Fantastic little store. Has a wide range of comics, mostly from the 1960s thru present. I would say the bulk of their material is from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Mostly DC and Marvel, but a decent collection of other titles.Theres also a nice range of toys and figures.
You gotta check this place out if you’re in the area. Awesome selection of comic books, pop animation figures, posters…. NERD HEAVEN!!! Go to viet Cajun or seahorse grill to eat after. Or grab beers at Galveston island brewing.
Quite a fun selection of a variety of items!Definitely perfect for a true comic lover as there are more than you can count in every direction. Only small negative is customer service did not interact with us when we came in or walked by her. Would have spent a good bit more money with some friendliness.
Been in here 3 different times and I have been disappointed everything. Either its over priced or not for sale. I get that Galveston is a tourist town but come one. If you want a great comic book store near here, just drive to Houston to Nans, 3rd planet, or bedrock. Way more selection and more reasonable priced.
My family brought me here on my birthday a few years back and I really liked the place. The owners seemed nice and they have a great selection. Definitely a place to check out if youre a comic lover.
A fun place to go for endless back issues> was able to find some back issues to complete some runs I was working on, and they were hard to find until I stopped at this store. Will definitely visit this place again
Tons of options in a tiny space, it’s kinda cozy. The lady who owns doesn’t judge you for your raging collecting addiction.
Awesome place for a comic collector to begin some complete series run such as Robin, GL, and even some independents such as Locke & Key. Lotta of collectible oddities such as McD cups and toys. A+++ after my 4th visit.
This is the number 1 original shop and you can tell they love the genre. i love the staff. browsing is always fun. sales force never pushy and happy to recommend new favorite reads or stories to explore for every taste
Nice store. Ton of comics.
Friendly staff and lots of back issues
Awesome 👍 place 😊
Amazing store and staff! They had many options and plenty of space to search around. The staff was friendly, helpful, and don’t stand over you the whole time you’re shopping. I needed a specific comic that I couldn’t find anywhere, and although they didn’t have it in stock in Galveston, they did at their El Lago location. They really went above and beyond and I will most definitely be coming back to both locations.
Nice place and nice people. Huge selection and lots of cool options besides comics. Location is great. Would come back anytime.
They have a lot of stuff is just overpriced And they wont Come down off of anything
Over priced with NO KNOWLEDGE about comics. And their funko pops are priced SOOOOO high with REALLLY DAMAGED BOXES. a store open to just make money and has no love for the art of collecting. Id rather drive to houston even if I live in the Galveston area......
A great place for back issues on comics and vintage collectibles. Didnt have any current collectibles or figures.
This store is absolutely a diamond. Spent way too much money here but it was all completely worth it for the wild variety they had
We as a family very much enjoy this comic book shop. Lone Star Heros is so involved with the community as well. My son who first started to love and enjoy reading comic books at the age of 3 is almost 10 now and cant wait to go and see whats new. My 50 year kid at heart enjoys the collections. I myself enjoy finding some of the lesser known comics that most places wouldnt even carry. We as a family truly enjoy this shop. Lots to choose from and a lot more to collect from here.
Dont waste your time. They will kick you out if you dont have a face mask. I drove 30 minutes to get to this place for them to tell me I cant shop without a face mask. Some nice stuff, some junk, definitely overly priced just in the few things I did see.
Store itself is neat. The older lady that greeted us was very rude and being sarcastic to a 7 year old with Autism because he got a little more than normal hand sanitizer. Probably will not be back.
Awesome stuff on display awesome comics and friendly staff. I was mad i could not buy more to fit in my luggage. A highlight of our trip. Stop by and if you want some inside info of the island they will provide you with local favorites. Also support comic book stores! If you are a starwars fan you will drool looking at the display cases! My son loved it and so did I.
Nice store great selection. Good prices. Friendly staff
Great family owned business for comics, miniatures, rpg books and all your nerdy needs. They are friendly, informative, and generous. I love visiting here.
This comic shop has a great selection of collectible first runs, first appearances, and vintage comics. It also has a great brand new selection. Classic stories are packaged together, so you do not have to dig through comics to find the ones that correlate. The best part is: ALL COMICS ARE BAGGED AND BOARDED INCLUDING BRAND NEW ONES FOR NO EXTRA CHARGE! Every comic shop should be run this way!
