Tazmanian Comics

I’ve been coming here since a little kid at the old location. In fact it was probably the first store I shopped in when I moved to Burnaby. I remember it fondly, they had X-​men #1 in the bargain box for $ 0.99 (the 90’s uncanny X-​men). Keith, the store owner has treated me kindly since I was a child and through highschool and Taz has always been an oasis through some turbulent times as a teen. Its great to see this store in the larger location it is in now with free parking in the back. They have a large inventory of comics and sports memorabilia. Its nice to see the old Magic the gathering and other card game tables in the back. They have a lot of toys too! If you’re looking for a unique gift for someone this place is it. From Star wars, to Disney, to Marvel, DC, the independent comic publishers and Sports cards and memorabilia Tazmanian Comics has it. They have an extensive Sports card section. I remember Keith giving me some of the best business advice I have ever received. An item is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. As far as comics and collectibles go, Tazmanian comics pretty much has something to suit everyone’s price range.

Fantastic store! Huge, much bigger than I remember, great selection of toys and comics

Over the years I’ve driven past this place so many times I couldn’t even count. I always thought of dropping by but never really had a reason and felt that it was a bit sketchy looking so I just never did until recently. My brother-​in-​law told me this store had lots of Pop Characters and since I collect/​sell them I decided to check it out.
It ends up they have a lot more than just Pop Characters. There’s comics, sports figures and cards along with memorabilia for all kinds of shows and movies. I can spend a ton of time just walking around and checking out everything they have in stock without even realizing the time. Some of it is so nostalgic and some other stuff is just really cool and modern.
I like this shop, the prices are decent and the selection is pretty good. I just wish I didn’t feel like such an outsider when I visit lol.

My husband is a total comic book dork and I’ve been tagging along with him to stores for years now. This place is great! It’s well laid out, not crowded and nice to browse through. The owner Keith is a really nice guy and he knew us both by name after only a couple of weeks.
My husband loves that he was able to just give them a list of the comics he reads and they will put everything aside for him and give him a discount too (and yes, they do apply a proper discount).
I was impressed because I’m used to being «just the wife» in these places and usually ignored. Not here though. Keith suggested a comic for me and gave me an issue to read. It was awesome. I read comics now too lol.
They also do special orders if you need back issues etc and will even trade with other stores to get you what you’re looking for.

Clean, nostalgic and time well spent is all I ask for in a comic book store. This one hits all these points. No longer do I have to weave my way through towers of comic books stacked higher than I am tall. No more moments where it is almost impossible to find that one comic book employee without having to wonder if I was going to disturb him/​her during their final stage combat of some «fill in the blank» quest game.
I perused through the store with ease and people working here were visible and were consciously going help you find what you were looking for. There is a section for sport cards, comics, figurine toys, and a subtle area where people gather to play magic or some other card game.
Great space and great to spend a lazy afternoon.

I’ve been frequenting this shop since I got back into comics a few years ago. I’ve since moved out of the neighbourhood, but I still make out here for my purchases. Aside from the chipper staff and good selection, it’s great to go into a comic shop where you don’t have to slink through to avoid knocking over random stacks of things! Everything is laid out very well, with a big assortment of back issues and deals. Well worth checking out to feed your nerdy vices!

I bumped into these guys at Fan Expo 2013 this weekend. I have been meaning to get to this location, however, geographically speaking it was a bit far for me, therefore, glad that I was able to hit this up. Their booth had a wide variety of comics and collectibles, a fraction of what the store carries. The guys at the table were super friendly and helpful and the prices were fair.
I have seen this store in passing on the way to my hair dresser many times but their hours of operation were weirdly not matched with my hair timing (long story). Good to see a business like this in an area that seriously needs a retail consumer make-​over.

One of the best comic book stores I’ve ever been to.
I’m used to going to Big B Comics in Hamilton Ontario and this place feels very similar. It’s how comic book stores should be run.

The new location for Taz comics! A huge move from their old old spot that they have been for atleast more than 10 years. This is the new place they are at with the same owner!
Pretty excited to finally come here as I was passing by the other day. I had to see their new store. The first thing I realized when I entered the store was that it was HUGE! The store size has pretty much doubled in size and it doesn’t seem so clustered anymore. That is a good thing :3
The store still has their HUGE amount of inventory. Not surprised, and everytime I go there I always find something I can buy. I am pretty happy that the owner keeps the store stocked up with comic books and new products to sell!
Now there are LARGE tables in the back of the store, I can really see a nice group of Magic card players and YuGiOh stuff going on there as well. There is parking in the back, so it is still conmvient as ever if you are to drive, since his customers have mostly grown up…
Of course the owner is friendly and still nice as ever. I am pretty happy he chose this new location to move to! It is an amazing store. I would come here more often if I had the time to play Magic the Gathering with my friends and have a GREAT time! :D
