Atomic age is probably like most comic book stores. The store itself is very kid friendly and has a special childrens section that is filled with all ages books that are at reduced prices.We also put a real emphasis on reading comics rather than collecting them. One way we do that is by not putting our comics into our back issue bins until we absolutely have to. As a result, people can sometimes pick up the last six issues of a title off of the rack and still pay cover price for them.Bottom line, we do our best to make sure you get a good product at a fair price.more...See more text
“I learned to give back to the community from my dad,” says owner of Atomic Age Comics, Gene Lee. “We never had a lot, but he always did what he could to help people. I try to do the same through the store.”
This philanthropic pledge can be found in the range of of activities Gene offers at his store. He auctions off comics for local schools and routinely drops off extras at the local kids’ clinic. Community is important to Gene; he not only works in the area, he and his wife Adrienne and their two children live here as well. “There are comic book stores with an emphasis on collecting and mine focuses more on readers,” Gene explains. "I do get costumers who collect, but we don't push the collectable aspect of an item. We try to keep prices fair and customers happy."
You can pick up all the latest big name comics from the US plus graphic novels and collectible cards at AtomicAge. Gene is always adding to the kids' section as well, bringing in toys to complement comics already stocked. If there’s something you want that isn’t stocked at Atomic Age, Gene will search for it online and only charge you what he gets charged if you want him to bring it in.
