Welcome Back to Rocket Comics!

In 1991, Mack Richardson opened the doors of Rocket Comics in Burlington, NC. It was an exciting time to be a comic book fan and, doubly so, for those who wanted to share their love of comics with others. Mack's shop was a place where fans could gather, talk about their favorite characters, and discover new stories. It was a comic book shop meant for comic book fans.

Even though the shop has been closed for many years now, the spirit of Rocket Comics lives on. This site is a tribute to the shop and the fans who made it a special place.

The comic book industry (and world, at large) has changed so much over the last 30 years. In many ways, it seems to be a much more challenging environment to successfully operate a comic book shop. That being said, plans are in the works to reopen Rocket Comics. Stay tuned!
