Continuing the Legacy

In 2015, Gavin and Deanna Willard took the reins at Tardy’s and have committed to continuing the important legacy of Tardy’s Collectors corner as a first-class comic, toy and collectible shop. The Willards have stayed true to Tardy’s roots while introducing a more expansive stock of toys and pop culture collectibles.
