As I said it depends on what you're looking for but for old comics Lutece II
and Alesia are the best to my knowledge. The prices are almost reasonable.
Alesia will give usually give you 10-15 % discount if you ask them.
There is another third librairy with many old and rare comics, "L'age d'or"
(13e) but I would not recommend it, because the prices are extremely high.
Never buy in that librairy, but you can always go and see what comics they
have.

There is also one (similar to Lutece) in Bruxelles, "Les petits papiers", 15
boulevard Lemonnier with many French comics.

Boulinier has improved in recent years. They put Disney comics in two or
three different places BTW.

Or the smaller (but sometimes better) one in Porte d'Orleans / Porte
d'Italie every saturday.
In the "brocantes" you can find the best prices (better than flea markets).
Brocantes in province usually are the best (I recommend Mezille in mid
August, Lille in the beginning of september, Aillant sur Tholon in July,
Armeau in september).
