Pulp Fiction

Coolest bookstore I’ve ever been to. A plethora of books and graphic novels from local artists and authors, incredible selection of classics, children’s books, and coffee table books. An easy 1 hour + trip to the bookstore.

Pulp Fiction is by far the best comic store in Culver City, and I’ve been to all of them. I’ve come here for over a year now and the service I’ve had has always been the best. As a younger reader (compared to most) that is something I really appreciate. I feel very comfortable there, and Ive never been hurried or mistrusted. Staff does their best to meet all my needs and will make amazing recommendations based on what they genuinely think I will like, not just to promote undersold books (as I have experienced elsewhere). Their inventory is amazing and vast quantities of $ 1 books make it great to bring my younger siblings who always want something when we go.
I recently moved about 40 minutes away from Culver City, but I happily make the commute. If you’re hesitant to come based on bad reviews, I highly encourage you to just drop by and say hi. Ask about a book. About the store. Heck, just strike up a random conversation. You’ll see what I mean.
Outstanding job guys, keep up the great work.

The best comic book shop I’ve been to in CA. Generous discounts on all titles and the organization makes it easy to find anything. The staff is knowledgable, helpful, and recognizes the regulars. There’s a huge area filled with $ 1 comics as well. You know a place is good if you rather go to the location rather than Amazon.

Went back and it was a 100% turnaround. Scored some really great deals on tpb’s, and found some gems in the $ 1 bins too. Clean store, HUGE selection. Nice dude behind the counter. Will be back again!

Pulp Fiction Culver is simply… the best.
To start, they have the craziest 24÷7÷365 discount policy on trades I have ever seen. Its 40% off for all new Marvel & DC & Vertigo, 30% off for Image & Darkhorse and 20% off for everything else. I mean that is crazy!!! After going there for a while the idea of paying full price seems like a terrible, distant memory! lol. Also, if you start a pull with them you get up to a 25% discount on all your new single issues. The % of discount is tiered based on how much you are pulling. Seriously great.
On top of that, the place is so well stocked. They have pretty much everything you could want as long as it is in print. And if they don’t have it they are more than willing to try and hunt it down or order it for you if it is available. They have organized events and author signings and book clubs.
Also, the folks there are majorly cool. Ryan is the best. He can come across as a little quiet at first. But to me, I really appreciate a store that lets you shop without being pushers or being all up in your grille if you don’t want their advice. But if you engage him, he is super nice and friendly. I’ve been «caught» in the store for ages just chatting it up with him about something that I’m excited about. Oh and that guy knows so much about comics and recommends the BEST STUFF. Trust me. Their new clerk, Marie, is really awesome, knowledgeable and friendly too.
It may not be the most festively decorated store. But they 99% will have what you are looking for, are friendly and knowledgeable and have an insane discount that is impossible to beat.
Thinking about visiting Pulp Fiction Culver City? DO IT!

Since this comic shop was a 3 of 5, I am just going to put bullet points:
1. They charge for the bags and boards. So far, this is the only store to do so from Pasadena to Carson.
2. There was a $ 10 minimum on using my debit card.
3. The variants seemed a little high vs other store across LA. In one week, I covered Pasadena, Silverlake, West LA, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach and Carson.
4. Staff was lukewarm at greeting and above average at going out of his way to help.

I just called in to see if they had a comic book available as it was sold out at the comic book shop that I normally go to. The person over the phone told me that they did and when I asked if he could hold an issue for me, he told me no. Only customers who have a pull list (meaning you pretty much have to make regular purchases) can have comics put on hold.
I asked him how many issues they had left and he laughed and said, «I don’t know, maybe 5 or 10 so you should come in as soon as you can». No thanks. With that kind of attitude, I’ll just wait to see if The Comic Bug gets more issues in as they DO hold comic books for you without hassle.

Cool comic book store with plenty good reads! I liked the variety in books, comics, and graphic novels. They could use a collection of figures bigger than the one they have now. I was surprised not to have found a bin of posters for one to damage through. Shame, I always buy one at places like these.
Pretty organized place. Friendly staff. Drop in if you’re in the area.

I was a little worried about going as past reviews mentioned less than friendly staff and discount adjustments based on how you pay.
However I had a great experience. I bought three books and paid part cash part card and didn’t phase the staff. They also offered to make a deal on a statue I was interested in based on its current availability. I left happy with some great finds and plan to be back.

Great selection. Friendly people. Really helpful staff for people like me who know nothing of comic books and are just getting into the craft.

Very knowledgeable + friendly folks. They have TONS of comics. I went in informing the guy at the counter that I was collecting all 17 of the Fire and Stone series and he informed me that they are coming out in a full book and then discussed with me how has a video on YouTube about the subject. This place is awesome.

Really great shop for avid comic collectors. They are pretty well stock. They have a large inventory of trade paperbacks and always discount you 40% off for marvel/​dc ones. And they have a big dollar bin collection, only thing it’s not organized. Great place to shop for someone and get a great discount.

