The Comic Book Store

The comic book store is run by Stuart Bloom, played by Kevin Sussman, a mild-mannered and under-confident owner who recurs from season two and becomes a series regular from season six. Stuart implies that he is in financial trouble and that the store is also his home. It is a regular setting for the group: after losing a bet to Stuart and Wil Wheaton the friends must visit it dressed as Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Batgirl and Supergirl, and Penny, Zack and the men dress as the Justice League for a New Year's Eve costume party there in "The Justice League Recombination".
