Frank & Son Collectible Show

Though it’s not exactly a comic book shop, and it’s not really in Los Angeles, the City of Industry’s Frank & Son is a unique and wonderful anomaly worth inclusion on this list. A large, nondescript warehouse in a commercial area near the railroad tracks, the most esoteric comics and collectible merchants from three counties gather under one roof for a few hours each week. Think of Frank & Son as a miniature, semi-permanent comic book convention: tables and booths in the humongous space are rented out to diverse sellers specifically hawking comic books and graphic novels, toys, sports memorabilia and the unusual, often at deep discounts. Before you make the trek to the City of Industry, keep in mind that Frank & Son is only open Saturdays and Wednesday afternoons.
