Excelsior! Comics have been the no-brainer choice for affordable geek-culture shopping in Bristol for over 15 years, with student discounts to make your buy an even bigger bargain.
The shop has expanded since it moved from Bond Street with a huge selection of comics, graphic novels, toys, hobbyist collectables, tabletop RPG rulebooks, war gaming miniatures, miniatures paints, posters and more. Plus, an upstairs café with a jumbo capacity for board game sessions.

I enjoy going in most when he is there as he will talk your ear off, and recommend you things he think you may like. Guy really knows his stuff, and it makes you...
