Wandered in this shop on a random Saturday in town running errands from Austin as it was the…read moreclosest comic book shop nearby. Greeted by the owner, Phil, and Bill, who own and run the shop, I was in awe of all the vintage goods. If you're looking for a shop that knows vintage and has enthusiasts that love talking vintage comics, this is a must stop shop! They have so many cool books and series, and are so knowledgeable about each and every one of them, so if you have any questions, ask and they would be glad to help or tell you more. Tucked in the corner of the shop is a vintage Galaxian cabinet that is on free play, and if you beat Phil's high score, you get half off on 10 dollar comics! Highly recommend this shop to anyone that is a collector of comics, or honestly just any nerd. Phil and Bill will take care of you and make you want to come back as soon as you can.

This place is SO COOL!!…read more My fiancé and I love stopping by regularly to see what's new in store. The guys here are the absolute coolest and have been so helpful, and the amount of awesome merch crammed into this place is INSANE. From board games and their accessories to giant superhero statues, they have it all. We've purchased almost all of our comic books here, several Pokémon and One Piece cards/packs, plushies, and a few figures from them. Their layaway plan is super reasonable and made it possible for us to bring home one of our largest figures, J. Scott Campbell's Alice, to date. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you haven't already visited. This place is an experience, and I'd be absolutely shocked if you can't find what you're looking for.

Their volunteers are always so helpful & knowledgeable. Its why I come back. Well, & the books. I came this time wanting cookbooks. I hadn't ever looked at their selection before. I collect vintage cookbooks, (yes, I use them too. ), I was happy to see the selection they had. I'll be back to look. Definitely adding this area to my focus. Right around the corner from the cookbooks are the vintage books. Well, they had this wonderful little Dick Tracy book. I knew it was coming home with me. Then, when I went to psy they were going to give me the Dick Tracy one. I told them no, I wanted to pay for it, it gives them the money. Isn't that the point!?

The staff truly made the visit even better. Everyone was kind, patient, and genuinely happy to help or just chat, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.

Such a fun comic shop!…read more This shop may be on the smaller side, but that doesn't mean there isn't a ton to see or do. Cards, comics and mangas, figures, snacks, a tabletop tournament area, you name it, they have it. The staff members are so friendly and actually know their stuff so you're sure to get excellent help or advice if you need them. It's such a cool place, and I've purchased a ton of Magic decks, card sleeves, and far too many Asian snacks from them and I guarantee you that I will continue to do so. I'd highly recommend swinging by Dragon's Lair. And don't forget to check out their daily event schedule to see if you want to participate in one of their tournaments!

Plenty of room, a separate snack bar/eating area, air conditioning (we definitely weren't sweltering here), and just an overall beautiful building. Five dollars got you a ticket for prize giveaways and a blue band to get in and out as frequently as you would like throughout the day. Of course the time you spent at the show depended on if you were really looking for that CGC 9.9 Walking Dead #1 that sold for $10,000 on eBay recently or basically going through and seeing what was randomly available. The sellers were nice even when you weren't interested in anything or just browsing. I never felt pressured. But I did buy three ***STUNNING*** drawings by artist Tracy Watkins (I haven't had time to add the pics but I will as soon as I'm able to.). He even signed them for us too. :D Parking was not much of a challenge since attendees were in almost constant turnover. This was an afternoon well spent!
