This comic shop, nestled right in the outskirts of all the renovations happening in DTSS, is a little slice of what Fenton Street used to be. It doesn't draw the gentrified crowds that are migrating to Silver Spring these days, but a more devout group of comic-lovers. Any time of day that you come you will find avid comic book junkies in the aisles checking out the wares. The store is somewhat small, but they have a good selection of classics and the serials in the basement. (Just be careful about bringing kids down here; you might have to shield their eyes from graphic drawings every other comic.) Upstairs there are more kid-friendly comics, including Calvin and Hobbs books and various comic-related toys. Also, check local listings because this comic store participates in Free Comic Day every year!
