Love this shop. My husband is the comic book aficionado, but i really love going to this shop and browsing all the interesting merch they have. The models, pins, posters, t-shirts and stuff are all fantastic. The staff is friendly and they allow you to explore without standing over you. When you visit, make sure to use the restroom and check out the hand drawn cartoons on the walls. Fun!

I had them make a pull list for me 3 months ago ( war of the bounty hunters ) and been getting them shipped out each month. Now I missed back issues from the tie ins but they kept the main title...makes no sense. Now I have to find the tie in on ebay. They said we only hold for a month...however they had the one title being held for me still. It would have made the issue better if the girl I spoke to on the phone offered to look for the back issues I was missing or something along those lines.

Knowledgeable staff, and a great selection of current runs, back issues, indie prints, trade paperbacks, and even some manga. Theyre also willing to order in a specific boom or issue if possible, and offer 25¢ backed sleeves at the counter.The layout of the store is great as well! They have shelves sorted alphabetically, by genre, by publisher, by press type, etc. They also have a curated selection of comics that are entry points to certain stories and characters, for when you want to jump into something new.They also sometimes have events, signings, and even some early access and exclusive variants! If you like comics and live in Austin, this place is a must-visit. I put it up there with Midtown Comics in Times Square

My son loves this place! We stay for hours, staff is always pleasant and helpful! Fun to take pics with the Big Hulk!

I am an international buyer from Canada. From the moment I called to ask about a book the service was always friendly and polite. The manager promptly emailed and called me back several times to provide me the details I wanted about a specific book. Ty, who was one of the managers that helped me, was a pleasure to deal with. I had a smooth transaction with him and will definitely be a returning customer.

Great selection, wonderful staff and fun to visit.

Its been a really long time since I stopped in, so I dont know when the store square footage got expanded. Its a lot bigger than before not as dark inside. Selection is pretty impressive, a bit confusing at first. Staff is super cool and will help you find that one thing youre on the hunt for and even offer to order items if listed in their database thingamajig. Its a little warm in the back, but could whatever no biggie if you live in Texas youre gonna sweat randomly. Parking is kinda tricky but there is parking on the side of the building, so no excuses to stop in.

If you like comics, youll love this place. Huge inventory, all nicely organized, and very knowledgeable and friendly. Wish it was in my home town, as it is, everytime we go to Austin, I beg my SO to do a drive by. Thank you!

So this place we must have driven by 100 times before stopping in, thinking ohh its just a comic shop. Boy were we wrong. This place is amazing!! The amount of inventory and selection is incredible! The space is extremely deceiving from the outside but its like the TARDIS. This small storefront but walking in, its huge!! I cant really go into the vast inventory, but if youre looking for it, they probably have it. Books, manga, comics, figures, collections, art, trinkets, new release, vintage, it goes on and on. We didnt interact with the staff aside from a friendly hello and checkout. But those interactions were very friendly and pleasant. We will definitely be making this place our go to for all things comic related.

Large variety of Marvel stuff, DC not so much. Pricing on things is pretty decent. Some things are priced higher than what I could get them for here in SA, but overall a really cool place with lots to offer.

Its huge inside! The associates that helped me were super awesome and you can tell they love comics. ^^ Excited to read these gems.

We love everyone here! They always have great staff, prices, and selection.

Big space with a massive see collection. Great spot if youre looking for back issues.

Wow, this is easily the most dedicated shop in Austin. The attention to detail and organization is immaculate. There is so much in this store to love, from unique statues to rare comics. Fair prices, great condition, and a massive stock will keep me coming back.

Great store with amazing staff as well as very cool producta

One of the biggest comic stores I’ve ever been to. They have literally every issue of every comic that I’m currently collecting and I haven’t even had the need to ask them to create a pull list for me yet—which is something I believe they are willing to do.

Took my stepdaughter here. Shes just getting into comics and had so many options to choose from. The staff was helpful as well

Cute comic store with figures and posters! Large selection and variety of genres!

Today I visited here after 10 yrs..I was happy to see the joy it brings my grandkids and my son

Really excellent selection. Staff is friendly and helpful for finding exact issues.

Do they buy older comics from the 70s 80s 90s?

What a store! Its huge, well organized, and the staff is friendly. Also, its connected to an import/pop art collectible store and a gaming store. Its definitely worth a trip if youre a collector.

This store has everything comics and graphic novels. Indies, kids, mainstream, posters, you name it. They even have figures in the back, mostly comics and star wars stuff. They do not have anime figures, but thats balanced with an anime store being right next to it. All in all, great experience.

