Comic Book Men

Michael Zapcic

Michael Zapcic has an encyclopedic knowledge of every issue of every comic known to man. If you are looking for a rare Marvel back issue, or you want to know in which episode an obscure character first appeared, Mike is your guy. Zapcic began his career at The Stash in 2000 and is still in awe that he is able to make a living doing something he is so passionate about. In addition to helping Walt run the store, Zapcic hosts a weekly podcast called “I Sell Comics” with Ming Chen on Kevin Smith’s radio network S.I.R.: SModcast Internet Radio. Zapcic, who resides in Long Branch, NJ, is busy rebuilding his comic book collection after Hurricane Sandy flooded his home and destroyed some of his most prized possessions. Zapcic met and married his beautiful wife Julia after she noticed him reading a copy of Wizard: The Magazine of Comics. Together they have two boys, Mitch and Daniel.
