“Great comic book store!”

Fantastic Comics opened its doors May 1, 2011, with an emphasis on a clean, inviting environment, a friendly, knowledgeable staff, and the desire to keep the comic book culture in Berkeley alive. Our goal is to make everyone a fan of comic books, and have current fans of comic books leave their comfort zone and read things they’ve never thought to read before. To do this, we’ve decided not to segregate comic books by their category, instead sorting everything by their title. At Fantastic Comics we truly believe in comic books as an art form, and as literature. Comic books engage the reader as no other format can, whether it be a movie, play, television program, or even a book. At Fantastic Comics we wish to enlighten the world to all the possibilities that comic books can bring to peoples lives.
