They've been in business for forty years and it's easy to see why. They've cultivated a welcoming environment for everyone from the "comic book nerd" to the novice.

From the outside, it sits quietly in a North Austin shopping center near Hop Doddy's. If you blink, you might miss it. Once you step through the doors, you feel transported to a totally different place like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter story. You find shelves of comics, books, games...everywhere your imagination can take you. Dragon's Lair has been part of the Austin community since 1986. You feel a rush to flip through comics, try on costumes or transport yourself to a fantasy land. New releases co-exist with long loved series. Graphic novels, tabletop games, miniatures, dice, and collectibles are readily available. The prices at Dragon's Liar appear reasonable. According to the store manager, the tables within the store are reserved for Magic tournaments, Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) campaigns, and board games spread across tables. The energy is welcoming fostering collaboration between new and existing players. The shop cats, Diana and Brigid, wander through aisles like they own the place, which makes Dragon Liar feel homey and welcoming. The store stays open late sometimes, acknowledging that games and stories don't always fit neatly into set hours. Dragon's Lair is huge, busy, sometimes overwhelming in a good way. It reflects Austin's creative culture...inclusive, and deeply passionate.

I was in from San Diego and looked up local comic stores in Austin to visit while visiting…read morerelatives. This store was clean, well-organized and had quite a variety of comic-related items. I was on a treasure hunt for silver-age JLA. Found a lot. Tim double-checked the pricing and updated some of them, which was an honest thing to do. It decreased some of the prices, which made me buy more. Later, I decided that a bookend pewter statue needed to be in my home, so I called and bought it. Tim was upfront and said it was damaged and knocked a significant amount off it. McCaela was great in answering my questions about shipping. This is a great place with great customer service and I'll be back for sure.

Let me start off by saying I traveled everywhere looking for the right comic book store here in…read moreAustin, Texas. Finally, I stumble into this place. The gentleman was gracious. The music was great and he was very informative about what I was looking for. Nicely hooked me up with their monthly program so I can get all the comics I needed, and they were on point for about six months. Then comes my birthday, very excited to bring my son in and grab my monthly comics. I called the shop on the day of my birthday and the lady owner answered the phone, at this point I have met all the gentleman and just wanted to introduce myself. Me: " Hello who am I speaking with? Her: " I didn't give a name" Me: " correct that's why I'm asking" Her: what can I do for you" Me: " id like to know who I'm speaking with please" Her " This is Kings Cache" Me" I understand that I'm a new member and just checking in on my comics" then her tune changed. Graciously she wanted to be friendly instead of acknowledging me from the beginning and being secretive and ominous. All of this came from her with a very cantankerous attitude and resistance to lead with the right customer service. They have caller ID there, so usually when I call the fellas already acknowledge me but name. Can't believe the fake high road this lady wanted to drive on. I've had nothing but great experiences and then I call and she gives me two shades of gray. Buyer beware, they are nice til they grab ya, then ounce they have you, the care to get to know you or give you the respect you deserve is obsolete. The one gentleman is great the other two could care less for you. Austin Books and Comics and Batcity comics have now graciously taken my business. Which is good because if I see another funko pop my head will explode. Stick with dolls and leave the comics to the big boys. Just because it's a hobby doesn't mean you have to give it a bankers mentality. Ebay, Other stores and Collector conventions offer too much competition. Be better humans. You made this guy feel awful on a day that was so important you won't realize. At the end of the day you just had to be nice, you know who you were and to that my circles and collectors corners will not drive from hill country anymore to spend our disposable income. Thank goodness Batcity just opened up. Can get two more comics for the gas saved!!! I hope this helps do better, because I'm still reeling and this message doesn't do what I witnessed justice.

They do have a good supply of books at the front of the store. There was a set up for gamers in the back of the store. There is a cool incentive to buy books here where you can earn points when you buy something that can add up to $5 off your next purchase. Neat. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'd come back here.

The area it is in is a strip mall so there are other things around to take a look at. On one visit, my friend wanted to know the status of an order she had placed, and if the shop could change the name on her order. The guy behind the counter helped change the name no problem. He was super efficient and even checked if there was anything else that needed to be altered in the system on the shop's end. I thought this was really rad. They have the standard comic book store items. It is not huge, but it is well organized and they're willing to order any books they do not have in stock already. Stop in if you're in the area.

I personally have never been there and I was under the impression that it was a sport memorabilia and movie-collectables. It I was surprised at the vast majority of items. They had the usual sports memorabilia but movie, television, anime, music, books and collectables. But that's not the end, they had high end purses, Egyptian artifacts, Mesopotamian artifacts, ancient swords and world war ll artifacts. They run the gamut of unusual items. If you can't find it here you'll probably won't find it anywhere, or you can ask they might be able to find it for you. Because the people are super friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend this place for finding that unique gift or item you are looking for.
