~~~~ About Us ~~~~

My name is Chad Burris. I've collected comics for over 30 years, and worked for a couple local comic book shops. Collecting has always been a passion of mine, and I enjoy putting my education and experience to use in buying, grading, and pricing comics. My wife Tessa has worked in retail and auction houses. She enjoys doing research on vintage toys, and finding treasures for other people.

Burris Comics and Collectibles started in February 2020, when we purchased a large comic book collection from a closing flea market, just before Covid shut everything down. We then opened our first comic book booth in the Country Shops of Grabill, and turned to selling some of the more valuable comics online. We soon expanded to a second booth at Yvonne Marie's Antique Mall in Decatur, and started to purchase more collections, including vintage toys and Funko pops.

In October 2022, we were finally able to open our first retail location at 1601 Oakland St. in Fort Wayne, where all of our new and vintage comics and toys were available! We also provided a space for local artists to consign their artwork, and continued to buy collections (comic and toys) from individuals for a fair price. Unfortunately, we were not able to renew our lease, and closed our Oakland St. location in September 2023.

We moved much of our inventory to our booth in Grabill, and then opened another booth at The Rink, a new vintage and antique mall in the former Roller Dome South building. And we recently purchased a full-size bus, which we plan to convert into a mobile shop for festivals and hobby shows!
