What People Are Saying About Meltdown Comics & Collectibles
Featured Review
Kim Cooper
Contributor
Meltdown's enormous 9,000-square-foot space allows Angelenos to peruse this emporium's vast holdings in comics, illustrated books and new and vintage pop culture toys. The clientele is more literate and less geeky than you'd expect, proving you can't judge a book by its cover. Since 1993, Meltdown has been the premier place to find comics both mainstream and obscure. The selection of European comics and graphic novels is exceptional, as is the alternative/underground department. They're also the only local distributors for the deliciously goofy Japanese toys representing '70s cartoon stars Gon…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Don't miss the Baby Melt boutique in the front of the store; it specializes in classic and unusual children's literature, cool togs for babies and bigger tykes and a groovy selection of fine clothing for teen girls and youthful grownups.

L.A.'s Best Comic Shop, Hands Down
by debaoki at Citysearch
Meltdown is one of the reasons why I love living in L.A. -- it's the best comic shop! A mind-boggling array of collectors toys, old and new greet you as you walk in. Walk in further to this brightly-lit, cheerful and quirky space and you'll find comics and books galore: there's mainstream superhero titles like X-Men and Teen Titans to Japanese manga books, indie comics, graphic novels, cinema/design books and much more. The staff is friendly and always ready to recommend something new and cool. A fun hangout for Hollywood creative types and closet geeks.
- Pros: Great selection, Friendly service, Clean yet quirky
- Cons: Limited parking

This review is for the sparkly-new Mini-Melt location on Los Feliz. I'm pretty excited to finally have hi-quality comics within arm's reach (if you have elastic arms, I guess)...a well-chosen small-scale selection of the same choice reads, cool toys, collectibles + great baby clothes that make Meltdown such a joy.
- Pros: fun stuff!, nicest staff ever
