Meet Morgan

Post By Aliceio Slider, Staff

Owner of the first female-owned comic book shop in Western North Carolina!

Owner, ambassador, and geeky kindred spirit, Morgan exudes kindness to all and strives to emulate her ultimate role model, Mr. Rogers, in her daily approach to life and those she interacts with. Under her guidance, Morgan’s Comics is a true “nerd sanctuary” where all feel welcome and heard.

I have always loved this place and our people, but I never imagined that it would one day have my name on it!

Thank you to everyone who helps our “Nerd Sanctuary” flourish. I connect our customers with the geeky wants that help make their days more exciting and joyful. I encourage a youthful enthusiasm for life by “nerding it out” with like-minded folks of all ages.

Meet Bridgette

Post By Aliceio Staff

The store and Morgan gave me a place where I fit right in, and I’ve never been happier.

Hi there! My name’s Bridgette, but you can call me Bird if you want to. (They/Them pronouns, please!) 

Ever since the Summer of 2019, I’ve been lending my hand to Morgan’s Comics in any way I can, whether it’s cleaning and testing games, helping with events, or being a friendly face in the store! I love helping out with the Nerd Sanctuary, and even more than that, I love the folks who come by. The store, the people, and the love of comics and all things nerdy and fun has kept me coming back to give my all, and always will (not to mention how quickly Morgan, Matt and their wonderful family became some of my favorite folks!) 

Helping folks find their perfect book, board game or new comic is one of my favorite things to do especially, because I love how excited people get when they find their new favorite storylines!

If you ever find yourself in Morgan’s and happen to see me, feel free to strike up conversation! My favorite thing in the world to do is talk about common interests, and share stories; I could talk all day about Spider-Man, Disney, and Pokemon! You’ll often find me at the desk or participating in some of our many awesome weekly events, like Pokemon TCG gaming or board game nights. Hope to see y’all there!!

Meet Matt

Post By Aliceio Slider, Staff

I had always been a low-key nerd for most of my life. Growing up I played with my Ninja Turtle and X-Men toys, and then later in life got into Harry Potter and Star Wars, but all of my nerdoms were always in the background. It wasn’t until fate allowed me (while doing my day job as a mail carrier) to start delivering to the “Nerd Sanctuary” that I found my community.

During that time, I looked forward to being able to check out the new goodies when I would stop by everyday. Morgan was always there with a kind smile and a water bottle for me.

A bit later I started going through some pretty hard times. This is when the “Nerd Sanctuary” really opened up its arms and invited me in. I met basically all of my friends here and quickly got involved in movie and board game nights.

Now, a few years later, Morgan’s Comics is basically my home.

I currently buy and price boardgames, shirts, hats, and action figures. I also run Board Game Night and am all ears for anyone with crazy toy collections or geeking out about Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Hellboy!
