Fantasy Book Inc in Belleville, IL

It's fine. I used to come here every single week back in the early 2000's and they would hold whatever books I had asked for. I've spent many thousands of dollars here in the past. Times and have changed for me. I only collect pre-code comics now and I didn't see a single one here.

Fantasy Books & Games has friendly staff and are always quick to help someone new to a hobby. Let it be you are jumping into a new comic series, card game, or some other fandom, the staff will NEVER degrade you with a "what a noob" response.

This is a lovely place!! Its clean and bright and you don't have to worry about the 'nerd funk' that seems to happen to a lot of shops that have back rooms for gaming. The setup is easy to follow although it can be a little cramped if you have to use a wheelchair or mobility devices.

I use to visit this store all the time as a kid so I was thrilled to see they're still in this location after all these years! I wish I could remember who helped me because they were so nice and knowledgeable. Just getting back into Pokemon TCG and they got me all set up!
