The Comic Bug, Inc. — Attraction in Manhattan Beach

The Comic Bug is a great little comic book store in Manhattan Beach. Parking is easy on the street and the place is on Manhattan Beach Blvd. so it is hard to miss.

The place is spotless and there are a lot of tables for people to sit and actually read the comics if they want. How nice of them.

The staff is great. They know comics, all of them. They know where they are and what type you need based on the questions you ask. I know nothing of comic books and my grandson has a few communication issues, so I really needed help to get my grandson the comics he would like. He is not a collector, so he will read and toss them.

They have the expensive comic books, hard cover comics and all sorts of collector things. This little place has really everything.

The staff talked to my grandson and were so patient with him. They saw he was with his Bubbie and they know we spend money, but instead of showing stuff beyond his abilities, they directed him to the huge one dollar collection. My grandson was in heaven because he got to pick out a few instead of one. He was so happy with his selection.

I just love this place and we will be back, even though it is a drive for...

I came in for an MTG prerelease as a new player. Since I'm not collecting, I really only wanted a good experience out of the event. I was disappointed this wasn't the case.

Well before the prerelease started, I chatted with Caleb and said it was my first event. Despite this, he didn't mention that I had to register for the event, even after reserving a spot and paying.

Knowing I am a new player, this conversation was Caleb's chance to let me know that registration is required in addition to paying (I even offered to pay early, which he declined).

He also didn't mention it even after everyone had finished paying and registering. Again, knowing that you have new players, this should have been a cue to announce that players need to also register.

Because of not registering, I was automatically given a loss for the first round, which ruined the spirit of the event for me.

As a Mom and Pop store, this shop's advantage would come from exceptional customer service, not competitive prices. Unfortunately, this store failed to provide great service, and as a result, I don't have...

What can I say except it's an absolutely glorious local comic book/collector's shop with an absolutely amazing staff that are genuine and always happy to see us. My sons are avid collectors of Pokemon cards and during the Pandemic, when the cards proved extremely difficult to find, they always had a healthy stock with a wide variety of series and single cards that can buy, to reduce the "gambling" aspect when buying cards for your kids. Their collectible action figure section is so well organized (in fact the whole store is), but what really makes it a unique experience is their fresh and overall on fire selection. There are a lot of collectible toys out there, but they consistently seem to bring in an overwhelmingly awesome amount of good inventory, some of the best I've ever seen, and at very reasonable prices. The staff quickly came to recognize us and greet us personally every time we visit, and they acknowledge and express their appreciation for our support of their store. 5...
