Asylum

A great shop to visit. Not only does it stock a great range of comics and graphic novel’s, but it has a huge collection of original art from comics from various different artists, and a gigantic (60’000 and counting supply of) back-​issues, so if you’ve missed an issue of a series you’re collecting, there’s a good chance you could get it here. I’ve managed to get nearly every issue of Hellblazer from here, so is the first target of any comic collector in Aberdeen. The owner has an encyclopedic comic knowledge, and is always happy to give advice.
The shop’s the only one I’ve been to that also has regular signings from people in the comic industry. Artists such as David Lloyd (V for Vendetta), D’israeli (Stickleback), John McCrea (Hitman, The Boys) and Mike Colins (Captain Britain) are regular visitors, as well as writers like Mike Carey (Hellblazer, X-​Men, The Unwritten, Lucifer) and Ian Edginton (Stickleback). In a final note, the owner’s dachshund (Captain), is also famous, having appeared in Garth Ennis’s The Boys spin-​off Highland Laddie.

The only real resource for comics in the city. This place has a vast selection, including the much quirkier stuff, not just best sellers six deep. The staff are helpful and have great knowledge. Got a lot of great recomendations of reading new stuff. Check these guys out.
