Heroes Comic Books, a beloved Campbell comic book store, has announced it will leave its longtime home on the corner of Winchester and E. Campbell Ave. after more than 40 years and relocate in June 2026.

The new location at 1501 W. Campbell Ave. will occupy the former Kelly-Moore Paints space, keeping the comic book shop within the Campbell area. Heroes Comic Books’ growing business and demand for more space drove the decision to move. The current location will remain open during the transition, though customers may experience some service disruptions.

The announcement was made in the following post, via Facebook:

Details about the new store, including any celebrations or special events, will be announced at a later date. Customers won’t have to worry as the store will still participate in Free Comic Book Day this weekend, along with other Bay Area comic book stores.

Heroes Comic Books first opened in 1985 and moved to its 24 E. Campbell Ave. location in 1990. Positioned at the edge of Downtown Campbell, the store welcomes pedestrians and motorists as they enter the area. Over the decades, it has grown from a neighborhood shop into the go-to Campbell comic book store and a cornerstone of the Bay Area’s fandom community.

Even our founder and editor has mentioned he bought his first Pokémon cards and comic books from Heroes Comic Books back in the 2000s.
