St. Catharines, ON has 1 comic book shops on the map. Just the one mapped comic shop in St. Catharines — ask about a pull list on your first visit, that's how the regulars do it. Don't skip the back issues: the wall of new releases is marketing, the long boxes are the shop's real memory.

Comic shop tips for St. Catharines

The Wednesday ritual, St. Catharines edition:

• Pre-order the big events at Big B Comics. Major storylines sell out. Pre-ordering through your shop guarantees your copy and helps them order right.
• Visit on Free Comic Book Day. First Saturday in May. Free comics, creators, costumes — the best day to discover a new shop.
• 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.
• Ask about complete runs. Shops often have full series in the back issues that aren't on display. Ask — the hunt is half the fun.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around St. Catharines — 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 St. Catharines 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.