Met the owner while we were shopping. hes pleasant and knowledgeable. They have a big selection in comics and back issues. Nice place.
Great selection of back stock! Love the options of current selections, great service, good prices. We like to stop by every time we are in Galveston!
Nothing to see here
Ive gone twice now, once out of curiosity during a trip to the beach, and once again on another trip as I had always wanted to go back.I mainly go for the RPG supplies, however they have walls and the floor filled with comics, statues, cards, supplies, and everything you can think of or need.The staff are passionate and wonderful, and I look forward to going on my next trip to Galveston!
I could spend hours browsing in here. I never thought I would spend $100 on a book, but by golly I spent that much on one I also had autographed at a signing they hosted. The owners are super nice and I will cherish my Deadpool book until I die. Then my kids can fight over it. 😉 Meanwhile, Ive noticed my kids tend to shop here when they buy me a gift. 😍
Good selection of comics. Staff is super friendly! Definitely worth the time to stop and check it out.
We ran into this place a few months ago, and had a great time looking around at old to new books. Great collections and a ton of fun, this place place reminds of the good old days on comic book hunting. Action figures from the old to the new. A great amount of bundle set tjatvare hard to find in complete sets. I would say that have good prices, because I keep going back for more.
Was visiting Galveston on vacation and I always like to check out a local comic shop while I travel. Lone Star is one of the best shops Ive seen. Great selection of back issues and new stuff, tons of old actions figures, and awesome packages of entire comic runs! They have little in the way of trade paperbacks and hardcovers from what I saw, but in this day in age where you can get that stuff from any bookstore or website, thats not as much of a draw anymore. Great shop. Friendly folks. Check it out!
Really liked the store but the lady that was working kept following me. Kind of ruined the experience for me.
The worker was friendly and really chill, and I found some pretty obscure stuff, which makes me think their wares are extremely broad. Overall it seems like a really nice store and if I was a local to the Galveston area I would definitely shop there regularly.
Massive collection of back issues, they also buy your collection and pay cash.
I was floored by the amount of issues in the store as well as the kindness of the owners. Unbelievable enthusiasm and helpfulness. Im switching my pulls over to this place immediately! This place is a comic lover and collectors haven! Im so happy the island finally has this place.-Ant
Lots of stuff, fun place to browse, cool crowded awesome in general feel. like the shops we had when i was growing up but more collectibles and knick knacks . huge selection and friendly staff
Love this place they have a great selection of new and old comics as well as some toys that i havent seen in a long time and decently priced to be old! Great place to browse!
Wonderful helpful, enjoyable shop found a few good deals and a few nice treasures
We were really excited to see a Lone Star Comics in Galveston. Having visited several location in the Dallas. The staff was everything but friendly. My wife (the Comic Collector) and I (action figure/Sideshow Collector) each had a kid in tow and I assume this meant we werent going to make a purchase. There were three employees working, one of which we thought was a customer due to his annoyance having to walk by my wife and two year old. Only reason they didnt get a one was due to their selection of back issues.
I absolutely love this comic shop and the amazing staff who work there. This shop is just what Galveston needed, and its right on the beach. This shop is always packed full of comics with new stuff coming in all the time. The sale items are always fantastic, especially the $1.00 comics. Pick up a dozen or so and youll be entertained (and hooked!) for quite a while. Not only is their comic selection awesome, but they have lots of cool old toys and a few higher end collectibles from Sideshow and Hot Toys among other stuff. If you come on a day when theyre having a raffle or fun event, then that just makes the trip even better. As a HUGE Star Wars and old TMNT fan, this place is beyond amazing.
This place is incredible! To start with, it fills one of the basic needs of nerdom my hometowns never truly fulfilled: a place to gather in wonder, where not only can fans and geeks meet, but where they can worship the pantheon of comics in its glorious and actual infinitude! They have the new stuff, the old stuff, the essential AND the trivial, collectibles AND nerdy utilities; they have what you need AND what you want! And this place is definitely something we needed!
Lots to see and read. The store representative was super knowledgeable and kind!
I just bought many Warhammer items. The staff was incredibly helpful and everything was appropriately priced. I will come back and purchase things here again.
