New weekly comics
Every major and indie publisher, racked Wednesday at 11am: Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, BOOM!, Oni, and the small-press books your algorithm will never show you.
ISSUE #1 · DOWNTOWN SEATTLE…
New comics every Wednesday. 50,000+ back issues, always.
Galaxy Comics is downtown Seattle's comic book store — 1521 Orbit Ave, one block from Westlake Station. New releases hit the shelves every Wednesday at 11am sharp. Behind them: a back-issue room with more than 50,000 comics, a full manga wall, graphic novels from every publisher that matters, and enough Magic and Pokémon cards to start an argument.
MEANWHILE, ON THE SHELVES…
What we stock
50,000+ back issues
Bagged, boarded, alphabetized, and priced honestly — from dollar-bin gems to keys in the case. If we don't have it, we'll hunt it down for you.
Graphic novels & manga
A full manga wall kept current with new volumes, plus collected editions, omnibuses, and staff-picked graphic novels for first-time readers and lifers alike.
Trading card games
Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon — sealed product, singles, sleeves, playmats, and a judge behind the counter who actually knows the stack.

The pull list
A pull list is the oldest loyalty program in comics, and ours is simple. Tell us which titles you read. Every Wednesday we pull each new issue and reserve it under your name before the store opens — no racing the rack, no missed issues, no variant-cover heartbreak.
- Free to join. No fees, no minimums, no contract.
- 10% off every subscribed title, every week, automatically.
- Held for 30 days, so a busy month never costs you a book.
- Edit anytime — add, drop, or pause titles in store, by phone at (206) 555-0177, or by email.
“I've had a pull box here for six years. They flagged a first printing I'd have missed and once held my books through a two-month deployment. Best shop in the city.”

“They went through my dad's collection one book at a time and explained every price. Took the store credit, walked out with an omnibus stack taller than my kid.”
OUR ORIGIN STORY…
About Galaxy Comics
Galaxy Comics opened on Orbit Avenue in 2011 with two spinner racks, one register, and a theory: a comic shop should be the easiest room in the city to walk into. Fifteen years later the back-issue room has passed 50,000 books and the theory still holds. Our staff read everything — superhero, manga, horror, slice-of-life, small press — and our favorite question is “I've never read comics, where do I start?”
No gatekeeping, no quizzes, no smirking at your stack. Just ink, paper, and people who will absolutely over-recommend things if you let them.
