Ahh, a Belgium comic book store. Actually, I discovered this place (and the one next door) as I was…read moreattempting to make my way to a laundromat and made the decision to head back here the next morning before we caught the train to Ghent. Personally, I'm glad I did, but then again since I discovered them there wasn't going to be anything stopping me from coming down here to have a look around. All I can say is that these places literally blow the comic book stores that I am used to completely out of the water namely because the Belgium and French comics seem to be on a completely different level than what you get from America and Japan. However, I am a long time fan of Tintin (and to a lesser extend Asterix), so any comics (or should I say graphic novels) in that style are going to grab my attention.

Bandes dessinées alternatives, mangas, manwhas et comics en version française ou originale viennent compléter ce panorama. Posters, sérigraphies et figurines à l'effigie des personnages tirés de ces ouvrages y tiennent aussi bonne place. Au plaisir de vous y croiser!

I'm not reviewing too many shops on this trip because I basically only brought a backpack and I…read moreonly review stores I make purchases from, so you know what that means! Brusel is located right in the heart of the city along with a ton of other shops, but this one....this one hit different. I went into probably five or six different comic book shops in Brussels and this one was my absolute favourite. On the lower level of the shop you have all of the comic trades, the manga, and a bunch of random other things like Smurfs figures and Studio Ghibli stuff along with the cash register to pay. Upstairs is a random shrine to Harry Potter with a ton of his merchandise and even a hanging display of owls, Harry Potter fan or not, it's very very cool. Overall, Brusel is my favourite comic store in the city and the store we each picked up four comics to bring home with us. This store should be on any comic lovers list of places to stop!

This is the comic book shop without the clutter and far more streamlined. Was walking past and had…read moreseen Brusel's a few times prior, their storefront semi-piquing my interest but never enough for me to enter. This time around I walked by and caught a glimpse of a gorgeous framed Blacksad poster/picture and was like holy crap... I think I can finally buy that book. Sure enough they had everything plus an art book. It did cross my mind to just go buy it on Amazon, but it was just so in the moment. Long story short, I splurged a little. This place really will ruin your wallet. I almost ended up buying even more books and a few adorable French zines. Languages for the books vary from French, Flemish to English and a small section in Japanese. Their manga section was also really fun and I love the European publication style to their Manga which is almost 1:1 to Japanese print in size and feel unlike American publications. Almost nabbed a few of those too... They also have an upstairs and downstairs filled with framed artwork which I assume are actual originals, but if not, my mistake. They all looked very nice and well displayed. They require you to leave your bag at the front if you are to look at them and enforce no photo policy of the artwork, since I was semi in a rush, I opted to not look at gorgeous art for hours... sigh. Brusel's also packs lots of other fandom items from Harry Potter, Batman, etc.. the like. Things like wands and themed chest boards. Seriously would have killed my entire wallet here... The damage was only one very expensive and gorgeous graphic novel.

This is a fun resale shop with a huge selection of books and music. Not a lot of English options,…read morebut that's understandable as not that many people in Brussels speak English. I was surprised with the high prices. A number of the electronics here were 2-3 times what I would have expected to pay in the us. The books as well were nearly 2x the US price. I did find some nice (and inexpensive) comic books for gifts for my family here. The staff was pretty much indifferent, largely caught up in their own work and only looking up when you get to the checkout. TL;DR overpriced but pretty nice.
