Top Comic Book Stores in Vancouver, Washington

Reading the latest Marvel and DC comics on hot summer days, while drinking a cold Coke and snacking on some Fritos, is one of my memories of summer. Batman, Spiderman, and all sorts of other comics passed through my hands as a kid and I quickly read them. I also got into manga as well, but found it to be very different from the typical American comic books. Growing up, I did not have loads of comic books, but I read all I could get my hands on. Clark County in Vancouver, Washington does not have as many comic book shops as other cities, but there are still several great ones. Z Games used to be one of the best in the area, unfortunately they have recently closed their business and dedicated comic fans must look elsewhere for their comic book fix. You may need to drive a little further to reach these shops, but definitely check them out if you are a collector of comic books and live in the Vancouver, Washington area.

Odyssey Comics
10711 Northeast Highway 99
Vancouver, WA‎
(360) 573-6172‎
Odyssey is a smaller comic store, right next to a convenience store on the busy Highway 99. Expect to see lots of used car dealerships and seedy motels in this area. However, Odyssey itself is a decent comic book store with a nice selection. They even sometimes carry some non-comic book, gaming related material, like the Mech Warrior: Dark Age kits (several years ago). If driving north on Highway 99 (it is more of a normal street, not a true "highway"), Odyssey Comics in on your right side, just before the Velvet Hammer auto repair and the large church, both also on the right side when traveling north.

Amazing Stories
2101 East 4th Plain Boulevard
Vancouver, WA‎
(360) 433-9407‎
Also in a slightly less affluent part of town, Amazing Stories is another popular comic book store in Clark County. 4^th Plain Boulevard can be quite busy during peak traffic times, so be careful when finding Amazing Stories for the first time. They also deal in other collectibles besides comic books, including trading sports cards.

The Dame Comic Shop
Northeast 142nd Avenue
Vancouver, WA‎
(360) 980-4568‎
A new one in the area, the Dame Comic Shop is closer to the area serviced by the once-popular Z- Games comic and miniature wargaming store. East County residents may find this one more convenient.
