The story of All New Comics...so far...
All New Comics is dedicated to making it easier to buy comics. To making sure you never miss an issue. To helping you to save some money. To helping to build the comics industry into a bigger and better thing, and to contributing to our industry in meaningful and lasting ways.
We have been in business since 2005, and we’ve established ourselves as Canada’s Online Comics Superstore!
All New Comics is owned by Peter Fisico. Peter has been a comics retailer for many years. He is an integral part of the Toronto comics community. He’s the inspiration behind the Women of Comics panels at the Toronto Comicon, and is a huge collector of comics, comic memorabilia, and original comics art. His resume includes organizing conventions, and managing a successful comics store.
Peter’s original co-founder, Brian Garside, serves as technical consultant in partnership with his company Manage Comics.
All New Comics focuses on serving the entire Canadian comics loving community. From the farthest reaches of the west coast, all the way to the most distant towns of the east coast, All New Comics has served the entire country for over a decade.
Not only was Manage Comics the first massively online comic shop in Canada with more product available than any other comic shop, but one of our biggest moments was the innovation of the Subscription Billing service on August 1st 2007 . The subscription tool was significantly overhauled to allow for automated billing directly through the website. All orders from selection to pull through billing were tracked directly on the website.
