We were visiting Austin to go to the capitol and figured we would check out a place on the way back to Dallas, we came here. Wow. that's all I can say, everyone except one guy behind the counter against the wall in front of the "spensive" comics was absolutely amazing. One person just came out of nowhere when we were ogling the Artist Editions and asked if we needed help and if we wanted to see any up close. She told us about the "sidekick" store which is also pretty cool where everything is super cheap, and mentioned she had seen some of them there. The entire complex is a geek heaven, but I must say there were enough people working, it's staffed very well, the people were very nice even for a busy Saturday. The selection is beyond amazing, if you look real hard and shop smart you can find some great surprises, and out of print stuff at cover price. I scored a Marvel Masterworks thats out of print for cover minus 10%. they are large enough to carry all the expensive books that most shops simply can't afford to carry, artist editions, art books, pretty much every Omnibus available (ever). A really great store I would even consider the 2.5 hour drive just to go here again. Believe the good reviews on this place, it really is as good as...

Some folks take their out-of-town friends to Mount Bonnell, The Drag, The Green Belt, Barton Springs, Town Lake... We take our out-of-towner friends and family to Austin Books & Comics. ABC, as some locals refer to it, has comic culture covered like hash browns at a famous southern breakfast dive but without the endearingly shady diner staff or salty kitchen lingo. They stock monthly issues, manga, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, vintage issues, back issues, statues, high end figures, action figures novelty tees, pint glasses, pins... if they don’t have it, odds are pretty good that they’ll get it for you or it doesn’t exist. Austin Books & Comics is staffed by a knowledgeable team that bucks the stereotypical trend of pencil-thin goateed comic-shop workers with ponytails and the musk of processed fast food. If one ABC’er doesn’t have an answer for any question(s) you might have, you can rest assured that someone on property can jump in and guide you in the right direction. in addition, they have “sibling” stores that specialize in vinyl statues/collectibles, tabletop games and vintage toys. These stores are all in the same shopping center. It’s a great local business to support. Austin Books & Comics is worth your...
