Comic book shops in Yellowknife

The map for Yellowknife, NT's comic shops is still blank. Our search covered roughly 40 km around Yellowknife, looking through OpenStreetMap for comic shops, and turned up nothing mapped so far. Blank maps are usually a mapping gap rather than a real gap. This page refreshes daily from the latest map data, so a blank today can be a full guide tomorrow.

Why comic shops matter

A comic shop is a town's geek community centre: the Wednesday regulars, the game nights, the staff who know your taste better than any algorithm. Lose them and the community scatters to the internet. That's why this page exists even with nothing to list — we'd rather show an honest blank than invent shops in Yellowknife.

Yellowknife sits about 62° 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.

Every shop that gets mapped here appears in alphabetical order with what the community map knows: address, hours, website. No sponsored slots, ever.

Comic smarts for Yellowknife

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

• 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.
• Pre-order the big events. Major storylines sell out. Pre-ordering through your shop guarantees your copy and helps them order right.
• Bag and board your finds. Acid-free bags and backing boards cost pennies and save collections. Shops sell them; buy them there.
• Check the trade paperbacks. Collected editions are the economical way to read full runs. The trades wall is the best value in the shop.