There is a huge selection of action figures, comics, shirts, mugs, pins, small mystery boxes, and many other items. I found a cool BB-8 mug here and bought it. The staff was friendly and the store was easy to navigate. Also, my girlfriend was able to take her dog in, but we did not stay too long. You can easy waste an hour or more here just checking the store out.

This was such a fun little store to go into!

The best comic store hands down, not just in Austin but ever.

Loved it! I saw games of all sorts, comics of course, big statues, helpful staff, and a large inventory. I was very happy to have stopped by, and I made to sure to buy a signed Thor comic before I left.

Great selection of comics. Nice staff.

Was able to find what I couldnt in home town

Not recommended. They are still trying to force people into wearing masks. Plenty of other stores that dont do that to their customers.

Good selection of manga and even better selection of comics staff is always friendly and atmosphere is nice and quiet

Great place, cute girls working up front that give you free stickers!! They have pretty much everything from Silver, to paper back, to current variants!! 💯

They have some interesting figures here

Trevor invited my son and I to stop by and check out the store. We finally got around to going and instead of my son buying comics, I spent almost $100 on a collection that caught my eye. Im happy with my purchase and Trevor was great! Well definitely be going again..for my son 😉

Really cool comic book shop. Large selection

You can always find what you need to read here. And the staff will always point you in the right direction for something new and excellent!

One of the best places to get old and new books. You can even order online, my Fav option!!!

They had everything we were looking for and the staff was very helpful!

This is one of the best comic shops in the Austin area!! Huge selection of back issues and current ones!! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff!! This place is a must when in town!!

This place is the best. The staff is always top notch, friendly and will bend over backwards to help you find what you are looking for. Huge in-store inventory. Plus they give veterans a 15% discount, which is much appreciated.They also have a huge warehouse full of back issues, so if you cant find it in store, they likely have it in somewhere.If you buy from here you wont be disappointed.

Best place in Austin if you love comics. Maybe th world!

Great selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

One of the best comic book stores in the area.

Amazing selection. Omnibus and collection selection of things i couldnt even find on Amazon. Will return when Im in the area.

I love this place. The best comic book store I ever went to

Great selection and very nice staff!

Best comic book store in the city of Austin. Dragons Lairs isn’t bad, but Austin books is the Dragon Slayer.

Super helpful staff, a huge assortment of back issues and current series issues. If you are a comic fan, or looking for some of the more difficult issues to find, you will love this place!

For serious collectors, this is a strong recommendation. Looking for for that hard to find back issue? They just might have a copy. Looking for a certain action figure? Spend some time looking through their inventory. You might just find it.

Sad that some actions figure, worker cannot find out of the price. I was interested in captain America. If I cant afford, I wouldnt ask otherwise 😏

Best comic book shop In Austin.

When we come to Austin this store is a must . I love coming here .

I really wish I had a comic book store on this level in my city. I picked up a couple of books on to read on the flight back home.

Amazing, the best comic shop in Texas!

Best comic store i have ever been to. They got a great selection of new and old issues.

Great place for comics and everything pop culture. When you visit ask for Brandon. His knowledge about comics is amazing.

My biggest issue with this store that they will not negotiate pricing on high end books, even when wen looking at 10+ books at $50+ Their firm stance on pricing has left me only buying from them once every 2 years or so. I am a local but tend to do my key issue shopping in Dallas and Houston due to friendlier service and negotiatable prices.Other than that the staff is generally friendly and the selection is amazing. Ive been fortunate enough to have been in many comic shops across the country and Ive found that few shops can match the size of this store.If it wasnt for my one major issue I would be ranking them 4-5 stars but its bothered me for years being the only store Ive been to with out flexible pricing. But they have been in business since the 70s so maybe that works for them so they must be doing something right!

An amazing collection, they also have a medium sized collection of newer manga.

Not a good place for sellers, they try to lowball you and lie to you about the value/rarity of comics.

Wow! This place is absolutely huge and amazing. I wish I would have taken a couple of pictures for memories. I personally didn’t buy anything, but there is plenty to shop for in here. To be honest you don’t have to buy anything, just go in and have a look and enjoy the experience. If you come past here I cannot stress enough how much you need to visit this place. The staff working in there are super friendly and are always there to help you if necessary. The place is also really clean and tidy.

