There are piles of items everywhere. Stuff on tables, walls, under tables, random piles on floors etc. The place is filthy and smells like dust and mothballs. I seriously don't think they own a vacuum or even a broom and dustpan. I'm afraid to imagine the bathroom. I can imagine the owner goes around all week to flea markets and yard sales and buys whatever he thinks he can make a few cents off of and just slaps a sticker on it and chucks it in the store wherever it lands it stays. They are above average in pricing in compared to other stores around the lehigh valley. If you do go where a dust mask to avoid allergies.

Tales of Adventure for a few years had fallen to the second tier of the Allentown metro area comic…read moreshops due to the removal of its quality longboxes. In just my last few visits though, Tales has rebounded significantly. The shop is located south of Allentown, in Coopersburg, and shares it's building with two other businesses. The shop has had several configurations over the years but has been stable for a while now. Walking in, you have various gaming items on the right-hand side of the shop and behind glass counters. Wall book selection is good. New pull selection still feels leaner compared to many shops. In the back of the shop is a good selection of graphic novels. Good news! The organized/semi-organized longboxes are back! Boxes are organized by as priced, $5, and $1 books. Most of the worthless $1 90's independent books are gone, replaced by a huge selection of Marvel and some DC. Over my last few visits, organization of these $1 books has drastically improved. Gaming tables are in the back corner and don't affect the ability to search though longboxes, even with several games ongoing. Overall, I'm glad to see Tales of Adventure moving back in the right direction and it's returned to being one of the Allentown metro areas must stop comic book shops.

JAF (Just Action Figures) Comics is located north of Bethlehem on the Nazareth Pike, in the Trolley…read moreStation Mall. The shop expanded in early 2021 into previously vacant space and now has a new external entrance. Essentially, they moved all the comics and toys into the new space, and converted the old space into a gaming area. This expansion led to the closing of JAF's second location at the Palmer Park Mall, which had quietly become a standout shop for its new pull selection and $1 book bins. The shop has a good selection of new comic books and graphic novels. They have a fair selection of wall books and collectables. Longbox selection wildly varies. While they do have many, the cheaper boxes are located on the floor, making them hard to comfortably access. I wasn't here for the selection of gaming items, so I can't comment on that part of JAF. Staff have been a strong part of JAF, generally being friendly and helpful. JAF for me is challenging to rate, as the "main" store has always been a little average compared to other local shops. It's worth a stop to browse if in the area but going out of the way to come here would be a question. Overall, JAF is a 3.5, but rounding it up to a 4.

Space is large with plenty of room for future growth. Cloud City has a limited selection of new pull comics, but has a large selection of graphic novels. Several bins of longbox comics are located in the center of the shop at various price points. Has some toys and collectables spread throughout the shop. They have a good selection of board gaming and other gaming items. I'm interested to see how this move works out for Cloud City. Lehigh Valley Mall is a good mall with lots of foot traffic. Biggest issue Cloud City has is they are also now in direct competition with the areas highest end comic shop, ComicMasters, which is located in the Whitehall Mall across the street. I'm not sure Cloud City has the product selection to compete. During previous visits at the old location, my friend has often done well in their comic bins, while I did better when they previously had more one-dollar longboxes.

Be aware, that this shop is small, and gets crowded fast if a few people are in it. Shop has a good selection of new pull comics spread around the shop and graphic novels.

However, I've almost always walked out of here with at least one comic or pop vinyl. White Dragon is also the best shop in the metro Stroudsburg area for comics, and the best for miles in every direction. For these reasons they deserve a good review.
