In-Depth Information
In some ways this seems an unlikely location for a science fiction-fantasy comic book-
shop, but in other ways it makes perfect sense. Regardless, this is the place to come for
comics and graphic novels both mainstream and obscure (in English and Swedish), as well
as books, games, toys and posters. Friendly staff will help you find obscure treasures.

Historic department store PUB is best known as the former workplace of Greta Garbo, and
advertisements still work that angle pretty strongly. It's a major fashion and lifestyle hub,
carrying fresh Nordic labels like Stray Boys, House of Dagmar and Baum & Pferdgarten.
Refuel at the slinky cafe-bar.
