    A brilliant little independent retailer that sell comics and graphic novels. Would highly recommend especially if you’re only just starting out with comic collecting as they have a shelf full of £1 preowned comics with some still being very recent or part of ongoing series

    For me ok comics is a place where I have discovered some of the most amazing pieces of art work from the graphic novels section. Specifically compilations of incredibly talented and out there artists and writers. I never fail to experience that wow feeling when looking at the graphic novels. It’s a collective feeling of the escapism I get to experience when I read the stuff I buy at home... amazing. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.

    Simply the best comic book store in the country as far as I am concerned. They always deliver my pull-list to the highest standard and recommend new titles based on my previous reading. Visited the store in person for the first time in 3 years and Jared and crew are as always ready to help and deliver great customer service with a wide selection of titles to browse and purchase.

    Exceptionally lovely comic shop with a vast amount of stock, with unusual, unique items, from book plates to beers! I was especially surprised by the depth of range and also that they had such an excellent selection of European comics and such a large quantity of very good value back issues. Anna was very helpful and we had a superb couple of hours, browsing and buying. Well worth the visit, indeed worth traveling to.

  • 5/5 Eóin B. 1 year ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Great collection of comics and graphic novels from big hitters and independent publishers. The staff know their content inside and out, are friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Online and in-person shopping is great and their mail order service will ship anything they can wherever you are in the world swiftly, and at a very reasonable price. They're always quick to offer suggestions of new work by writers and artists they know you love or know you will love. The scope and scale of my interests have been forever changed by the staff here from pure DC superheroes to noir crime, horror, and beyond

    Always a friendly greeting and an excellent choice in comics and graphic novels. They price competitively for an independent and do pre-orders/order in comics in request. Been going for years and almost all my comics are from them loyalty scheme is excellent too

    I have been ordering and buying books from this shop for 10 years now and the staff and service has always been excellent! The best comic book shop in Yorkshire if not the world!

  • 5/5 Abby M. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff were so nice and helpful, chatted with us about some new releases and were very accommodating. My friend and I spent around half an hour just digging through the wealth of cheap back issues and came away with a nice little haul!

  • 5/5 Duncan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little independent comic book store. Friendly staff that will leave you alone, or when you appear to flounder, will offer to help you to find a gift, or guide you in the right direction for something new. Comfortable seat provided (upstairs) if you are waiting for someone to make their selection, or browse through a few choices.

  • 5/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great comic shop my favourite comic book shop to go too and the owner is nice

  • 5/5 Caroline P. 2 years ago on Google
    Recently decided as the girl-child's favourite shop in Leeds. Has a great range of middle grade graphic novels that she is determined to work her way through at a pace. The knowledge and kindness shown by all staff in the shop towards my daughter each time she has been in has been wonderful - OK Comics really does deliver a service you'd never reproduce when buying online. Also, the site of her first ever bubble proudly blown with bubblegum (if you were looking for any blue plaque ideas...)

  • 5/5 Lace M. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible selection of comics and graphic novels. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and happy to make recommendations for you (which are always spot on). Setting up a pull list is easy and you can add to it an any time. Great place to visit!

  • 5/5 Martyn R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 A K. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic store. Good new release section. Loads of graphic novel. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Wish there was one of these where I live. Recommended

  • 4/5 Raúl S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely graphic novels, comics and manga! Good quality and variety, the manga section is quite limited but still good series. It has been long time since I have seen this many graphic novels in one place. It appears the main selling point are comics in the back of the store. Only downside is that could be larger. Recommended for sure!

    Fantastic shop for all your up to date comics. Really friendly staff. Great prices too.

  • 5/5 Scott K. 2 years ago on Google
    The best comic shop in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. A great store with lots of choice and stock, including a good selection of independent titles. The owner, Jared is very friendly and knowledgeable and always has some great recommendations, whatever your tastes. I happily drive a 4 hour round trip to pay a monthly visit. Don't miss out on visiting.

    Only found one negative review of this place and it's just someone being grumpy for no reason. The staff were very helpful when we went in, seemed very knowledgable and went to go find comics we were looking for. Keep in mind it's quite a small space though (not anyone's fault just the size of the shop they have I guess)