The gentlemen who helped us was so nice and knew his store well, and it was awesome that it was easy to see on the way to the beach. My mom and I just HAD to stop and get stuff for my brothers. Prices are so reasonable compared to the comic stores back in Dallas, and they have everything you could imagine! Regular stuff to collectibles, old Disney, pokemon, manga, even ty beanie babies and walking dead stuff. 100% stop in.
Great shop me and my wife went by while in Galveston last week. I bought alot of magic cards for great prices. Everyone there was super friendly. It makes me wish i lived closer.Thanks for the great experience.
Nice. Bit overpriced but it also in a tourist area so not bad. Overall pretty good.
I loved the book store. Today was free comic book day and you can take 8 with you from a selected variety. For sure Ill come back!
I never knew this place was here, but since I do now, I will definitely be back.
Really cool comic book store. Has great package deals with several different collectors sets, friendly staff, and close to the beach! Im definitely coming back here again!
The staff is very knowledgeable helpful and friendly. Place is clean very full of all sorts of items collectibles for die hard and casual fans. If youre on the island I recommend you drop in.
An excellent comic book shop with a massive variety of comics, figurines and posters. I cant wait to come back
Lone Star Heroes is by far the the most impressive comic book shop in the entire Houston area. The prices are fair and the staff is always eager to lend you a helping hand. Furthermore, one would be hard pressed to find a better subscription service. I highly recommend this business to any and all pop culture enthusiasts.
This comic store blew my mind, and honestly this is what all comic stores should strive to be like. Huge selection of titles all nicely laid out for you, with tons of bundles to make your wallet cry! Now what really was the icing on the cake for me as a comic reader was the selection of Golden Age Horror comics on the left wall all the way to the end. This was my first time seeing pre-code comics in person and this store gave me that experience! The gentleman I spoke with was really friendly, cant wait to visit again!
Love this place! The guy running it is very informative and helpful too! We will definitely be back!Angel
Lots of good stuff to buy. Nice people.
Excellent selections, Couldnt buy everything I wanted, but able to find my missing issues. Great place. will need to go back, and pick up a few more.
Best place for a kite!!! And the.toys and comics are amazing on selection choice
Large selection to choose from and a great location. Always friendly and tries to help you find what you need. Tons of back issues to choose from.
Clean store, friendly staff, easy to find books. When my family and I are on vacation, I always check out local comic stores. Went by to pick up a few issues to read, owner was helpful in finding them. If youre visiting Galveston, be sure to check out Lone Star Comics!
Tired of the same back issues and recently released toys? Want to find the hard-to-find stuff from the 80s? Theyve got it all. They even sell by the collection if you want to jump start your collection and not wait to come across that one issue in a garage sale years later.
Great kinda pricey but great for all your toy/comic needs
I always find a item Im looking for that I might not have seen in another store.
This guy has a wealth of knowledge and is super friendly. he went around with us finding comics for our wedding!! recommend this place to anyone.
My 10 year old is impressed with the owner... said knows his stuff. Great classics collection!
Awesome selection! Great prices. Best local comic shop Ive found in the area!
Be prepared to spend a lot of time here, its full of great stuff
This place has it ALL! (And then some)Staff was SUPER knowledgeable and customer service was out of this world! If you are a “nerd” you have GOTTA stop here!!!
Went in to sell 11 graphic novels she/he called the person who buys them didnt tell hum what kind didnt take the time to negotiate with us at all super rude 😠 never going back worst service ever so disrespectful!!!! BTW he shoved the bookes back in our arms rudely could have been handled better!
Great Store! Wonderful back issues. You have have to go with some time to spear. You will want to browse.
Great inventory, both new and old. Great parking, staff very friendly. Highly recommend this store.
Family owned shop. Good to see comic shop on the Island!
Great store. Big selection. I love that they are on the island.
Place is huge and has such a good selection! Love the staff, they are extremely friendly and very helpful if you have questions!
Not only does the owner know comics, he knows his shop. This place prices for everyone - from kids dragging thier parents end off the beach, to collectors looking for rate and high value pieces. He carries local artists without charging them commisions, and he also gives a great discount for subscriptions. Best Ive heard of in Texas. Seriously, stop in and get your geek on.
Great selection! Cool Comics, D&D, MTG and other cool stuff! Very clean and organized! Love this place!
Neat store. Lots of comics and collectibles.
Cool comic book store! The best one I have ever seen!
