At The Comic Book Presser, our goal is to improve the quality and value of your comic collection. We work on everything from small orders for new collectors to large submissions from some of the country’s leading comic book dealers. Since 2010, we have completed more than 37,000 comics for over 5,700 happy clients.
The Comic Book Presser was established by Chris Myers in Encino, California, in 2010 and is now located in Raleigh, North Carolina. Over the years, the business has grown, expanded its staff, and taken on many different forms. Today, it has evolved into its strongest and most focused form yet, with Chris and Niki working directly on every order.
Chris and Niki met while attending the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and Niki holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She has been part of The Comic Book Presser since its establishment in 2010. Together, Chris and Niki are the driving force behind the daily operation and personally perform the hands-on work on their clients’ comics. This allows them to oversee every order while maintaining the quality and consistency their clients expect.
Chris grew up as an avid comic book collector and has never lost his passion for the hobby. In 2021, he completed a 32-year collecting journey by finishing full runs of both X-Men and The Amazing Spider-Man.
With their backgrounds in fine art and years of hands-on experience, Chris and Niki understand paper, pressing, and the careful handling of valuable comic books. The services provided by The Comic Book Presser are not considered restoration by the major comic book grading companies.
