Countless wares, fascinating for all ages, fill this shop. Not just comics but also action figures, T-shirts, posters, and novelties.

Casual city clothing is the staple product here. The store has its own good-quality brand of clothes. Other “urban” items, from aromatherapy candles to kitsch decorations, are stocked intermittently.
