Review from Pennylane S.

Out of all the other retailers offering similar product, Lucky's is one of the best. A humble sized store with knowledgeable, laidback and friendly staff.
Merch includes a range of comics/graphic novels/zines/miscellaneous from local and independant to high-end/well known.
They have fun openings and events every now and then. A great opportunity to socialize with fellow artists/nerds! -

When you walk into Lucky's, it's important that you walk directly to the back of the store without looking left or right. Otherwise, you'll end up blowing your book budget before you get the door closed.
Their buying policy is superlative; the trick is to find a book in there which you don't want to buy and give a good home.
Excellent stuff for kids too, including the infamous Hip-Hop Gangsta colouring book.
Props to them for including a gallery in their small space, as well!Listed in: Mainly Main, Books

This sweet, little comic book shop is totally in line with the Main Street vibe: very current, very local, funky, unique & an excellent selection.
A very cool book by Marcel Dzama in the window sucked me into Lucky's...it looks so tiny from the front that I almost didn't go in. That would have been a mistake - they have an outstanding collection of Indy and alternative books & comics! As you pass through the front room, there's a small space jammed with zines, sale items and more local publications...pass through to the back and - WOW - there's a small gallery. On my visit it was featuring panels by a bunch of local artists who had just released a new book. Very, very cool.
If you love comics & are doing the Main Street Stroll, this is an excellent stop. Out of towners - Lucky's card machine would not take my debit card. The owner said that US cards are always a problem for them. So, if you think you might buy, try to be prepared with ca$h! -

While it says Lucky's Comics on the sign, this is not really a comic shop. It's a great tiny shop filled with art books and alternative comics, but if you're coming to find anything else you're probably out of luck. They just don't have room to have a comprehensive selection of single issue comics -- or a wide variety of trade paperbacks either, for that matter. It's a graphic novel/art book/artist book type of place, but it does that really well.
They've got a cute little gallery in the back room and have events and readings fairly regularly. Worth a stop if you're in the neighbourhood! -

My favourite comic book shop in Vancouver. I don't have much to add that hasn't been said already. Probably not the kind of place to go if you're looking for x-men comics, but great if your taste runs more to the D&Q/ Fantagraphics side of things.

If there's a book I want, and there are pictures in it, I'm going to Lucky's to buy it. The place is fantastically stocked (plenty of offerings from McSweeny's and OTSU) with books, graphic novels, funnybooks, collections, and vancouver-focused odds and ends. An instant gift solution and an all around great independent bookstore.

A truly awesome comic book store even though it's about as big inside as your a small studio apartment. If you are looking for the standard superhero comics, that's kind of a low priority at Lucky's. If, like me, you want everything else in the comics world, though, Lucky's has a wonderfully comprehensive selection of "alternative" comics and graphic novels. The owner indulged me for over twenty minutes trying to find something specifically Canadian to take home. He also adjusted prices to reflect real exchange rates regardless of the Canadian dollar price printed on the books.
