Comics

We are a comic and collectables shop so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that we have approximately a third of our retail space dedicated to comics and we hope that what ever you’re looking for, we can cater to your needs when you come and visit Nerd Life!

New Releases

As well as new releases being held in stock we only have limited space so if you want to guarantee that we’ll have what you want and you want to save some cash while you’re at it, make sure to pre-order your new releases. This can be done in store or through our online pre-order portal which you can find below. Savings on pre-order comics vary from 10% all the way up to 20% and this includes manga and graphic novel pre-orders as well.

Our online portal is open for anyone and we’ll ship out all pre-orders when your order comes in fully, however if you’re looking for a local service we’ll have copies in store of the Previews catalogues including DC and Marvel for you to look at and make a more informed decision about what you want to add to your collection in the coming months.

Let’s grow your current collection together.

Back Stock

Being a small high street shop we don’t have the largest selection in the country by a long shot but with over 3,500 back issues in stock at any one time we hope that you can find something to get you excited. of course all of our comics are displayed in comic boxes to give you that thrill of the hunt as you flick through mostly current era books but there are also plenty of older releases in the mix!

When you check out our back stock you’ll find all of your Marvel books in one place organised by character where we can and the same applies also for DC. When it comes to indie releases, larger format books (old British weekly Marvel or 2000AD for example) and our bargain boxes you’ll find these alphabetically listed but with publishers mixed together. If you really can’t find what you want or even you want to check availability before you come down we have a digital inventory which we can check through for all of our comics so don’t be shy to ask us.

Our backstock boxes contain a wide range of different titles and we don’t currently sort our keys and signed issues separately so you never know what you might find unless you’re looking for slabs which can be found on our wall and in some of our cabinets.

Other Formats

As well as traditional comic books you can also come to us for a wide selection of graphic novels which includes various manga releases. Our real passion is in traditional formats but we’ve got our own growing collection of manga ourselves so are happy to give some pointers if you’re looking something new to add to your collection.
