How it all Began

Blair and Matt met at the Taylor Bend YMCA in the Summer of 2010. What started off  as a friendship bonding over Pop Culture quickly became the start of a lifelong love. They were married September 29th 2012.

After attending the first ever Tidewater Comicon at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Virginia Beach they began working on a joint adventure Super Lampshades. Super Lampshades consisted of Decoupaged lampshade covers, nightlights, and light switch covers. They gained success at local events in Hampton Roads.

After a few years and many talks with peers Matt and Blair decided that they wanted to go from Super Lampshades to owning their own comic shop. Bella Books Comics & Toys was formed in June 2016.
