Daily News | 19 women-owned businesses in Philly to support right now
Ariell Johnson opened Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse in North Philly in 2015, making her the first Black woman to own a comic book store on the East Coast. Johnson’s own love for the genre started when she discovered the X-Men character Storm at the age of 10 or 11, and found a Black woman superhero she could identify with.
In college, Johnson’s Friday routine was to visit her local comic shop and take her new finds to the coffee shop across the street to read with hot chocolate and piece of cake. Johnson wanted to spread the warmth to others, so she opened Amalgam — a bookstore-coffee-shop hybrid that’s a welcoming, inclusive space for anyone who loves geek culture. Comic book fans, gamers, and movie buffs can unite over coffee and baked goods while shopping for comics, toys and figurines, magazines, and more.
