What Washington shoppers say

Fantom Comics

Nice shop with a great selection of current comics and graphic novels. Some nice displays and thoughtful art on the walls. Not a back issue store, per se, they had recent issues, and a solar box, but ample to enjoy and find, excellent selection for kids. Friendly staff for sure.

Big Planet Comics

I've been going to Big Planet for years. The old location was my shop of choice downtown. The new spot is great. The store is bright and clean and well organized without a hint of the dingy shame of the shops I grew up with. The staff are knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly know and love their comics.
