Science Fiction Bookshop

Gamla Stan


In some ways this seems an unlikely location for a science fiction–fantasy comic bookshop, but in other ways it makes perfect sense. Regardless, this is the place to come for comics and graphic novels both mainstream and obscure (in English and Swedish), as well as books, games, toys and posters. Friendly staff will help you hunt down treasures.
