Atom Comics
There is a moment (in fact, several) when boys and girls feel older.
They no longer want to read
El Pollo Pepe
or
The House of Mice
, but rather get excited about things that they consider more sophisticated.
For this, stores like Atom Cómics are the solution.
Although they also present a varied assortment of predominantly children's publications,
their wide catalog of youth and adult publications makes the visit enjoyable for both infants and adults
, who can also discover the novelties of the ninth art or recover classics from their childhood with Asterix, Tintin, Spiderman or Mortadelo.
The pleasant treatment of his dependents, led by
Daniel Aubareda
and focused on dissemination,
contributes to all of this
, with the organization of presentations, round tables and podcasts such as
Highly Illogical
or
Krypton Camp
.
Address:
Calle Fuencarral 134 and Fernán González 14.
