Your Community Comic Shop — Owned by Eva Heaberlin

In 2017, Comic World opened its doors in the heart of Zebulon, North Carolina, with one mission: to bring the thrill of comics, cards, games and collectibles to every fan—from the first-time reader to the seasoned collector—and to build a friendly, open, inclusive space that feels like home.

Eva Heaberlin and her family, longtime fans of superheroes, role-playing, and the local community, took the helm because they believe in more than retail: they believe in connection. You’ll often hear customers mention how the Heaberlins greet you like old friends, stop what they’re doing to help you find that elusive back-issue or chase card, and show genuine care for the folks who walk in the door. Just read the Google reviews!

Our Philosophy

Community first. We believe a comic shop isn’t just a business—it’s a gathering place for kids, teens, adult fans, families, gamers, hobbyists and collectors.

Local heart, big-world selection. While we carry top tier titles—Marvel, DC, Image—as well as manga, vintage back-issues, trading-cards and collectible toys, we never lose sight of our Zebulon / Triangle-area roots.

Knowledge + passion. Eric, Eva, and the team don’t just sell comics—they live comics: tracking new releases, deep cuts, indie gems, gaming nights, D&D campaigns, and everything in between.

Inclusive and family-friendly. Everyone’s welcome: from first-comic readers to long-time collectors. Kids, teens, adults. Novices, regulars, and lifelong fans.

Service above all. Need a rare issue? Looking for a game night? Want to trade your old collection? We listen, we hold stuff for you, we get it done—just like how reviews say the team keeps things honest, friendly and real.

Why You’ll Love Stopping By

Whether you’re coming in from Raleigh, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, Clayton, Rolesville, Wilson, Rocky Mount, Wake Forest or anywhere across the Triangle—Comic World is your home base for comics, cards, games and collectibles. Don’t just take our word for it: folks often tell us our vibe, selection and personal service “feel like coming back to the one shop that still gets it.”

When Eric or Eva ask “What are you hunting?” — it’s more than a question. It’s the start of your next great find.
