History
Brainstorm was established in 1984. We moved into downtown Frederick after nearly 30 years in business. The previous location was a mortuary/funeral home in the 19th century. Our newest location in Walkersville has quite a history and once sold “beverages.” Come visit and experience the personalized customer service you have come to expect from Brainstorm Comics and Gaming.
Meet the Founder: Dan Webb
Dan owned and managed Brainstorm for nearly 30 years. He plays sea shanty folk music with his band Rant ‘n Roar, occasionally performs as a traditional Mexican wrestling star (El Gringo Bravo) and developed a love for comics working the night shift at a gamma irradiation plant. No Joke.
