Universal Export - Back Issue Comics

Me and my friend visited today and spoke to the owner who was there. He was very knowledgeable and we stood chatting about comics, manga, etc, for around 40 minutes. It was lovely to have such good conversation and I could see how passionate and knowledgeable he was in his job! If I’m ever in Newcastle again I’ll be back! Great for collectibles and also just for general buying 😊

Destination for comic collectors.
Scott is always buying in stock and I couldn't believe the range, he tries to keep it in order but is also happy for browsers to go through recently arrived comic boxes!
Not much silver age, but slabbed and unusual titles.
I found a few gems that I was after and he prices his comics to sell.
I'd love to see the store expand - it's very small but dense with stock.
Well worth a visit.

What a gem this store is! The best shop I’ve been in for back issues. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff too! A must visit for comic collectors

Great selection of comics, but what really makes the experience is the shop keeper - very knowledgeable and passionate, gave us excellent recommendations. 10/10

Best back issue comic shop around by a country mile, been going for years, knowledgeable, friendly, good prices, good inventory and gives good deals also, highly recommended AAA +++, I need to go back soon, it's been too long since I've been, awesome shop.

Good things come in small packages. If you are looking for back issues, this is a great shop to check out. You could easily spend hours going through the boxes - I got (among others) 2 silver age Green Lantern issues at very fair prices. The owner and the young lady he employs were great fun to talk to, so much so, I went back again later the same day to buy some more comics. I would definitely recommend checking them out if you are in the area.

Me and my husband have started collecting comic books properly and we stumbled upon this shop after a quick Google search to see if there were any other comic book stores in Newcastle aside from Travelling Man and Forbidden Planet. This is a little gem hidden away in the Grainger Market, what me and my husband love about it is the fact that the owner is very knowledgeable, we collect purely DC and Batman comics and he knows about them all, he can even look at a cover and tell you what the story is about and which characters get introduced etc. What sets this comic book store apart from the others is that he carries a lot of old copies of comics that would otherwise be difficult to get hold of, we collect mostly for the artwork on the covers as we love to display them but since visiting here we have decided to start reading them and getting into the stories as we were missing out. The guy encouraged us to start reading them. The only downside is they need a bigger shop as it gets very busy on the weekends and because he has so much stock it would be nice to have a bigger shop to look around in. Definitely worth a visit!

Great little comic shop with a really wide range to look through. The owner was more than happy to help me find a specific collection of comics and sold them at a great price. Will definitely pop in again, when I’m back in Newcastle.

Was on a minicruise from Holland to Newcastle and i looked up the local comicbook stores a couple of days before. I always prefer those little shops where you can dig through rows up rows of boxes and just do some treasure hunting. Found myself a nice slabbed ultimate spider-man and a raw version in polybag of the same but there was so much more! Learning that what was in the shop was just a very small percentage of the total stock, made me very happy and i am looking forward to coming back for more. I highly recommend checking out this shop if you are into comics.

Been buying books from this mature master of the graphic medium for a long time and have always been impressed, nay..in awe of their knowledge and love for the subject. Here can be found not only an amazing selection of titles, both common and rare, but a friendly welcome and wise tongue. Whether you know nothing about comics or think you know it all, a visit to this emporium of esoteric entertainment is not to be missed.

Amazing comic shop, better than travelling man and forbidden planet thats for sure just because of the staff alone! Which makes the absolute ludicrous amount of comics so much better! Owner is extremely friendly and happy to talk comics which is always appreciated, cannot recommend enough! :)

What a place! Just taken my youngest in as he wanted to get involved in the scene. The advice, encouragement and generosity of the owner was simply great to see. Sam's face lit up and he's so excited to get reading straight away. Thanks for the peace and quiet bud, really appreciate what you have done there. We will spread the word

Top little shop with 1000s of comics in it, guy really knows his stuff and has always been friendly and chatty when I've gone in, this is what a back issue comic shop should be. Can't recommend it enough, we'll worth a visit.

Awesome shop great owner so knowledgeable be going again

Thought I would visit the shop on a flying visit to the area, heard it was an aladdins cave of goodies, and it was, well worth the
trip, the owner Scott is a top guy, we talked for ages about all sorts of stuff.

Trust me when I say if your into comics or graphic novels, this should be your first stop

👍👍

This store is amazing and totally ninja! I got 5 free comics and the owner was very helpful and very knowledgeable, It has very rare comics, there will be something here for you.

Can't tell people how much I love this little shop, it's jam packed with comic floor to roof and the owner is like a comic encyclopedia. Great shop... Its pretty much the only reason I go to Newcastle lol

Nice guy always very helpful, very informative if like myself you like comics but don't know the writers ect, he will advise you, also I find the prices are good value.

The owner is a nice guy he knows his stuff helping me out with recommendations like the punisher he sead was a good read now it's my favourite series so thank you

Best place for comics in the north, i have looked around for a while and not found one as good as this! Over 60,000 comics!
