Atomic Books
Baltimore, Maryland
It doesn't matter if you're looking for underground comics, interesting books, new music, off-beat movies, or desk-worthy toys — Atomic Books has you covered. Opened in its current form in 2001, it offers all of the above from its Hampden neighborhood location, but not in some mindless matter — everything here's been carefully curated by the owners and staff, and as such you can trust that your dollars are being well spent. But don't take our word for it: listen to John Waters, who likes the place so much he lets them collect his fan mail.
