What is in this comic book store email list?

The file has 873 Google Maps listings in the Comic book store category, counted on 9 November 2026. A row is one shop: a corner store that sells new issues and back issues, a game and collectibles shop that also stocks comics, or a single owner working out of a small retail space. A shop with two locations has two Maps listings and so two rows.

Of the comic book store listings, 611 have an email address, taken from the shop's own website. Phone numbers are on 827 rows and a website is on 731. Comic shops are often run by one or two people who answer the phone themselves, so the phone column is as useful here as the email column.

Every row carries the same category, Comic book store, so there is no category split to filter on. The cuts that matter are geography and the type of email address.

How can you segment the file?

The file is one CSV. Sort and filter the comic book store file in Excel or Google Sheets using the columns already in it.

Geography is the main cut. Comic shops depend on local foot traffic and a regular crowd on Wednesday new release day, so most vendors who sell to them work region by region. Filter on state or city and work one area at a time.

The business name column helps you spot shops that sell more than comics. Names with Games, Cards, Toys or Collectibles in them often carry tabletop games and trading cards as well, which matters if you sell to that side of the business. A name with Comics alone is more likely a pure comic shop.

The email column splits into named-person addresses and role addresses. In this file 197 addresses are named-person, 152 are role addresses such as info@ or shop@, and 262 use a free webmail domain. Many small shop owners use a personal webmail address as the shop contact, so a webmail address here often reaches the owner directly.

• State and city: one metro area or the whole country.
• Business name keywords: Games, Cards, Toys, Collectibles for the mixed shops.
• Email type: named-person, role or webmail.
• Website column: shops without a website are reachable by phone only.

Who buys a comic book store email list?

The buyers are companies that sell to retailers who sell comics. Independent publishers and small press creators look for shops that will stock a new title or take a pre-order. Back issue and graded comic dealers want shops that buy collections. Supply makers sell bags, boards, long boxes and display racks. Trading card and tabletop game distributors pitch the shops that already carry cards and miniatures. Point of sale and inventory software vendors look at shops that still run a spreadsheet for pull lists.

Convention organizers also use lists like this one. A regional comic convention wants local shops as exhibitors or as partners that hand out tickets. Collectible toy and apparel wholesalers pitch the same shops for the non-book side of the shelf.

How do you run outreach to comic shops?

Most owners read email in the morning before opening or in the quiet hours of a weekday afternoon. Wednesday is the busiest day of the week for the shop, so a message sent that day will wait. Aim for Tuesday or Thursday.

Start from the address type. A named-person address, 197 of the 611, goes to someone by name, usually the owner. Open with the first name and one line about their store. A role address, 152 in the file, reaches whoever opens the shop inbox, which in a small store is often the same owner, so a plain note works.

Keep the pitch to the shop's own business: the titles they carry, the customers who come in, the events they host. A publisher can say which local readers a new series suits. A supply company can name the product and the price per case in the first message. Do not send a generic wholesale catalog.

Use the city column to reference something local. A shop in Las Vegas, Chicago or San Antonio knows its own scene, and a line about the area shows you looked. Send in small batches and remove anyone who replies no. A shop owner who gets a second pitch after saying no will remember the sender.

What email rules apply when you contact comic shops?

Two CAN-SPAM basics apply to commercial email sent to a shop owner: put a valid physical postal address for your business in the message, and give a working opt-out link or reply instruction that you honor. A one-line footer with both covers it.

Which states and cities should you start with?

In the comic book store file, California has 146 listings and 102 emails. Texas comes second, at 104 comic shops with 73 emails. Florida has 65 and 46, New York 49 and 34, Illinois 35 and 24, North Carolina 31 and 22, Arizona 30 and 21, Ohio 28 and 20, and Nevada and Washington each 26 and 18.

By city, Las Vegas has 19 listings, Chicago and San Antonio 18 each, Houston 12, Los Angeles 11, Sacramento, Albuquerque and Brooklyn 9 each, and San Diego and Jacksonville 8 each.

A small supplier can take one metro, call the shops without an email and mail the rest. A publisher with a regional sales rep can hand each rep a state.