Neat little store. It’s in the middle of the street but you can either pay for street parking, find a spot in the residential area, or be lucky enough to 1 of the three free parking spaces in the back that is really hard to park in lol. Anywho, very neat. Not too much design to it. They have a table full of $ 1 comics if you have the patience. I got a couple of those, avengers vol 1, and a star war series. «Bald, glasses guy» was very nice to me. The books are always on a discount. They take cards. It’s very quiet though.

from the bald eye-​glassed cashier to the manager, place went downhill in the span of a year.
grab the niche, ditch the fish?
long story, short. i checked out a few books, cashier allowed the guy behind me cut in front of me after I asked him for a specific title and he kinda brushed it off like he didnt wanna show me. anyways, while ringing up my books, he inspected each one, almost like he was making judgements in his head toward my selections. i am sorry, i do not want to feel judged when i reach the sales desk and purchase my books. i thought the whole message behind the comic book community was to support and stop-​in your local comic book shop. not feel like im going to confession.
i don’t get it. place was nice and customer-​friendly a year ago. it has turned into an underground snobby comic clique.
its jus comic books, get over yourself.

Pulp Fiction is bigger than I thought it would be. I came here this weekend to sell some old comics. Didn’t really get too much from them though. Just $ 4 but I didn’t really bring a ton of comics in.
It was more of a great opportunity to check out the store and see what they had.
There was a young gentleman working at the store when I was here over the weekend. He seemed pretty nice and laid back.
The store had more than just comics. They also had hardcover and paperback books. And you can also sell your books here in addition to your comics.
They had the old stuff and the new stuff. As well as things that weren’t what you’d think when you think of comics like Star Wars, Dr. Who, Adventure Time, Regular Show, even My Little Pony.
Also, Pulp Fiction sells toys like Marvel Figures and those cute Funko Pop toys.
It’s a pretty cool store.
Parking: I didn’t check to see if there was parking in the back, or if you could park in the neighborhood since we found parking right in front. It’s was metered parking but free on Sundays.

Great comic shop. Good deals and such a friendly staff. I drove from Glendale to visit this shop and they were nothing but friendly and helpful. If yout live near the area or just want to check out a great comic shop, stop by pulp fiction!

I was on the hunt for an xmas gift for my other half… predominantly anything by Moebius… it’s his favorite artist.
I called Dream World Comics first and the guy literally laughed in my face, «Don’t you know he died? We have nothing, and pretty much no one will.» Of course I know Jean Girard passed away, but that doesn’t change the fact that I am looking for something specific. Negative a million points Dream World Comics. Negative. A million points. And a customer.
Back to the good good.
5 stars, Pulp Fiction!
…And not just because the white dude in glasses is a cutie. He knows his stuff!
He showed me quite a few different pieces AND recommended other comic stores to check out. I bought a beautiful little piece and left extremely happy.
When I got home, I looked up the other stores the cute Pulp Fiction guy recommended AND HOLY SHIZA… I’m impressed and found a bunch more books that are perfect.
Muchos kudos pulp fiction. This wasn’t my first time coming in and it definitely wont be my last.

Best comic book store in the Los Angeles area. I have visited all of them and this one is the best or close to the best. The amazing thing is that they sell every day all TPB and HC with huge discounts: 40% off Marvel and DC, 30% off Image and Dark Horse, 20% off anything else. And they have almost every title in stock, including Omnibii and Masterworks!!!
But they don’t sell just collected editions. They also have monthly titles and they are super organized! This place is definitely highly recommended!

Pulp Fiction has arrived in Culver City!
This is the second Pulp Fiction in the Los Angeles Area-​ish, the other one is in Long Beach. The one thing to know about Pulp Fiction is their all time graphic novel sale. 40% off all DC, Marvel and Vertigo, 30% off Image and Dynamite, 20% off everything else.
Graphic novels are the best and easiest ways to read comics and this is the one place you can go where you know you won’t pay full price and get exactly the book you need. The customer service is a little lacking and their organization can be a little off, but there are too many deals to be had here!
They participated in Free Comic Book Day and the workers were very helpful during the time. Want something new to read to pass the time? Want to finally get into Walking Dead? Pulp Fiction makes it easy and cheap to do so!

I am so happy to have a friendly, local
Comic book store. So many times when I go into comic book shops with my 7 year old son they want to hustle us out as soon as possible. That is why our experience at Pulp Fiction was so great. The man working there was clearly busy setting up shop (this was at the beginning of May) but he took the time to show us around and talked to us about the different comics. He explained the discounts given on different graphic novels and then left us to look. My son had a great time and we were happy to buy some books and support local business.
When we returned for Free Comic Book Day we brought along food for the food drive they were doing (which was a really nice idea) and the staff was doing an amazing job of circulating around and answering questions.
All in all a great store.
