    Brilliant shop. Popped in on holiday late one day 30 minutes before closing. WHAT A TREAT. Should have planned better. Ian has a fantastic selection of modern titles and variants plus a whole ton of 50p bins (didn’t have time for those this trip). Ian was knowledgeable and super easy to chat with and had really great comic supplies and reasonable prices. I wish this was my LCS. Thanks Ian and see you on my next holiday to the area!

    Great shop, items from all ages for all ages, found stuff I didn't know I wanted and did a great deal on the comics I bought, Ian's happy to chat ( so am I) and had some gems. My girlfriend and I had great time, girlfriend was especially happy to have a place to sit while I checked out the stock. 5*.

    I have been a customer of Ian's longer than I care to recall – certainly since the days of the store being on Albert Road. Collecting my pull list is just part of the charm, flicking through the new titles, the TPBs, the 50p box and the bundles often mean I leave with more than I came for. Ian is friendly, knowledgable and chatty. Boy, is he chatty! My visits can take a while as we cover topics far beyond comics and popular culture. Step inside and prepare to spend a little cash, even if it's just a couple of old issues from the 50p boxes, if you love comics, movies and cult telly there is plenty in store for you including figures and other merchandise. If you are very lucky you may even get a doughnut!

    Ian is a very knowledable and welcoming comic book retailer. Chances are he will have something you're after In stock and on the off chance he doesn't he will do his utmost to make sure he gets it for next time. Couldn't recommend him enough

    Brilliant customer service. Reliable and thorough. Cares about the little details. Knowledgeable and better than ANY comic store in Portsmouth. Would recommend any new or old comic book reader to use this store.

    Excellent selection of comic/graphic novel titles. Ian is all round helpful and fun guy which gives the shop a great atmosphere. If you are in the area a visit is a must.

    Ian was very friendly, there was a nice varied selection of comics and graphic novels.

    Ideal shop for those keeping up to date with new titles. They have very few collectables, so this wasn't quite the shop for me, but I can see why others recommend. The owner was friendly enough and pointed me in the direction of alternative shops that had what I was looking for. A great shop for those suited!

    The No1 place in all the land for fine comics, essential graphics and awful jokes! All comics and novels come in a protective sleeve and you can buy all your boxes, backing boards, bags and dividers here too. If you don't see what you're after, Ian will always order it for you.
