Your home for comics, graphic novels, manga, trading cards, figurines and board games. Proudly independent. Right in the heart of Aberystwyth.
Robin's Nest Comics is Aberystwyth's dedicated independent comic book and collectibles shop, bringing the very best of the sequential art world to Ceredigion and West Wales.
Whether you're a lifelong collector who remembers the spinner racks of the 1980s or you've just discovered comics through the latest blockbuster film, you'll find a warm welcome at Robin's Nest. We believe comics are for everyone — and we've built our stock to prove it.
From the latest Marvel and DC issues hitting the shelves each Wednesday, to epic collected editions of classic runs, brand-new manga volumes, rare figurines, and competitive trading card games — we've curated a shop that caters to every corner of geek culture. And if we don't have it, we'll do our best to order it in.
From mainstream superhero epics to underground indie zines, from collector-grade figurines to family board games — we stock it with care and knowledge.
Single issues from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, BOOM! Studios, IDW, and a carefully curated selection of independent publishers. New issues every Wednesday.
Collected editions, trade paperbacks, hardcover omnibuses, and original graphic novels. From classic runs to brand-new original stories — the permanent shelf of sequential art.
A strong and growing manga selection covering shonen, shojo, seinen, josei, and everything in between. From blockbuster titles to hidden gems that deserve more attention.
Booster packs, starter decks, collector tins, singles, and sealed product for all major trading card games. We keep up with new set releases and can advise on any game.
Action figures, articulated collectibles, vinyl statues, and display-grade pieces from all the major lines. Characters from comics, anime, film, and gaming — all shelf-ready.
A hand-picked selection of board games, card games, and tabletop RPG supplements. From gateway games for the whole family to brain-burner strategy titles for seasoned gamers.
New titles arrive every Wednesday. Stock varies weekly. Ask in store for current availability.

Comics and graphic novels are at our heart, but Robin's Nest is a proper geek emporium. Figurines, statues, board games, card games — we stock the things that matter to fans.
From display-grade limited edition statues to daily-carry articulated action figures, our collectibles range covers characters from comics, anime, gaming, and film. We select pieces with care — quality over quantity, always.
Our board game selection is curated with the same passion we bring to everything else. We don't stock everything — we stock the good stuff. Gateway games for new players, strategy titles for serious gamers, and co-op adventures for groups.
Every Single Week
Wednesday is New Comic Book Day — the single most important day of the week if you love comics. Every week without fail, fresh issues arrive from publishers around the world. We have them ready from 10am.
Secure Yours with a Pull ListNew comics, manga volumes, and product from publishers arrive at the shop early in the week, ready for Wednesday morning.
Before anything hits the shelves, we pull and set aside every issue for our pull list customers. Your books are safe before the doors open.
We open at 10am on Wednesdays. Pull list customers can collect their reserved issues. New stock goes on the shelves for everyone to browse.
Browse the new arrivals and ask our staff for a recommendation. We read the stuff we sell, so we can actually tell you what's worth picking up this week.
The pull list service is absolutely brilliant. I've never missed an issue since signing up. The staff always let me know when anything interesting comes out that they think I'd enjoy — that personal touch is what makes it special.
As someone who was completely new to manga, I was a bit nervous walking in. The staff were brilliant — they pointed me towards titles that actually suited my taste, not just the most popular ones. I've been back every week since.
I drive over from Machynlleth specifically for this shop. The trading card selection is genuinely impressive for a town the size of Aberystwyth, and the staff know their stuff. It's the best comic shop in West Wales, full stop.
I bought my nephew a board game for his birthday on their recommendation and the whole family ended up loving it. The staff genuinely enjoy what they do and it shows. This is what a local shop should be.
Picked up my first ever comic here — the staff recommended something perfect for a total beginner. I now have a pull list with six titles on it. Six months ago I'd never read a comic in my life. That's the Robin's Nest effect.
The figurine selection is really strong. They clearly think about what they stock rather than just filling shelves. I've found things here I couldn't find online without waiting weeks. Proper, knowledgeable independent retail at its best.
We're more than a shop — we're a community hub for Aberystwyth's geek scene. From trading card game nights to signing events, there's always something happening at Robin's Nest.
Event dates and details change regularly. Follow us on social media or pop into the shop for the most current information on what's coming up.
The pull list is a simple reservation service. You tell us which ongoing comic titles you want to follow, and we set aside a copy for you every time a new issue arrives. There's no charge to join — you simply pay for the comics when you collect them. You can add or drop titles at any time. Most customers find it's the best way to make sure they never miss an issue of their favourite titles, especially when print runs are limited.
New comics arrive every Wednesday — known in the industry as New Comic Book Day (NCBD). We have new issues on the shelves from when we open at 10am. Pull list customers have their issues reserved before anything goes on general sale. Occasionally, major releases or special events may bring additional deliveries mid-week, but Wednesday is the main day for new single issues.
We carry a selection of back issues in store, though availability varies. If you're looking for a specific older issue, it's worth asking — we may have it in stock or be able to advise on where to find it. For collected editions and trade paperbacks of older runs, we typically have a strong selection or can order them in for you.
Yes, we do our best to accommodate special orders for titles and products we don't normally carry. Pop in or give us a ring to discuss what you're looking for. We'll let you know whether we can get it in and how long it's likely to take. Lead times vary depending on the product and its availability from our distributors.
The best thing you can do is come in and talk to us. We ask a few simple questions — what films, TV shows, or books you enjoy, whether you like superhero stories or prefer something completely different — and we'll point you towards titles that suit your taste. There are brilliant starting points at every publisher, and we'd rather recommend something you'll genuinely love than just sell you whatever's popular. Don't be intimidated by the back catalogue — there are plenty of great, self-contained jumping-on points.
Pop in and ask us about our current offers. We periodically run special offers, particularly around events like Free Comic Book Day. Pull list customers may be eligible for discounts on certain purchases. The best way to stay informed is to follow us on social media or sign up for our occasional newsletter.
We occasionally consider buying or trading second-hand comics and collections, depending on condition and what we need at the time. If you have comics you'd like to part with, bring them in and we'll take a look. We can't guarantee we'll be in a position to buy everything, but we're always happy to have a conversation.

There are several public car parks within easy walking distance of the shop.
