on pape in between gerrard and the danforth.
(where?)
you know, on the east end, near greektown.
(wheres gerrard? pape? is that in the beaches?)
....this might be the dialogue you might be having...understandable if so, because this place is reallly for the neighbourhood folks. itd be great to be a kid living around this neighbourhood and be able to pop into this place after school. its on a street that is mostly residential with some stores on it, but youd have to know the neighbourhood or be a comic fanatic to know of it.
that being said, they have an ample supply of action figures; mainly superheroes are to be found and at prices a bit lower than you might find elsewhere.
its a small place, so theyll have a bit of everything, with a focus on superhero and action comics. but still, there are graphic novels available and the owner is very helpful and easy to talk to. hell also order in issues that you are looking for if you want.
for the sheer convenience, id come here if i knew exactly what i wanted, and because, if the price of the comic is the same as everywhere else (as it usually is) they offer one of those buy 10 get one free (there are conditions of course but the principle still stands).
overall it was a great neighbourhood find and i will be back, especially to get successive issues of the superman comic i bought - if its any good!
Specialties
Atomic age is probably like most comic book stores. We carry hundreds of comics and related toys.
But, what I think sets us apart is our connection to the community and the quality of service we provide.
We take part in several silent auctions and fun fairs to help raise much needed funds for the local schools.
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.
