This cozy season, discover new favorites at Omaha’s independent bookstores and comic shops.
Legend Comics & Coffee, an Eisner Award winner, pairs countless comics with strong coffee. Krypton Comics has spent more than 30 years growing from a small idea into a go-to stop for graphic novels, manga, games and collectibles. The Bookworm remains a longtime local favorite, known for its wide selection and knowledgeable staff. Jackson Street Booksellers offers used and rare books for serious treasure hunters, while The Next Chapter stands out with a charming resident rescue parrot and a busy schedule of author talks.
Newer bookstores introduce their own flavor. The Wandering Page blends carefully curated reads with coffee and cocktails. Pop Fiction Bookstore highlights women and LGBTQ+ authors. And, for something truly unique, Paper Crane Books & Tattoo combines an indie bookstore with a licensed tattoo and piercing studio.
