What is the comic book store in Big Bang Theory called?

The comic book store in The Big Bang Theory is called the Comic Center of Pasadena.

The store is owned and run by Stuart Bloom, a recurring character played by Kevin Sussman. Leonard, Sheldon, Howard, and Raj regularly visit it to buy comics, discuss superheroes, play games, and meet other fans. Although the characters usually call it “the comic book store,” its full name appears on the shop’s signage and is mentioned in the series.

The Comic Center is also the setting for several memorable storylines. In the season 3 episode “The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary,” the group visits the store while competing over rare collectibles. Later, the shop burns down in the season 7 finale, “The Status Quo Combustion.” It is subsequently rebuilt with financial help from Howard’s mother, Debbie Wolowitz.

A common mix-up is confusing Stuart’s store with Capitol Comics, a rival comic shop referenced in the series. The fictional store is also not the same as any real Pasadena comic shop; it was created for the show and filmed on Warner Bros. sets.
