All In A Dream Comics

Great Experience. My experience with this store was great! The staff was friendly and willing to help me find what I was looking for. They did not carry the item I was looking for in their inventory, but one of the employees had it in his personal collection. He was happy to sell it to me and even sold it to me for a great price. I was very pleased with my experience and I definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for great comics, low prices, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff.…

Time Best Spent. A crotchety lady from around the corner of this business warned me not to go in. The guy is so cranky she said. Fact was, I'd already been in, and all my experiences had been good. I thought to myself, "I'll go in as much as I want, and like it". The first time I came in (or one of the first) I asked him (the owner) why he'd named the store "All in a Dream". The explanation or story was so good, it felt like a party in there. I've noticed lots of other customers loving Ray and his store, especially regulars, who probably know more facets of the guy who is Ray, than strangers to him and his store who are too quick to judge (and are probably thinly disguised "Debbie Downers" anyway). The lady who told me to "stay away" had a "tolerance" sticker on her car, and "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" which reduced my opinion of her's, since she was intentionally downing an obviously intensely dedicated local business owner, and only made me more curious to go in.

As far as I'm concerned, his occasional grumpiness, or crankiness only serves to make him (and his store and it's atmosphere) (it does have a definite one) more endearing and goes to show he is real (as others here have attested). I believe people should embrace all their energies, not just the pretty ones that make shallow people happy. I don't really know, but If I were him, I'd rather be genuine, than sell out for the satisfaction of all the "sufacey" people out there. Long experience makes one extremeley knowledgeable too. But don't expect him to share all his knowledge in one sitting.

If you are serious about buying comics, you will find your time is best spent here. Read and believe reviews "Exellent Store" by Dirk Manly, "Best in Denver" by DMV135, and other positive reviews by serious comic collectors, some who are also long time customers. They'll give you the more balanced, realistic review. As for the guy who says he is a paying customer but was accused of stealing, I heard tell of a guy who is a paying customer who has also stolen. Don't know if it's The same guy or not. I've been in the store when someone has stolen, so it isn't something that doesn't happen, or something a serious shop owner should have to feel guilty about being wary of.

Great selection. Great guy. And I like a lot of the other people who come in there too. Worth the trip. Definitely.…

Horrible customer service. I wanted to get a specific book so I called this store and asked if they had it. Whoever I spoke to told me that they did. I told the guy my wife would be in later that day to pick it up and he said no problem. My wife went there and told whoever was working "My husband called about a comic book and you told him you had it" but before she could even finish her sentence the guys says "No one called me today". So she just asks him if he has the book without even looking for it he tells her "Nope". She then repeats that her husband had called and was told it was in so he proceeds to tell her that she doesn't know what she's talking about, she's obviously confused, doesn't know anything about comics and is probably lost. Real great service, this guy must not like selling his products. I would highly encourage people to go somewhere else for comic books.

To VanSciver who said "That man has given his life to owning a store that supplies YOU with the BEST comic books while he lives in poverty." No he hasn't done this in the least. He went out of his way to not sell his product. If he lives in poverty its because he can't keep customers coming into his store. I don't care how long he's owned his store so he can be a jerk to people. He doesn't deserve my respect.…

Don't waste your time.. One star is 6 too many. A few people on here have tried to defend the owner (I'm assuming) and his terrible attitude, buuuut... If you don't like customers of EVERY type, don't go into the retail business. There's a ton of people who don't give a sh** about comics, let alone a lot of the pretentious bullsh** out there. Many of these people might just be curious, or, as has been mentioned, looking for a gift for a friend. There is NO excuse for the staff to be that rude to customers. I don't care what a person likes to read, if they aren't rude walking in the door, they deserve to be treated with respect.

It's not their place to judge what a person decides to read as sh** or worthwhile. It's all a matter of taste or opinion. If you don't like people reading something other than what you like, start an online only retail site, and sell only what you like. Don't leave the house if you're that much of a whiney b**ch that you can't handle people with different tastes/opinions then you, and certainly don't go into business where the driving factor is DEALING WITH PEOPLE!

Even if you are a "true collector", everyone starts somewhere. Once upon a time, you didn't know everything either...and did someone acting like a complete a**hole towards you because of it help that at all? Would you consider that sort of behaviour encouraging to those looking to find a new hobby?

I made the mistake of walking into that store twice, and each time received a terrible attitude just for opening the door. I didn't even bother asking for anything in particular because, well...I sure wasn't going to give my money to some d**che bag who obviously didn't want it when I could get the same thing in better condition from friendlier stores (like All C's).

If he hates people that badly, "Ray" should go buy a cabin in the woods and never leave.…
