When I was little, my mom would take me to the Green Dragon. I was always amazed by how cool their shop was- all the interesting figurines and books and items never found in regular stores. Mom would let me pick out a kid's comic, like the old school Sonic the Hedgehog comics and the classics like Archie, which became part of my earliest influences as an artist. Without Green Dragon, I wouldn't have had access to such things, so I feel grateful for having them as a part of our community. Growing older I've realized just how vital they are to us, not just for providing unique merchandise but as an enduring haven for gamers and collectors alike. There are regulars to the Green Dragon, and everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable about their favorite subjects. This is the kind of place you can come in with friends and set up a game and play all day if you'd like. I love the rich geek culture that's going on here. So thanks for being there for us for all these years. Long live The...

I'm not big into comics, but it seems like they have a little more than most chain book stores offer.

I haven't seen much in the way of tabletop miniature strategy games, but I can't say it isn't there. They have a pretty diverse group of regulars. Everyone was pretty friendly and encouraging to...
Read moreI've visited the Green Dragon for several years now, and it's still the only place of its kind in all of Charleston. Books, Comics, RPGs, Action Figures, Weapons, Incense, Card Games, Board Games ( an impressive selection too!), you name it. It's an excellent nerd store.
Despite the great selection, you cannot help but agree with other reviewers: The owners are what make the place special. Scott and Adrianna are well-known to storegoers and are always there to provide you with a familiar welcome. They're very willing to give their time and attention as you peruse for whatever your heart desires.
Green Dragon often holds unique events in-store. Check out their website for more information. If you've not visited Green Dragon before and feel it sounds like your kind of place, come and see...
