If you are a collector of comics, Funko Pops, anime, or the like. this may be the place for you…read more We came on a trip specifically to visit Collectors Corner and we were impressed. They had a large store with clearly labeled although crowded, aisles of comic, anime, cartoon, manga, clothing, and other items. This store is clearly a comic book lovers dream with a library of new and vintage ones that were for sale. They even had a basement area filled with comic books to purchase in bulk and video games to play. All in all, if you are looking for a specific comic book, manga merch, anime merch, Funko Pops and the like to add to your collection, this store is a must visit.

My friend and I were super excited to purchase a few items from here, and there's plenty of things for readers, collectors, and those who like cool things. There's a wide range of items here, ranging from manga, comics, vintage items, funko pops, plushies, blind boxes, snacks, and more. Come check it out!

I went here looking for silver age comics. While they had many comics of more recent vintage, they…read moredidn't appear to have any substantial amount of older comics. The prices I saw were a bit on the higher side but not outrageous. I think there's a benefit to being able to examine comics by hand rather than trust ebay descriptions. Friendly staff and an interesting basement with a wide assortment of less well known comics. Worth a visit if you are interested in more recent issues.

A standard comic shop, but has the staples! I appreciate the variety they have with both DC and…read moreMarvel comics, as well as the variant covers - they were easy to look through and properly covered. Would say they were fairly priced for each comic, minus the rare or vintage ones. Also has manga, figures, and other series. Can be kind of crowded and small but cozy. The staff was chill and nice. I'm not sure about parking, as there seemed to be only a few spots devoted to the comic shop, but the metro is convenient and nearby the shop.

Super old school comic shop. I used to come here in the 70s as a kid to grab all the Iron Man…read morecomics I could afford. Back then it was a huge fire hazard -- shelves stacked floor to ceiling packed with comics and barely enough room to walk in between. I loved it!! They've moved since then, but only about 200 feet down the road. Same small shopping area. It's much more open so I do miss the stacks on top of stacks of comic books. The one lone guy in front and I chatted for quite a while. Told me the history over the last 30 years since I've just not been in. Nice sized selection, including a lot more slabs than I've seen in most comic shops. Definitely a must-stop-by if you're in the area.

An absolute gem in the neighborhood and city. I was visiting my friend at a nearby cafe and after…read moretheir shift ended, he invited me to "his favorite bookstore" nearby. We walked just a few minutes to this wonderful cafe/bookshop! Tons of fantastic fun novels, interesting memoirs, graphic novels, poetry, manga, a modern book-lover's dream! I really appreciate how the store is laid out too-- it's inviting and helps you wander and find new discoveries. Did I plan on buying three books? No but I don't think I could have found them in such a delightful way had I not gone into this store! I already finished two out of the three! Baltimore deserves more stores like this. Community is what keeps places like this strong. A side note: If you're queer or bipoc, or if you're a family member to someone that is learning to build/explore/enjoy who they are-- a store like this is a great place to pick up a couple of books by authors or characters that catch your eye! This world is diverse and incredible if we're open to it. Stores and stories shared are so important

On my most recent walk, I noticed the rainbow flag by the window and decided to take a detour. I'm SO GLAD I did. I love this book store! But it's so much more! There's a little coffee spot, Reverie Coffee, and a section that caters to kids. It is SO much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Oh yeah, you comic & Marvel fans will LOVE this place. They have TONS of comics and a whole Marvel section. I checked out their website, and they have book clubs you can sign up for. They have a list of events and they even have merchandise. I love the BMore shirts and sweatshirts, but in the store they have more to choose from. Dreamers & Make-Believers is the appropriate name for such a cute bookstore+. There were a few people in the store with their laptops typing away. That's what I have planned for next week. I'm just gonna hang out. All of the employees were so friendly! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and when I was leaving. I love that! Come check it out!

If you're looking for a great selection of books and comics, in addition to an on-site bar, Atomic…read moreBooks may be your destination. Located in the Hampden section of Bmore, Atomic Books would easily satisfy the inner book nerd in you (*raises hand...). Upon entering, the ambiance was chill with music playing over the speaker with just enough volume to not get in the way of perusing the incredible book collection. The books are sectioned according to genre, which makes for ease in looking for a specific topic. They have a magazine section as well with titles you won't find in an ordinary newsstand (a magazine titled "Bomb"?.... I'm impressed). The cost of the books varied, but was not so to bust your budget. They also have a selection of comic books in addition to t-shirts and items with the Atomic Books logo. The staff were pleasant and customers who came in seemed to be locals supporting a great small business. I liked that. And don't forget I mentioned a bar....located in the rear....serving adult libations. Can you imagine yourself purchasing a favorite book and settling in at one of the seats in the bar sipping on your favorite drink? Or playing the video game back there? I could and would have...if I had the time! All in all, a cool neighborhood bookstore/bar to chill out, grab a book, and a drink.

All the books were reasonably priced, and service was quick and efficient when checking out. We had time to kill before a dinner reservation nearby so we walked in to see if we could find a book to bring with us to the beach. After searching through the shelves and seeing all that Atomic Books has to offer, my husband and I both found something that piqued our interest. I love shopping small and supporting local, and Atomic Books has classic Baltimore charm mixed with the unique punk vibes of Hamden. The next time I'm around grabbing a bite, I think I'll stop in and buy another book to enjoy.

While walking around DC, during a weekend trip, I made a stop at this location. I love comics,…read moremanga, and graphic novels, so stumbling upon this cute little shop was perfect. Even better is the sale that was going on for the whole month of July in celebration of their anniversary! Overall, the shop was clean, bright, easy to peruse, had a really great selection of new acquisitions and older staples. I really appreciated the extensive horror section. The music playlist had great vibes, and the woman behind the counter was very personable and friendly. I left the shop with a graphic novel, manga (recommended by staff), a tote bag, sticker, and a single issue comic. Can't wait to visit again one day! **Note: The stairs leading to the front entrance of the shop might make this location inaccessible for some folks.

What a charming new and used bookstore in fed hill. I've seen this store for years and years and…read morenever stopped in. But I was in the area checking out a new vintage store and thought I'd pop in. Retail is kind of dying in this area, but book escape was thriving. There were lots of people in there browsing and reading. There's a really cute back area with a mermaid mural and a reading nook. There's a lot of brand new books sold at 15% off, which are among the best sellers list. I thought in this economy - what a steal of a deal that is! The front desk is right around the front corner and the owner seemed nice. There's a huge selection of music in the corner and I thought that for a used bookstore, it was really well organized. It is a little clustered, but overall really bright and airy and lots of books!

The Book Escape is moderate in size. It has a well organized assortment of books and LP's. We enjoyed our time there and ended up with two books and a record album. But had we had more time (we spent maybe 45 minutes) we could easily have arrived upon another 5 or 6 title we just HAD to read. Loved the setting, loved the street parking, and loved the store.
