Forbidden Planet, named after the Sci-Fi classic of the same name, has been a mainstay in the comic book culture of New York City.

Forbidden Planet has been on Broadway near 13th Street since 2012 selling books, comics, collectibles, poster and action figures. If you can’t get to their store, you can follow the blog, The Daily Planet, where they review and interview novelists and comic creators. Located at 832 Broadway.
