Founded on January 1, 1980, with a $2,500 credit card and a dream, Things From Another World began as a 400-square-foot store in Bend, Oregon, offering comics and exceptional service. Over 45 years, we've grown into one of the nation's top comic book retailers, with locations in Oregon, Los Angeles, and online. From manga and graphic novels to collectibles and pop culture treasures, our mission has always been to provide a diverse selection and take great care of our customers. Celebrate 45 years of fandom with us!
