Travelling Man

This store is one by the books. You find here all the things one should expect to find in a comic store. A nice selection of graphic novels, magazines and floppies.
If you’re looking for British stuff like Judge Dredd or more obscure older stuff, look no further. There are some nice promotions running when we were there. So if you’re strapped but want your comic fix, this is a good place for that.
Traveling Man is a nice and friendly comic book store. On the first look nothing special. But wait there is more. In the basement you can find all kinds of gaming things. If you’re into card of table games, this is a must visit when in Leeds.

What can I say, I love this shop, and I spend a decent amount of time here, looking through the graphic novels, comics and zines. I am very much into independent and self published works, and they offer that here, though I would like to see even more :) (there is plenty really I am just greedy: p)
The staff here are really good too, relaxed and really know their stuff, whenever I have asked them about something, no matter how stupid, they have always been happy to help and showed me the way,
The lay out is good too, and I can usually find the kind of stuff I am looking for. Whenever I have visited their other branches I have always had the same experience, and they seem to communicate very well between stores.
They also do a loyalty card scheme that allows for discounts on selected comments, a points scheme and an e-​newsletter, which is good. Travelling Man and OK Comics in themselves serve me a good purpose to pop into town.

One of the true gems of Leeds, if you like comics, role-​playing games and other fantastic nerdy stuff then this is the place to go. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, as well as a great selection of comic books.

Definitely my favourite comic book shop in Yorkshire. The staff are so friendly and easy-​going, it feels like family now I’ve been going for over a year. They have a very large range of comics, t-​shirts and books and their supplier on speed-​dial.
Their loyalty card, SUPER CARD GO!, is worth buying for £3 as it offers discount on selected books (I’ve already saved over the price of the card in my first transaction) and you also collect loyalty card points.
Downstairs are board games and card games (Magic The Gathering etc), and they have frequent signing events — I recently met one of my favourite artists, Becky Cloonan, at a signing there. It was awesome.

I am such a nerd. Seriously. I wandered into this place one day and I thought my head was going to explode in glee. I like graphic novels. I don’t read as many of them as I’d like, but I do geek out about them on occasion. But mainly… I love board games. My husband and I already own quite a few, including two zombie board games, and we’re always looking to expand our board game collection. So when I walked downstairs and saw the variety of board games in the Travelling Man I was in heaven! One of the employees gave me a little tour of what they had and explained which games he would recommend for my zombie fascination, etc. He was really friendly and helpful and increased my enthusiasm ten fold. I’ve gotten a couple expansion packs and a few odds and ends and I have never been disappointed. So… if you like graphic novels, toys and games (and seriously… who doesn’t?) you will LOVE this place. So what are you waiting for???

Oh lord, if this place provided sleeping bags, I swear I’d live here.
There’s a bit of something for everyone, all standard prints are there, as well as boxes and boxes of cheap back issues to dive into and rummage between. Nice selection of books and toys, and an absolute cavern of assorted games and Warhammer accessories downstairs for the discerning roleplayer.
Staff are always really friendly and happy to chat with, and I’m always made aware of local geekery events.
Can’t big this place up enough, I only wish my bank account was larger to accommodate everything I want (need).

Travelling man is a great shop, the staff are really friendly and always willing to help. The shop is small but is packed to the brim with all kinds of reading treasure, it is definatley worth a visit.

Love this shop the content and staff are both brilliant, as has already been mentioned this shop is only for you if you are interested in what they stock but if manga, comics and the rest of the stock is to your taste then you cant go wrong having a look in and talking to the staff if you want some guidance.

Well priced and a good collection available, staff are all really friendly and not snooty like in many comic stores I have experienced.
Very compact store but were still happy for me and hubby to browse with pram and bubby in tow, even helped up get around store by moving a box or two with no complaints and very cheery.

This shop is a little treasure trove for anybody who likes comics, games or manga. You can buy absolutely hundreds of comics and annuals from here along with action figure toys and ornaments.
The prices are good and you’re sure to find something you like. I’m not a comic book fan but even I was impressed with the selection and happily looked around for a good twenty minutes.

I adore this shop. I suppose this kind of establishment is a bit of an acquired taste sort of place, but if you happen to love comics, games and cute little manga toys, then this shop is perfect for you. It is a total geek fest that makes me giddy when I walk through the doors.
The ground floor is wall-​to-​wall lined with comics, graphic novels and books — with such esteemed publishers as Marvel, Dark Knight and Tokyo Pop and many more. They also have a large selection of t-​shirts, for both genders, with quirky cool cartoons on, such as a fire-​breathing dinosaur with stick people running away from it, or a crocodile/​dragon type creature that says «Ra.»
The downstairs is gamesville. They have hoards and hoards of different board games for any number of different players. My absolute favourite is ‘Settlers of Catan’. This is a brilliant strategy game that you can play with your friends — I’d recommend at least four players. They also have tables and seats for you to relax in and enjoy a hot drink.
Finally, the staff are absolutely excellent. Once I went in to grab an add-​on to a board game for that evening, we were having friends round and we all wanted to play a new version. I knew exactly which one I wanted and headed downstairs to grab it only to discover they didn’t have that one in. I went to ask the guy that was working there if they had it in storage perhaps.
They didn’t have it, but he informed me that the manager of the shop was going to be coming back from the Newcastle branch later that day, so he said he’d ask him if he could pick one up and bring it back for me! Sure enough, he rang his manager who went and found one, and arranged for me to come and collect it a few hours later that day! They even promised to keep the shop open for an extra half hour if I couldn’t be there in time. That is customer service.

One of the few shops that seems to have benefited from its relocation from the now defunct Corn Exchange, Travelling Man has made the most of its new, larger premises and expanded its stock, even adding a small but cosy coffee shop in the basement. As ever, its a haven for geeks of every creed, with graphic novels, comics and manga battling for room on the shelves with film memorabilia, fantasy figurines and games of the cards and multi-​sided dice variety. The staff know their stuff, and are clued-​up on the new releases as well as classic comics and films and just about anything else you might want to ask them, and the vibe is friendly and welcoming. If you enjoy spending your afternoons drinking coffee and discussing who would win a fight between Iron Man and Dr Manhattan, this is the place for you.

Great comic bookshop with loads of manga and comics. Very friendly staff.

Good comic book shop. Real friendly staff and they sell amazing coffee downstairs! Seriously, the gingerbread coffee tasted like magic!!! Selection of comcs isnt too great, but still, have a peak! You might find a gem!
