Chapel Hill Comics announced it will close its store on West Franklin Street March 31.

Though it was only known as Chapel Hill Comics for 10 years, the store is the oldest specialty comic book store in the Triangle, dating back to the 1980s and 90s

Ryan Kulikowski, owner of Chapel Hill Comics, said there was no one specific thing that led to the closing of the store.

Kulikowski said he wants to focus on the customers and the good times the store has had.

“I want to really express how much gratitude we have for our customers, especially the loyal ones that have been with us for a long time,” he said.

The store has begun putting all inventory on sale.

“As time goes on, those sales will get better,” Kulikowski said

He said Chapel Hill Comics is planning a celebration to commemorate the store and its customers.

Customers can look forward to that celebration near the end of March, along with a few possible signings by local authors in the coming weeks.
