Bedrock Comics — Local services in Framingham

I love this place. It's small and slightly cramped, but they've got all things comic books. Where a lot of comic book stores have really become more comic/gaming/novelty store, this one has stuck true to the traditional comic store. They are quite literally wall to wall to wall comics and comic paraphernalia. They get new stuff in all the time, so it's always a treasure hunt going in there, and the prices ($.50-$5 modern) comics and reasonable prices (compare to ebay sold listings) for the silver age/key issues.

I've been able to restart my X-Men Silver age comic collection thanks to this store.

The staff: Extremely friendly, helpful, and treat you like they've known you for years. They are also always extremely grateful for the business they get. I'm usually apprehensive about comic stores as I grew up in a time where the stereotypical Simpson's Comic Guy was the norm, but I immediately liked this place.

The selection: Like I said, they get new stuff in all the time and I mean literally all the time. So you'll always find something new.

Non-Comic Items: They have a good selection of hero statues, posters, and action figures, but again, they're all comic-related.

Location: Right off of Route 9 (West side) in Framingham. VERY easy to find. Very nice prime location.

Gripes: Um... well nothing is perfect, and the two MINOR downsides that don't even merit a star reduction: Clutter, it's a small store and with the moving merchandise, there are a lot of boxes that the staff is trying to sort through. This is really not even a problem as the staff is usually right there to move them if you want to see something that's being blocked, they also go to great lengths to make as accessible as possible. Again, this is a minor issue that's more the result of the store size than anything.

Organization, so this store is a lot better about it than many others I've seen... and I mean really better as some stores throw their comics in boxes and expect you to sift through hundreds of comics to find what you want without an alphabetization or series separators. They do have everything alphabetized and organized, but again, probably because of the amount of stuff moved around, you will find superman in the X-Men fields and some Wolverines that, for the life of you, you have no idea why they're in Fantastic Four's section. Again, minor. Go there and dig, you'll find something to your liking every time.

Summation: As I said above, I love this store. Since the last free comic day, my wife and I have frequented the place. I'd say roughly 90% of our comics came from there and didn't cost us much at all. Even if I go there looking for something specific, I can honestly say that I've never left...

They have a huge selection of new comics, a great selection of statues, t-shirts, back issues, action figures, and more. The store sells comic bundles too. I wish more places were smart enough to do that. You can get an entire storyline that way for a very reasonable price. They really are great with their prices there. Also, they always have a great selection of key issues on the wall behind the register. Some really great first appearances and high end comics. I love the boxes of beautiful, silver age comics too. I'm not from the area but I have always stopped in when I'm in town. I first went there in 2003. The guys there have always been great with their customer service. I've never left empty handed. It's a small store packed with a...

Only complaint I have is how cramped it is in the store, but that being said, it's well worth the lack of space, because that space is used very well. The amount they have in stock speaks to the reason behind the narrow aisles/space around bins and shelves. I would suggest checking these guys out if you're looking for a particular comic, or other related items, because they seem to have it all. When I spoke with the guy at the desk, he informed me that even if they don't have something, they do get new stock in fairly frequently, and they can always keep an eye out if I had particular requests. Would very...
