Forbidden Planet is the UK’s biggest chain of sci-​fi/​comic/​geek stores. It took over Stoke’s Another World a few years back, and is different from most Forbidden Planet branches in that it’s primarily a computer games shop (at least downstairs). Most of the staff are mad on video games and look down on the comics and memorabilia stuff, which makes for an interesting but uncomfortable dynamic. Prices are in line with other Forbidden Planets — by which I mean, fairly expensive. But you’ll find stuff here you won’t find elsewhere. If you’re after Family Guy, Star Trek, stuff etc, this is the best place in Stoke to look.

Excellent alternative shop.
The ground floor is packed to the ceiling with dvds and magazines, and once you get up the rather steep and slightly cluttered stairs you hit the real goodies.
hey have an excellent selection of books, clothes and toys, and as a huge tim burton fan i almost always come out with something else connected to one of his films.
You never really go into the Forbidden Planet knowing what you want, if anything at all, but it takes a stronger willed person than me to leave the shop emptyhanded!

Forbidden Planet is one of my favourite shops in town. It sells everything from magazines, games to action figures and urban vinyl. They always have a great window display and it’s fun to see what new stuff they have in. The games and magazines are downstairs so you have to venture up some rather rickety stairs to get to the toys and books. It’s worth it though as there’s a fantastic range of cult stuff!
