B & D Comic Shop

There's a reason B&D is the oldest comic shop in the Valley... Terry and her comic shop crew care! If you don't see something ASK! I am always welcomed with a smile and asked if I need help. If you are looking for a sprawling store full of far fetched prices this is not that place. They have a humble and smart business model built upon honesty and kindness topped by being informative about the comics that they sell. I follow them on Facebook for store news. EXCELSIOR!

Always My go to shop for current SPAWN Issues! They always treat me and my fiancé like family and have had my business steady for the last 7 years since I've been in the area. I honestly couldn't see me going anywhere else to get my weekly pickups. A great staff with a great selection of current comics and a pretty good selection of back issues as well. A great business overall.

This spot has a ton of new issues of most of major titles, and the employees are very friendly. Oh, and of course, the building's log cabin design is very cute. However, I was just a little disappointed when I discovered that they don't really carry a lot of Silver Age comics.

Hey, I'm a fan of the 60s and 70s, and that is where my webshooter, Mjolnir, or batarang needs to be. Bring out the old stuff so that I can say, "Hulk Smash!"

I got back into comic books after reading them as a kid. It's a great way to unplug and escape for an hour. B&D has very friendly staff and all the new comics, plus a lot of old ones too. After looking for some new comics and finding them unavailable, they offered to order them for me. I'm setup so they'll pull my comics for me and keep them until I can come in, charging me either then or on the 1st of the month. That's really helpful since I'm only in Roanoke once a month. Their staff are really helpful in recommending comics to check out and they've helped me find that childhood passion of reading comics again.

I went here while in town for work. Decent sized shop but if you are looking for anything from the 80s or earlier this is not your place. That being said they have a great selection of modern age (2000-current) comics. They also have many TPBs & other comic related items. The staff was very friendly & helpful.

I was in Roanoke for business and decided to indulge another one of my vices: comic books. It's a nice, well-stocked store with a healthy amount of singles and back issues. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and they are more than willing to help you search through all of their back issues to find the one you want.

When I'm in Roanoke again, I'm going back.

It's not Isotope in SFO but it's pretty good for Roanoke. Service is good, owners are friendly, comic selection is decent.

I don't recognize the experience that Daniel describes, things have obviously changed since the 1980's.

An amazing comic book shop with a friendly owner and great staff. A great collection of trades and many boxes of back issues. A box can be reserved and all new comics you request will be ordered and put aside for you. I may be away at school but I always get all the books I want thanks to this great service.

I feel immensely lucky that a town as small as Roanoke has such an excellent comic store. Not just a store, but a hub of Roanoke's geek culture. Terry and the folks she hires are all friendly and helpful (NOT the stereotypical comic shop guy). If you've never tried comics, they're great at helping you find the right place to start. They also take tradebacks. The only negative is that they don't keep the small print titles in stock; you have to order them.

I LOVE this place. Love it. Not big into comic books, but I do read some. However, when I have the chance, I always go in with my husband. I love the staff. You couldn't ask for better. They know anything and everything you could need or want to know. Also, my kids come in, and they don't freak out at all that I brought my kids. Need something and it's not on site? They are more than willing to help you find it, or order it for you.
