Ive been going to Bell book and comic for about 10 years at this point. I can say hands down that its my favorite comic book store. Not only do they stock all the hot new Comics that come out every week, but they have an extensive section of back issues. Theyre also fully stocked on Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon cards if youre into that sort of thing. My two favorite sections of the store are the novel room and a section of tabletop RPG books. You can find all manner of sci-fi fantasy and horror novels for ludicrously low prices. Many of them are hard to find. And as for the RPG books? They stock all the newest products, and have quite a selection of used vintage books from previous game systems. If you get to know the owner Pete, hes a really great guy and will treat you well.

A great local comic shop! The staff are very knowlegable and friendly; and the atmosphere is very clean, organized and family friendly. They have a great selection of new releases and back issues and are more than happy to special order anything if youre after a more obscure title. Convenient for me in its location, but Id be willing to drive from anywhere in the Dayton Metro to give them my business. The discount for being a file customer is also a nice perk for showing loyalty.

Bell Book has a pretty broad selection of new issues and trade paperbacks, as well as a room of back issues. They also have wide variety of board games, MtG cards and HeroClix and D&D minis both single and sealed. Their Annex, located a few doors down, has a plethora of tables to play on. The staff is friendly and mostly knowledgeable, but if you prefer a certain game, its helpful to go when the appropriate subject matter expert is in.

A fun place to feed your comics habit! A nice, well-run comic shop. The staff is very nice and helpful. You could spend days looking through the extensive collection of back issues, all of which are expertly bagged and boarded. Every inch of this place is covered with comics, toys, cards, posters, and other fun collectibles. The owner, Peter, knows exactly where each and every item is. I will definitely be back when I am in the area!

Great little store. Tons of comics, ridiculously huge selection of MTG and similar card games. Munchkin games, figures for D&D and warhammer and others. They also have a calendar of events on their website if you wanna see prerelease dates or game times and local championship matches for card games. Theyve got to much to list in a review. Staff is great. Go here and it will become your new destination for all things nerd!

One of my favorite FLGSs. Good selection of board games in the back, which on request they will order games for you. Decent selection of Dungeons and Dragons books and accessories from V2 up to V5. They also have a large gaming room next door to the store front which they host MTG events in. No Warhammer or associated hobby supplies at this store though as they are primarily a comic and MTG store from what I can tell.

Had some old Magic cards I hadnt done much with in 20 years. No idea on the value. Went around to a few shops and this was the only one that was honest and straight forward with me about what I had, what they would give me, and what they would retail for. I checked a few things online when I got home and they matched up.

Great comics, and a great staff. Been going here since Hastings closed and only has been a good experience. Its a little more out of the way than other stores, but its worth the extra drive. The owner has also given me some free collectibles (Probably because I spend so much there). Love this place!

The selection is great, the staff is helpful and friendly. I only wish their board games were cheaper. They seem to be marked up the most in the greater Dayton area. That said, I think their prices on MTG cards and comics are pretty fair, so I go for those when I want those kinds of things.

So many good deals on comics and a large game selection, as well. Check out the annex next door for fun gaming events! They have board gaming every other Tuesday and every Friday, as well as Friday night magic. Best comic shop in the Dayton area.

Great comic store with friendly and helpful staff. Newer issues are always in stock and its a good place to look for variant covers. Great selection of post-1980s back issues reasonably priced. Anyone hunting for back issues should try here first.

The store seems to be well stocked and some of the employees were nice. I went there for Free Comic Book Day and one of the employees was very rude to me. I walked in healthy enough but I left with a cough because of the dust and animal hair.

I always enjoy going into Bell. I got into comics fairly recently and tried most of the shops around Bell has by far been the best. Service is friendly, its easy to find the trade and back issues I want. Generally awesome experience

First time I ever came here they were playing Rush on the stereo and the owner was wearing a "Rash" t-shirt, bonus points for that. Theyve got a good selection of everything and everyone is always really helpful and chill.

Nice comic store with a friendly staff. They have lots of league gaming in a large back room and an excellent stock of new books and old. Some board and card gaming in stock and lots of single cards and collectible minis.

Helpful patient staff! First time really playing Pokemon was at their Pokemon New Release event. Everyone, even the other players, was very helpful and patient as I learned during the event. Thanks for an awesome night!

Great place for gamers of all stripes -- good selection of board, card, and RPG games. Comic selection is excellent as well -- the file system allows you to pick up comics when you drop in as theyre released.

Its a good store. Sometimes getting magic singles is difficult because they dont always have someone who knows much about magic there. They have a great selection of toys and comics and magic cards though.

This place has a very good selection of board games at great prices. The staff is friendly, and they even have a neighboring storefront to host events and open gaming nights. Thats fantastic.

This is a great little store with tons of comics, games, and even old science fiction and fantasy books. The discount for the file is great and the people are fantastic. I love this place!

Its a bit of a drive at 2hrs but we go at least twice a year and are never disappointed. Great service, great selection and all in all a great classic comic shop.
