Dr. NO's was founded back in 1977. Cliff and Ward took over the store in 1982, and the rest, as they say, is history. Currently, the store is solely owned by Cliff, who has as much enthusiasm for comics today as he did when he was growing up and creating his own fanzines (look that one up kids.)
In our time, we have carried a little bit of everything before deciding to focus on the comics and games side of things. We are currently the largest comics and games store in Cobb County and have the largest trade paperback collection in the south.
Owner of Dr. No's Comics and Games, Cliff can be elusive to find at the store at times, but he is always pleasant when found. His knowledge of the comics industry is amazing, and his ability to multi-task is second to none. Contact Cliff

Comics Manager of Dr. No's. Jared is contemplative and erudite with his bright 'n' shiny degree from KSU, he is a jack-of-all-trades with diverse comics knowledge. Jared also runs a mean gaming tourney and is skilled at a variety of CCGs, CMG's, and board games. Beware, though--he will get wild-eyed when the conversation turns to his favorite artist, Ben Templesmith.
Weekend Manager of Dr. No's. Action figure movie director. Movie nut. Has a different view of the world at large. Master of Magic: the Gathering and avid collector of... just about every card game imaginable. Tom also has an eclectic taste in his comics so he can help a customer find the out of the way titles.
Julie
The diminutive Julie returned to Dr. No's after a short absence; she is a fan of comics and games, and a published colorist who has done work for the Dabel Brothers (for which she is still awaiting payment unfortunately) and others. Julie's enthusiasm is infectious, and she's always ready to help customer find just what they're looking for!

Jason brings with him an eclectic source of knowledge of Marvel Comics. Jason is the grand organizer of the backstock inventory, so if you are looking for an older issue or a recent issue of your favorite comic, Jason is your man.
Where did you get your name?
Dr. NO's is named after the first James Bond film and novel. When first opened, the central theme was James Bond collectibles. We've changed focus, but we still have a few Bond odds and ends left.
How long have you been open?
Dr. No's has been open since March of 1977.
Didn't you guys used to be somewhere else?
Actually, yes. For the first 8 months that the store was open, Dr. NO's was about a mile from its current location. Since then, we have been in the same spot here in Blackwell Square.
Didn't you guys used to be smaller?
You are remembering correctly, Dr. No's used to be half of the size it is now, but was able to expand to it's current size in July 2004.
Do you have _______________ trade paperback in stock?
We have in excess of 20,000 individual collected editions in stock and if we do not have it, and it is in print, we can most likely get it for you!
Do you have other locations?
For a short time, there was a second Dr. NO's at the corner of Terrell Mill and Cobb Parkway. But is has long since closed (and if you've kept up with the crime statistics for that area of Cobb County, you might realize that's not such a bad thing...).
What are your store Hours?
Monday through Friday from 11:00 am till 8:00 pm (although we're here until 9pm any Friday night when there's a YuGiOh tournament) and Sunday 12:00 noon till 6:00 pm.
Does Dr. No's have a subscription service?
We do offer a subscription service to our local customers. Click Here to email us for more information.
Do you carry video games?
No, Dr. No's has chosen to focus our attention to the type of games that you may not be able to find at the "big box" retailers.
I am going out of town, can I get you to hold a couple of titles for me til I get back?
With our new Prepaid Preorder system, you can purchase any Comic, T-shirt, or Toy ahead of time; when the item ships, we will pull it for you and hold it for up to 1 year.
