Comic Book Experts
Joey Vazquez
Midtown Comics / It’s Alive Comics
Joey fell in love with comics in 1992 when he and his brother were given boxes of comics for Christmas (Joey: Marvel Comics/Brother: DC), and immediately became enamored with the art.
Joey's original pursuit was to become a comic book artist, but life had other plans. In 2010 he would be working the retail side and eventually become the Social Media Manager for a small comic book store in Charleston, South Carolina in 2018.
In mid-2019 he moved to New York City to pursue his dream of officially working in the center of the comic book industry, and started his own company It's Alive Comics. It's Alive Comics’ focus was great customer service and hard to find vintage items.
From the relationships he built, in 2021, he was approached by Midtown Comics to come on board as their head of Vintage Acquisitions. He jump started and rebuilt the entire platform for the company, sealing deals with Heritage Auctions, CGC Grading, and is building new products for the company going into 2025.
Sergio Zenteno
Midtown Comics
Sergio started his comic book journey in 1986 after receiving a copy of X-men from a classmate. That one book would change his entire world and become the title he chased after his entire career.
A graduate of Wesleyan University with a BA in History, he has used this background to develop a keen eye and encyclopedic knowledge that spans from the Golden Age of Comics (40's-50's) to modern day era titles, making him an undisputed expert in the field.
He started working in the industry in 2005 on the retail level working for the largest Comic Book Retailer in the world, Midtown Comics. He progressed within the company to become assistant manager to the Grand Central location, and then would depart shortly to help an upstart comic shop get its footing, then return to Midtown to help helm their warehouse operations.
He is now Supervisor to the Back-issue department, one of their top graders, and as of 2022 Assistant Back Issue Buyer for the company having traveled extensively and closing deals throughout.
