Funny Papers

Whenever I'm close to Dobie Mall I have to stop by Funny Papers and check out the great selection of Comics. They've expanded and the store is so much more than it used to be. Whether you're into Comics, Toys, Action Figures, etc. you're sure to find something you can't live without. The staff is down to earth, helpful and friendly. The perfect, Classic Austin Comic Book store! more

Funny Papers store is located in the Dobie Mall near the campus of UT Austin. They've got a great selection of the newest comics, trades, toys, and games. When you visit this store, you really can read some funny book, and when you leave, you are just full of happiness. So this store is a very good place to searching fun. more

What a difference a few years make. Once upon a time there wasn't much to be impressed with at Funny Papers. It was a small comic shop and gaming store whose primary virtue for comics readers was probably its location: in the Dobie right next to UT. Well, Funny Papers is still in the Dobie, but they've got a much larger shop now (on the second floor, near the movie theater), filled to the brim with great comics (and trade paperback reprints of comics) including most mainstream (superhero) material, and plenty of neat Indy stuff. Every time I go to a movie at the Dobie now and I end up visiting their shop and spending more than I planned. Austin is blessed with many great comicbook stores, including Austin Books and Dragon's Lair. Now Funny Papers is another reason Austin is a great place to be a comicbook fan. more
