Galaxy Of Comics

I love going here. I always get great service and I they always have cool things to look at.

Good selection, very friendly staff. This is the kind of local business you should support.

A great little comic book shop. Hidden nests to a herbal healing shop and a tatto parlor. Warren the owner is very friendly and will assist you in anything that you need. Also holds a lot of events to promote ppl to read and enjoy comics which not a lot of people do which is amazing!!!

Super cute little place. The comics were organized in a way that made sense to me, and they seemed to have a good variety. They even have a ladies night where they give discounts. It’s nice to see a place that values their female customers.

Went there with my daughter, and I must say, I was really impressed. Impressed with the friendliness of the staff and owner, impressed with the ambiance of the store, and impressed with the collection of comics they have. It’s free comic book day today, so we got our five free comics, and my daughter bought several back issues she was looking for. Like another young woman said, my daughter was treated nicely as some comic book places only cater to the guy nerds. Here, they cater to everyone and made young and old feel welcome. We will definitely be back here again!

The owner is friendly, the store has limited back issues, AND the owner will order stuff for you if they don’t have it I love this place it would be my home store if it was easier for me to get to i cant say enough great things about them no matter what, worth a visit even if just to look around.

Loved this store, super friendly and helpful staff. I found some issues of bee and puppycat that have been haunting me for a while. Love this place and i will definitely be making return visits. They also have some cool collectables.

Small shop. Like someone else said, a lot of heart. Great friendly service. Some back issues. A good amount of graphic novels. Nice bargain bins and discounted graphic novel racks. You never know what you’ll come across! Owner is friendly and happy to help every time I’ve been in. I get my current stuff elsewhere but Galaxy is my #2 shop in the area!

Love this place very helpful if they didnt have it they ordered it right away, great environment as well

This is what a Comic Shop should be. Great place to come and «Nerd» out. Warren and his staff are always ready to talk comics and make you feel welcome. I have been coming here since they opened and will remain loyal. The only way to describe this place is that it’s the «Cheers» of Comic Shops. I’ve been to spots all over LA and this is the one I feel most comfortable at. AND my daughter LOVES this place.

Excellent store. I visited the store for the first time today (Sunday ¹⁄₁₉) right when it opened. The employee (possibly owner) was very friendly with great taste in music!!! Prices were very competitive to the other stores I’ve been to in the SoCal area.
I was able to go home with Dark Knight Returns Books 3 and 4 at a very reasonable price.
The ONLY 2 things keeping this place from a 5-​star rating is 1) the lack of bronze and copper age back issues AND 2) was not able to verify if 2 comics I was interested in were 1^st printings or not.
I’ll definitely be returning this store many times in the future. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL COMIC BOOK STORES!!!

The comic book shop itself is pretty great. They have a lot if cool stuff and some good deals. Only thing I didn’t like here was the girl working the counter. There was no greeting and no asking if I’d like help. When I did ask about the free comic book event taking place in October (which there’s a sticker at the door saying they are participating in) she had no idea what u was taking about. Was just reading her book and eating her subway instead of asking if I needed anything. Not sure if I’d come back here on the day she us working again

I wish I lived closer to Van Nuys, if only so we are able to come to this comic book store on a weekly basis. We happened to be in the area, and I had looked up Unilocal!reviews on other comic book stores to see if we had a great one around here. This was the closest, so when we had to go to Van Nuys, we stopped off here. We were not disappointed.
The comic selection is really nice, and we were very happy with it. We had just been to our local comic book store the day before, and our store didn’t have a lot of the comics that Galaxy of Comics has. We were very pleasantly surprised. They also had a large selection of action figures and collectibles, which makes it a great, all-​around store for just about any fan/​collector. I think my only complaint on the comics is that there were a bunch of comics in boxes on the floor (the past issues) and it’s very hard for me to get down on the floor to look through boxes, so I was unable to take my time and go through them to find some treasures. It would be nice if those were kept up a little higher for us old timers :)
The staff (well, there was only one guy there, so we can only comment on him) was fantastic. He was so nice and knew what he was talking about. Other customers that came in were treated just as well. One of his «regulars» came in and he greeted the customer by name. That’s just awesome and I wish we had such great service at our local comic book store. If we are ever in or near Van Nuys again, we will make it a point to come here.

Small with a lot of heart. The staff here is awesome! Their fcbd sales were dope too. They had a big collection of comics even tho the store was small.

This is pretty much the best comic book shop in the San Fernando Valley. Everyone who works there is so nice and approachable. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m a girl, or maybe it’s the fact that I look younger than I am but I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been talked down to at a comic book store. Galaxy of Comics is not like that at all.
They love when new readers come into their shop because, unlike other stores, they want to spread to coolness and knowledge of the comic book world. Any questions you have about anything will be answered here. They have an excellent selection of books, trades, and hardcovers. Not to mention their array of collectible figures.
They also have more sales than any other comic book store I’ve ever seen. They have sales for a good amount of holidays throughout the year and also hold awesome raffles.
Now, if you, the reader, have read my reviews before, you know that I go off on a tangent sometimes about parking. So here it goes, the parking here is not that big. The good part though, is that the establishments around it, are not as busy as Galaxy of Comics itself. I’ve never once had a problem with finding parking when I come here.
Bottom Line: If you could only go to one comic book shop in the SFV, let it be this one. It’s definitely worth it.

