The Comic Bug is located near the busy intersection of Manhattan Beach and Aviation boulevards. In June 2004, owners Jun, Mike and Adam put their collective passion for comic books into creating this store. Along with popular serial comics and graphic novels, the store carries a large selection of independent titles, trade paperbacks, action figures, games, DVDs and T-shirts. Customers can feel free to hang out on a couch and sip a soda while reading. Frequent events are held in the shop, including release parties, concerts, comedy, fund raisers and signings with names like Geoff Johns, Marv Wolfman, Tim Sale, Bryan Lee O'Malley and Stan Lee.
