What happens when you take a hobby you're passionate about and make a decision to bring it to the masses? You get a unique store called DJ's Comic Corner.

DJ's Comic Corner is the brainchild of our friend Derrick Roslaniec and his wife Joanne. The business held its official grand opening on Sat. Sept. 8th with great deals, draws, snacks, beverages and special guests including several local politicians, members of the media and St. Catharines mayor Walter Sendzik.

Scribbles also was on hand to check out DJ's Comic Corner and congratulate Derrick and Joanne (although my arrival was in the afternoon, long after the politicians presence and the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which took place in the AM hours.)

In addition to comic books, DJ's also carries apparel (shirts, beanies, scarfs, wallets, bags and more) plus rare collectibles and memorabilia.

Derrick described the motivation behind DJ's on their Facebook page.

"DJ’s Comic Corner was born from a love of comic books. I have been a fan since my youth, and as I grew I couldn’t get enough of these wonderful stories with amazing artwork - my imagination was on fire" said Derrick.

He continued "Now I’m at a point in my life where I can share this genre with kids (and the kid in all of us). That’s what DJ’s Comic Corner is about. Promoting reading and the joys of the imagination."

Midweek is always special at DJ's, it's "New Release Wednesday" when -as the name implies - new comic books are added to the store's ever-growing inventory of unique finds. 

Since opening, DJ's Comic Corner has become a sponsor of local hockey team the Niagara IceDogs which means they get to "set up shop" and offer giveaways at select games. 

Reviews for DJ's have been quite favourable....

"Derrick knew what Venture Bros. was, and had a Spider-Man book I was trying to find for years... very good people, felt welcomed, and would definitely continue to go there" ~ Kyle H.

"DJ's is great! Derrick and Josie are absolute gems; you won't find nicer folk! 12/10 recommend this shop." ~ Kate A.

With Christmas just around the corner, check out DJ's Comic Corner for awesome comics, collectibles and merchandise.
