Comic book shops in Atlanta

Comic shops are community centres with long boxes. Atlanta, GA has 1 mapped right now. Just the one mapped comic shop in Atlanta — ask about a pull list on your first visit, that's how the regulars do it. Wednesday is new-comic day everywhere — that's when the regulars show up.

This guide covers every comic shop we could verify in and around Atlanta (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. The one to know is The Raven's Nest Comics & Games. If a comic shop's missing from Atlanta's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about comic shops in Atlanta

1 of the 1 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — comic shops keep reliable retail hours, especially around Wednesday new releases.

The one mapped comic shop sits on 688 Whitlock Avenue Southwest — worth combining with whatever else brings you to that side of town.

Comic shop tips for Atlanta

The Wednesday ritual, Atlanta edition:

• Learn what a key issue is at The Raven's Nest Comics & Games. First appearances and landmark issues — the keys — hold value. The staff can point out which back issues matter.
• Ask about game nights. Many comic shops run Magic, Pokémon, or board game nights. It's the community centre side of the shop.
• Respect the reading copies. The shop's reading copies are for browsing, not bending. Treat them like library books.
• Don't be embarrassed to start. Everyone starts somewhere. 'I've never read comics, where do I begin?' is a question staff hear happily every week.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Atlanta — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new comic shop in Atlanta can take a while to appear. The 1 above are only as current as the community map. A comic shop that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't list stock — it turns over weekly. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 1 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
