Newbury Comics is far beyond just a music store; it offers something for everyone — from the comic book junkie to the old-school punk rocker.

The store may seem overwhelming at first. Upon entering, customers are almost immediately blitzed with an array of studded belts, oddball figurines and probably several tattooed, leather-clad fellow shoppers. However, one soon learns that with a little elbow grease and a thorough plan, you can find anything from porn star action figures, to Simpsons lunch boxes and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sweatshirt.

After passing by hats, Chewbacca figurines and the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll shot glasses, you get to the heart of Newbury Comics — the music.

Carrying one of the most impressive used CD sections and new titles from Jessica Simpson to The Smiths, Newbury Comics can please even the snootiest musical elitist. Besides an array of CDs, Newbury Comics also carries band T-shirts, DVDs and posters.

With some of the rarest finds offered at some of the lowest prices, Newbury Comics is perfect for any student on the hunt to find that rare EP from their favorite artist. Newbury Comics also sells a wide variety of novelties and collectibles perfect for gift giving or enhancing one’s own personal collection.
