What an amazing place. Redlands which is a mecca for creative, intuitive, intelligent, open-minded, artistic, giving, soul seeking and the adventurous spirits - this place is fantastic and can satisfy a graphic novel or comic book fan for hours. For such a small store it has an incredible selection and for the store to let me take this many photos just shows their willingness to be open to the public and share the creativity of all these wonderful artists and amazing creative spirits that make everything they have to offer. Clean and a welcoming atmosphere the novice (myself) can explore and be astounded by world never known or imagined, the expert (I think of ComicBookGirl19 - think she might love this place) can be glad to know there is a place that expands the mind of children and adults and feel they can find what they are looking for in such a limited market. Redlands is an amazing place and this just adds to it's spectacular array of one in a lifetime places to discover. Great staff working that day and store packed with people. Redlands offers stores like this and record stores and wonderful restaurants in the area to draw people from all over Southern California. No wonder they call Redlands "the jewel of the Inland Empire" this is definitely one of the jewels. Comic book and graphic novel fans will make this their home for many years to come. Hope photos show a bit of what they have to offer. The store and staff so welcoming and knowledgeable and willing to help and provide assistance - a very free spirit energy place with so much to see and learn about. Redlands is sure to become the new destination for creative artists and musicians and writers worldwide. It's a one of a kind place and so is this wonderful store. Come and see...

Shops of the past seemed to have lots of product as well as boxes and boxes of old stock. This place didn't but did have a lot of comic related figures and graphic novels. Of course, right out front featured what I hear is killing the comic industry; female superheros with a side of social justice. I've followed some people who review these and the stories are just unusual for comics. I think these comics are trying to target a market that just doesn't exist, and sales show it. So, for a shop to push product that the fans don't want to buy, I suspect their time in business...
Read moreOne my favorite shops, been coming since I was a teenager but unfortunately I came with my boyfriend today and he was wearing a nirvana shirt that had a design of a woman with her breast exposed and one of the two cashiers claimed it was inappropriate for him to wear it?

I’m very disappointed and honestly feel upset for my boyfriend because he admires nirvana deeply and Kurt’s anniversary of his passing was just a few days ago and it...
