Orbital Comics, now in our tenth successful year, remains Central London’s favourite comic shop, stocking everything the modern comic enthusiast could possibly desire, from weekly shipments of imported comic books, tons of those hard to find back-issues, graphic novels and all the latest collected editions available.

In addition, we have a large section dedicated solely to manga and anime, stocked with dozens of english-translated titles and manga related merchandise, including PVC statues, trading figures, keychains and plushies.

Orbital also features the biggest and best selection of vintage comics in London. We regularly purchase collections and have a high number of Bronze, Silver and Modern Age comics arriving all the time.

Our shelves and cabinets are filled with vintage toys and collectibles frequently sourced from all over the world, in addition to T-shirts, posters, art prints and general comics related merchandise and paraphernalia.

We support the independent creators out there too, with a very well stocked indie section. Have a look at Orbital Small Press for a list of titles we carry, links to indie publishers and artists, staff recommendations and general small press information.

Orbital regularly hosts signings and events featuring the current legends of comics. Our gallery has shown an unparalleled series of exhibitions, which often present a chance to pick up some original artwork and a real piece of comic book history. Check Orbital Events for news on upcoming events and to see some of the shining lights of the medium who we’ve been honoured to host over the last few years.

Uniquely for a comic shop, we present weekly reviews and commentary on The Orbiting Pod Podcast, which regularly features interviews with star creators and the movers and shakers of the world of comics.

Orbital is very conveniently located in London’s West End, just a few seconds walk away from Leicester Square Station. We are open seven days a week, from 10:30 to 19:00 Mondays to Saturdays and 11:30 to 5:00 on Sundays, with an extra half hour every Wednesday and Thursday.