Of course my neighborhood comic store gets 5 stars… this place is awesome! The staff are cool and willing to help. I’m not a comic book fan (at least not since the 80’s) however I’m always comfortable coming here to buy something as a gift. They have a great selection and great recommendations.
They also have some good events! I actually got Len Wein to sign a Wolverine #2 for a bud of mine’s son (Logan) at one of these… very awesome!
You don’t get your normal «comic book guy» type people here… sure these folks love their comics, however they are all down-​to-​earth and not at all elitist. Don’t get me wrong, they are super knowledgeable (as far as this comic noob can tell) and there is the normal crowd of enthusiasts hanging around, however everyone is very friendly and not at all standoffish.
There are plenty of other stores in the valley, however this is my go-​to store… not just because it’s super convenient, I’d drive across the valley to come here. It’s that nice of an experience. My son bought his first comic here, and my kids both went to their first «Free Comic Book Day» here. It’s got a place in my heart.
Protip: Parking is an issue… they have a lot but it SUCKS. Park on the street and hoof it in, you’ll thank me for it.

This is a fantastic little comic shop!
The store is fairly small, and I did walk in with very little expectation when I saw how small the shop is from the parking lot. They carry a vast selection of comics and graphic novels as well as some pretty cool collectibles and some pretty cool T-​shirts. I was highly impressed with that store that I didn’t even realize we were in here for almost an hour. I didn’t notice how much time I spent checking out some Batman stuff they had (Secret is out, that’s my favorite Comic Character). My Girlfriend liked the Harley Quinn figures on Display. Along with Batman, they also had plenty of Walking Dead stuff, which I just got my girlfriend hooked on watching the show. Also, there is a neat table in the center of the store with many comics with Discounted prices (75%). This table also had a pretty good selection of books.
I was also impressed with the cool little display in the back with the horror creatures (Frankenstein, the Bride, etc).
They guy behind the counter (Sorry, I forgot his name) was really cool and helpful as well as very knowledgeable with everything we asked or inquired about.
By the end, I only got a Sentinel Squad ONE graphic novel though I do see myself coming back as a future customer… though not sure as both my girlfriend and I don’t live in the local area.

Setting the scene:
I hop out of my little jellybean car with Jason O. (On another one of our comic book journeys.) and what do we see right next to the store but a Tattoo parlor! And sitting in front of this parlor are 5 tough looking tatted up dudes with their motorcycles. All of them smoking’ and loitering and whatnot. O_​o (Have any of you seen any James Dean films? THAT sort of loitering but without the allure.) I felt a smooch better once we made it inside.
Now actual review:
Once inside I was greeted by one of the nicest cashier people I’ve met at almost any comic book store! (I didn’t catch his name so i wasn’t sure he was the owner) He was quick to start talking to me (Which is rare for girl in comic book stores in the first place unless you’re a regular) and just very nice in general. Very courteous and polite. He even let me know that he has parties and other get-​togethers at his store and invited me to come on down for a Walking Dead party they are having soon. (Sounds super fun and I just might go!)
There is a really cool work studio with all sorts of neat drawings in the back. Mostly done with pencil but the pictures are just posted up EVERYWHERE of all sort of different comic book characters! I really enjoyed it.
Their trade paperback selection is pretty good! A little small but the stuff they do have looks interesting. I didn’t even get a chance to look at their back issues because I had already two things in my hand that would add up close to $ 30 and didn’t want to be tempted. (Hence the reason for the 4 star. Don’t know everything about their selection.)
I will for sure be coming back more often. Once I get a better feel for the place I’ll update (Yes, it will probably be a 5 star.)
SIDE NOTE: Their parking lot is TINY! Just be aware of that going in and your fine.

Friendly, organized and well stocked. It doesn’t get much better than that.
They even offer comic book art classes! WHAT? AWESOME! Just visit and inquire about it. I sure did.
I visited several local comic book shops during this year’s «Free Comic Book Day» and can honestly say I had the BEST time at GoC. :)
Definitely making this shop my regular stop. And it being close to my work is a plus. ;D Thanks for being awesome!!!

Comic book stores are weird entities. Rarely are two stores ever alike, and the store owners tend to fit rather distinct moulds such as «guy who keeps vintage comics in the back so no one can see them,» «guy who abjectly refuses to sell the latest Iron-​Man to a nine year-​old because he won’t ‘get it’,» and «guy who’s easy to get along with and just wants to share his love of comics.»
GoC’s staff all easily fit into the latter mould. They’re very friendly, helpful, courteous, and they don’t mind you ripping off their ears and boot-​stomping them into a fine paste if they happen to not have a particular book you were looking for. They’ll happily order it in, although they may ask you for a ride to the ER afterwards.
If I need comics, this is my go-​to store.
