Because they offer exclusive S&N exlibris (illustrated bookplate) free with many of the albums they…read moresell, this should be the first BD shop you visit when in Paris. Historically, many BD shops offered exclusive exlibris to entice customers to buy the album from them as opposed to their competition. Only a few produce exlibris anymore, but Super Heros still does! So if you are looking for a particular album, you might as well check to see if this shop is offering it with an exlibris.

An absolute must-see for fans of BD. Amazing place. One of my favorite stores on the planet.read more

I love shops like Album Comics, and we have several of them in the States. I often find, however,…read morethat the random paraphernalia found in comic book stores is overpriced in the States. Either I'm wrong about that or Parisians are paying out the nose eight times for their whimsical gift items. Still, the shop is well-stocked and very fun to browse. You can find a huge selection of action figures and little toys related to various areas of pop culture - animes, video games, movies, cartoons, etc. I enjoyed a whole set of wands from the Harry Potter movies, as well as uniforms and Hermione's time turner. There are Twilight trinkets too, of course. An army of figurines from One Piece line a glass case, and Matt B. and I found a trove of Barbapapa toys. I almost bought a Raving Rabbid before deciding it was way too expensive. Of course, there are comic books too, and plenty of other random knick-knacks. The vibe of the place is just fun and conducive to a long browse. It's located near the Sorbonne, so I'm sure it gets student traffic. I know I would spend some time here if I were a student and it were in my path.

So inviting/clean, interesting and easy to browse. Lighting was also great. The way everything, the…read morecomics in particular, are arranged makes it easy to find what you came for or be introduced to new items. Large selection of comics in French and English. Loved it here!

La Rubique a Bulles is hands down my favorite Bandes Desinees (French comics) shop in Paris. I've…read morelived in the city for three years, and these guys are the first shop I found, and are still my favorite. They introduced me to various sci-fi, fantasy and adventure series when I first started learning French. Even three years later I find myself always going to the shop. The guys who work there are super cool, always remember your recent purchases, and always have great staff picks. They also have a fidelity program for repeat customers. Their shop is small, but always stocked with the best choices. I also recently was able to order a hard-to-find Mobius BD, that I failed to hunt down online. Lastly, they stay open until 20h30 (Mon - Sat) so it's easy for me to pop-in and grab a volume after a late day at the office.

Regardless they had a pretty good selection of english language comics from Marvel, DC, Image, etc. I didnt see any translated into french for the specific ones I had hoped for.

From the owner: Le nom de notre librairie vient des premiers mots du fils de son fondateur qui, il y a 10 ans,…read morenous a offert la moitié du fond afin qu'un copain étudiant et moi la reprenions. On trouve dans nos magasins des rues Dante et Serpente près de 15.000 livres, avec des tas d'éditions originales ou épuisées, mais aussi des albums à moindre prix, pour le simple plaisir de lire de la BD.

Très mauvaise expérience dans cette librairie. Je suis venue avec mes deux amies récupérer des…read morelivres que nous avions commandés. Au départ tout se passe bien, les libraires sont aimables. J'explique que je vais payer avec le compte Labaz d'une de mes amies et on me répond clairement que ce n'est pas un problème, qu'il suffit soit que la personne soit présente soit de montrer sa pièce d'identité. Je cherche donc la pièce d'identité de mon amie et la montre, et là une des libraires aux cheveux courts devient soudainement très désagréable et change complètement de discours en disant que finalement la personne doit obligatoirement être présente. Quand je lui fais remarquer qu'elle venait de nous dire l'inverse, elle commence à chercher des excuses qui n'avaient ni queue ni tête. Elle mentionnait sans arrêt "sa responsable" qui aurait donné cette consigne, mais cette dernière n'est jamais venue nous parler directement. Je trouve ça assez lâche de faire passer ses employées pour des messagères au lieu de venir expliquer la situation aux clientes. Une librairie devrait être un endroit agréable, mais l'attitude froide et agacée de certaines employées a vraiment gâché l'expérience.
