, a little background. I have 5 retail stores in the Pittsburgh, PA region. I started New Dimension Comics when I was just a pup in high school in 1986. I never dreamed that what I was doing then would explode into the successful business I have today. Which directly leads to why I NEED COMICS! Business is so good that my only hold up is lack of inventory. Whether you have collected yourself or discovered them under a layer of dust in your attic, I’d like to hear about them!
Here’s how the process works. Please contact me! You can e-mail me at todd@ndcomics.com, call me at 724-758-2324, or mail any info to Todd McDevitt, 516 Lawrence Ave., Ellwood City, PA 16117. I’d like to know the basics about your collection. Please be ready to answer questions like these :
What years are the comics from? (You can also tell me what original cover prices they have)
About how many are there?
What types are they? (Superhero? Western? Horror? Humor? Romance?) Some examples always helpful.
How were they stored? (Attic? Basement? Boxes? In Bags?)
Where are they?
If you are local and can visit our store locations, we’ll make this even easier for you! You can bring in your collection to any of our 5 locations and the staff there will shuttle to books to me at our Ellwood City warehouse. Be sure your name and phone number are on the boxes. From there, I’ll evaluate your collection and let you know the total. You can get a payment promptly after that or your books can be returned to you if you prefer. I’m mostly at the Ellwood City location. You can always try to make an appointment with me of course!
So why sell comic books to me? Well, I’m hungry for them! With 5 locations, I have an endless need for good titles. In addition, we also sell online, but we have clients for most of the really good titles, so they never make it online. Meaning, we pay more them since we have buyers waiting for them. I have 24 years of experience in the business and serve as a special advisor to the Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, considered the “bible” of the hobby. Most importantly, my momma raised me right! My reputation means everything to me and you can sleep soundly knowing that you will be treated fairly. You will always get a full explanation of how I access your collection. References are also available of course.”
I am also a member of the Comics Professional Retail Organization.
Here’s a fun example of one of my biggest purchases, Detective Comics #27, featuring the first appearance of Batman. This one got lots of attention on the news. Have a look:
Read Stan Lee's Story!
“When it came time for me to sell items from Stan Lee Media, a pal recommended Todd McDevit. The guy was like a superhero-buying tornado! Todd swooped in, evaluated my little treasures, made a great offer, paid promptly, and dragged them off to his secret lair.
Now pay attention! Here’s my message to you if you’re facing the nerve-wracking task of making the best decision about who to sell your comics to—simply take a deep breath and shout "Help me, Titanic Todd." then count the seconds till he heroically comes to the rescue!" –Stan Lee, Legendary Creator of Spider-man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, & many other Marvel heroes.
