WHO WE ARE:
Digital
Heroes is an online shop devoted to non-sports trading cards, comic books
and collectable action figures. We are currently based in Walla
Walla Washington. Although we no longer maintain a formal
storefront, local customers may make arrangements to stop by and pick up
their order. We can still occasionally be seen in person at the
larger Seattle and Portland area comic shows. We also make an annual
appearance at RadCon in the Tri-Cities
area each February.
HISTORY: Digital Heroes started as "Show's Only" business based in the Seattle area in 1991. In July of 1993, after much success with the comic shows and with the booming comic market of the time, we opened up a storefront in my home town of Walla Walla. At this time we were very fortunate to meet Richard Garfield the creator of Magic: The Gathering, who was teaching at Whitman College next door to our shop. To make a long story short we got in the the Magic phenomenon from the very beginning. In 1994 when dotcoms were in there infancy, Digital Heroes started experimenting with Magic sales on the Internet. By 1995 we had our own domain and web site. In 1996, mail order and Internet sales exceeded what was being made in the storefront. The storefront had actually lost money during that year. In 1997, as the comic industry faltered and the sales of Magic were no longer what they were, Digital Heroes experienced a huge financial loss. In July of 1998 we closed our storefront. In 2000 it became apparent that the website needed some focus and to desperately be updated. In July of 2001 our focus had become non-sport trading cards. In June of 2002, the site underwent some fundamental design changes to tie the PayPal shopping cart into a database to allow for a larger number of products to be listed. A new shopping cart that better calculates shipping for multiple items was introduced in January 2005. In May 2006 the website had it's fifth major overall including new code for the shopping cart as well as a separate section featuring an expanded selection of action figures. In February 2007 a separate section for collectible gaming card featuring Magic the Gathering with sets, boxes, and packs went online. Our shopping cart was redesigned in November 2007 to be more compatible with security updates and changes made to most modern web browsers. A forth section for comic books and graphic novels is also planned for sometime in the future (This requires sorting, grading & pricing 100+ long boxes of comics!) To see our selection of graphic novels for sale, please click here for our half.com store. PERSONAL INFORMATION: Digital Heroes is owned and operated by Jeff Watson, with occasional help from his wife Karen and his mom Linda.
