The best comic book store in Austin, arguably in the entire state. Spacious with helpful, knowledgable staff in this pure comic book store. Hosts mega events such as Free Comic Day and has artists appearances.nJoe, Brenden and Diane are incredibly well-read and love to help.

We happened to be driving by Austin Books and Comics and decided to stop—so glad we did! We were blown away by the size of the store and how clean and organized everything was. The wide selection is fantastic, and my son was thrilled to find some comics he’s been hunting for (Battle Beast). Every staff member we encountered was super helpful, and the manager was especially awesome, super friendly & knowledgeable. This place is a true gem for comic lovers. We’ll definitely be back!!!

On our quest to hit up the 10 best comic book stores in the country, two from the Austin area ended up on the list. Austin Books & Comics was a fun addition to the lineup!nnWe loved the unique decor, and in addition to their amazing comic and book selection – they had a great game section (like board games and card games). I think I purchased just as many games as my son did comic books. The staff was helpful when I asked questions. And it was in an easily accessible location with plenty of parking.

This was a GREAT comics store!!! They had a few of my childhood favorites. CARtoons magazine is the greatest comic of all time for car guys!!! I asked Mia about them and she immediately blasted through the store as if they were HER favorite. She searched a couple spots before finding 5 different copies of varied vintage. I scored the two oldest of them. Then I asked her about vintage Hulk. Explained that my wife and I were looking for graduation gifts for our son. She enlisted Tim in thus endeavor. He quickly produced many great examples of super cool HULK comics. He even used his phone app to give us neat details about the different choices. His expertise was evident, and he was super polite and helpful. Great store and awesome associates.

Austin Books & Comics was awesome! The selection is fantastic, with a great variety that makes it easy to spend way more time browsing than planned. If you’re into comics or graphic novels, this place is definitely worth the stop.nThe only downside was the parking—not great—but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back. I’d absolutely visit again.