This shop has everything. Easily the best comic shop in Austin. All the big new titles every week, limit one on the hottest books so everybody has a chance to get one, which is a great policy. Insane collection of back issues and statues. More statues in one place than Ive ever seen. The only thing this place is missing is a decent air conditioner.

Ordered a sold out book from them and although the phone connection wasn’t good and I was asking a TON of questions Jessie and the manager helped me out and answered every one of them! I appreciate their excellent customer service!

This place has a good LGBT section.

27 years ago was the last time I was there. Very happy to see how well theyve done. Very nice place

This place had the most of any comic store I have been to yet. For a mid size shop it is loaded and well cataloged with great organization of books.

Make this a stop if you need your fill of everything cool and interesting. Statues, apparel and a huge selection of comics will keep you busy in a great way! Support ABC!

LOVED the selection made the drive all the way from waco!!

What a wonderful place. Just a wonderland of comics and graphics novels and artsy things. Theres something for everyone - heroes, villains, black and whites, indie stuff, posters, books... this is a great spot all around. The staff is kind and helpful and not at all pushy. I got a cool book called Algeria is Beautiful Like America. Almost cried halfway through. Thanks a ton for being a part of the community!!

Best place for all your comic wants and needs🤓

They have an excellent selection of comics and graphic novels as well as collectables. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Staff was nice, lots and lots of comics!!

Great service & alot of comics to choose.

Fun little shop with a knowledgeable and friendly staff

These fine gentlemen had the books I was looking for at 5 other shops in two states over the last 2 weeks.Total selection and super fun people to chat with.

By far the best comic shop in Texas!!

The street is welcoming and friendly.

AMAZING as always. Friendly helpful and knowledgeable staff. Fair prices and great layout.

Great selection of back issues, unfortunately a little overpriced imo.

They are GREAT! I came in with a really specific request to find a comic book of a certain time period. The staff was so knowledgeable and helped me pick two great comic books within the time frame! Thank you Austin Books & Comics.

Me and my friens are gonna start taking tips just to go here there so nice and have some of the best stuff. I love it

Ive shopped at ABC for years and cant say enough good things about the store and staff. Theyre friendly, knowledgeable, and remember a lot of their customers. If youre looking for a LCBS, save yourself some time and come here first!

Amazing selection! They have stuff for kids, manga lovers, collectors, etc. I could easily lose half a day looking at titles here.

Best place in Texas to get the best variety of Comics and memorabilia. Great place for the kids.

I always love coming here to see the latest issues of my favorite mangas and comics. They have some helpful fun staff willing to help you find anything you need and want without hesitation. Ive been to this store and its partnered stores around it and it was always amazing, not just the products but the environment too. Theyre always willing to help even if they dont have what youre looking for, theyll try to help you get it and get it shipped there for you. Very clean and organized as well. Its always easy for me to find the books or series Im following because its all in alphabetical order and its all sectioned off into genres and styles which makes everything so much easier to find. I love this place!

Great Selection and Knowledgeable staff

This place is alot bigger then what it looks like from the outside

Staff are rude and will not help customers!!

Its Austins version of Forbidden Planet and if I can spend less than an hour there and walk out without several titles and collectables in my hand then Ive exerted my reserves of willpower for the week. With LGBQT section and a beginners area, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and care that goes into the shop organization. My only beef would be the lack of popular artists in the Art of section. Jim & Jae Lee, Adams, Campbell, Charest, Capullo, Darrow...none of their books are on the self. Regardless its a magical place and I look forward to my next visit.

Excellent selection of graphic novels and comic books. I went in thinking I would find a quirky book about something interesting and artistic. I found an extremely moving graphic novel about miscarriage and the loss of a child. I am grateful that this subject matter is being promoted even in a store like this.

Helpful staff, good selection, decent prices on wall books.

Wonderful local comic store. Employees are friendly and know everything comics. They still provide curbside during Covid.

Place is great. The staff was fair and honest. I will return at least once a week.

Wont make accommodations for people with respiratory conditions.

One of the best Austin has to offer.

Great selection gifts for all your comic book lovers!

Great selection of graphic novels and comics (current and back issues).

Two comic books in one bag?

Its a cool place. It was larger than I expected. Lot of new comics and a lot of old comics. There were also figurines and promo items as well. I picked up a new Junji Ito release here. I could have bought it online, but having it in hand and being able to do a little quality assurance is worth a couple of dollars.

ABC almost always has what Im looking for, and the staff are very knowledgeable. I go less often thanks to the pandemic, but I still love it here.

Real cool comic store!! Enjoy going there when in town!!
