For over 20 years, Album Comics has been the reference address for all fans of American comics. Since 2021, the address has also had an annex dedicated to manga. To the delight of residents of the Latin Quarter.

Figurines everywhere, collectors' posters, a giant Batman and an X-Wing on the ceiling... There's no doubt about it, we're in the ultimate pop culture fan's den. Since the early 2000s, Album Comics has been the reference address for all geeks and otakus in Paris. Located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, just a stone's throw from Boulevard Saint-Michel and the Collège de France, the store is undoubtedly one of the finest bookshops in Paris.

Originally, it was a bookshop specializing exclusively in French and foreign-language comics. Over the years, however, the store has expanded to include figurines, posters, merchandising, as well as pop-culture novels and coffee-table books. And since 2021, when Momie took over the brand, two new stores have opened. Two new stores have opened, one dedicated to manga, the other to manga-related products.
