What counts as a comic shop in Qualicum Beach

A shop built around comics: new issues, back issues, trades, usually with the games and collectibles alongside. What doesn't count: the graphic-novel shelf at the bookstore, and online-only sellers. The bar is a real shop where Wednesday means new comics.

Qualicum Beach sits about 49° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is peak comics season: dark evenings, the big event storylines running, and the Wednesday ritual at its cosiest.

Comic smarts for Qualicum Beach

No mapped comic shops yet, but the comics habits work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Don't chase variants blindly. Variant covers are fun but most don't appreciate. Buy the art you like, not the ratio you don't understand.
• Check the sale bins. The discount long boxes turn over constantly. A dollar a comic for reading copies is unbeatable.
• Pre-order the big events. Major storylines sell out. Pre-ordering through your shop guarantees your copy and helps them order right.
• Store comics upright, not stacked. Stacking warps spines. Upright in short boxes, not overpacked — that's how collections survive.

The kind of shop that belongs here

Somewhere you can pull a weekly list and dig long boxes: a proper comic shop. Not a bookstore shelf — the real thing.
