Comic Book Lounge + Gallery Toronto, The

With the closing of Toronto’s landmark Dragon Lady Comics & Paper Nostalgia after 33 years in business in February 2011, a group of interested individuals conceived a plan to keep a part of Dragon Lady alive on College Street and vital to the comics community. The initial plan was conceived by Joe Shuster Awards Executive Director Kevin A. Boyd, who approached Sean Menard, the director of the Toronto Cartoonists Workshop about using a large part of the existing space reserved for the TCW and turning it into a comics shop, lounge area and art gallery devoted to comics and comics art. Former Dragon Lady manager Joe Kilmartin continues as store manager at the Comic Book Lounge + Gallery. We are committed to providing excellent service, and a hassle-free environment for aficionados of every age and gender. We are building a unique shopping environment that is both store and community space – with our neighbours the TCW and Guerilla Printing, The Comic Book Lounge & Gallery is your one stop source for comics, graphic novels and original art.
