Pulp Fiction is smaller than a lot of comic book stores but they do have a decent selection. They also sell used graphic novels for 50% or more off, and allow trade-ins for credit.

Amazing value and prices for singles and honestly very fair prices for their boosters. They do buy x for x deals on their boosters and it helps you save a bit!

Stumbled upon Atomic Comics so we went in and took a walk around. They have a very huge selection of everything - comics, collectibles, etc you name it. Everything is organized and in decent order.

Nice place, inside, the parking can be a little a tight, but it's not bad. Prices seem to be on point with other places in the area. I like it and I am glad we stumbled upon it.

To be honest, dear reader, I am not an avid comic book reader! While I do enjoy the superhero…read moremovies that come along each year, and I do casually read certain runs, or listen to explanations of certain comics via Comics Explained, I do not keep up with this medium as consistently as I do with Video Games. The only run that I have kept up with on a consistent basis is the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, both the Archie run (slightly before Ian Flynn would take over) and the IDW run as I am a huge fan of Sonic. Due to this, I do like to visit a comic book store every once-in-a-while, and this is my #1 spot! I found out about this nice little spot back in 2006 or 2007 as after learning about the Archie run via the Sonic Mega Collection, I wanted to start reading these comics. I noticed this place from time to time in my family's travels to Bellflower and asked my Mother to take me one day. I stopped going for a long time, not because of any specific negative reason, but just because they stopped selling the Sonic run. Since Sonic is the only comic book that I read, I had no reason to return. I did find out about places like Pulp Fiction, but I found that the customer service was consistently not up to par and eventually stopped going. Last year, during Free Comic Book Day, I wanted to stop by a Comic Book Store in order to pick up some of the free comic books. I first went to Amazing Comics & Cards, but found the selection to be very limited and a similar problem of the customer service being poor. I went here after so long to see if they were participating in Free Comic Book Day, and luckily enough, they were! Going in, it is still majorly organized as I remember way back when, but just now with more Graphic Novels and Manga. One thing that I can always say is the best about this place is the customer service. When I went to Free Comic Book Day, they gave people a list of what was available and crossed out any that were not available, they allowed an individual to get way more comics than the previous store I went to (like 5 comics in comparison to 2 or 3), and when I was conflicted on which comic to get, they just allowed me to have both. Not only this, the main guy at the cash register, I never got his name, but is an older white gentleman that usually wears a cap, is always nice and helpful. I don't remember him from years ago, but immediately from our first interaction, he has the best personality. Easy to talk to and start up a conversation, and leaves a definite positive impression after stepping out of the store. And this isn't just one interaction, I had been going from time to time in 2025, and the attitude was always solid. They never seem to run out of the comics that I am looking for and just generally seem to be great spot hidden away in the Bellflower area. In all, from what I remember back in the mid-to-late 2000s and recently, I give them 5 stars. A great place for comic readers and worthy of being one of my favorite spots to stop by when I am in the mood of purchasing a comic.

My review is specifically for that Pokémon dealer in the far left corner when you enter the show,…read morethe one inside that little room. I met Vincent, and he recognized my kids and me - we're noobs when it comes to Pokémon cards and pretty much only buy $1-2 bulk foil cards for fun, and we've walked the floor maybe once before. Vincent is a gem of a dealer and human being. He gave my boys sleeves, and even $5 full alt-art foils at no cost. Needless to say, for any future Pokémon purchases, I'm coming to these guys first. They also had 6-7 binders full of great $1-2 cards and it's exactly what we're looking for. Ended up walking out with $20 worth of $1 cards, not including their gifts to my boys. I get it, we're not high-dollar spenders for this hobby, but these guys treated us like we were. Vincent and his team deserve all the business they get.

What a privilege it is to have a place like Planet Books! Not having read any reviews before coming…read morein, I didn't know what to expect. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be to understate it. Rows and rows of books greet you, from $1 (yes, $1!) paperbacks to vintage mysteries to leather-bound volumes in the back and even a small vinyl collection. There's also a smattering of unique limited edition prints, photographs, and paraphernalia throughout. Pull up a chair and read awhile, too; plenty of armchairs stationed throughout the store. I found a copy of Dave Eggers' Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (which has been on my list awhile) right at the door, and it took all my self-control to not leave with every beautiful copy of Whitman or Steinbeck. This would be such a great place to come with fellow book lovers or to find a unique gift for a bookworm in your life (or yourself). No doubt I will be back - and soon!

The walls are lined with funko pops of real people as well as fictional characters, there are t-shirts, action figures and toys, and just generally cool geeky things to buy. The shop is bright and clean, well designed for browsing with plenty of space to move around eye catching displays, and the assistant was very friendly - the whole vibe makes you want to come back and support them, which I hope you will do!
