Final Frontier Exeter: Comics and Collectibles

If you are into comics, Final Frontier Exeter is a shop worth knowing about. It is a comic book shop and memorabilia store at 53 South Street, Exeter EX1 1EE. The shop sells comics, graphic novels and related merchandise, including collectibles and figures. The range includes recent publications from DC and Marvel, vintage issues and some rarer items. Outside comics, you will find figures, posters and merchandise from series such as Doctor Who and The Walking Dead. The shop does not stock manga, and space is limited, so it is a small place to browse.

Comics are priced at £1, and the shop sometimes runs offers on top of that. Customers say the products are well packaged and in good condition. If a title is not on the shelves, you can order it, and you can also set up a standing order so that new issues are kept for you. In-store pick-up is available for orders. The shop has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and accepts credit and debit cards as well as mobile NFC payments.

The owner, whom reviews often refer to as Jim, comes up again and again. Reviewers describe him as knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and say he gives personal recommendations based on what you already read. The shop has a 4.5 out of 5 rating on Google Maps from 55 reviews. On Wheree it scores 7.8 out of 10, with 9.5 for product variety, 9.2 for quality, 9.4 for customer service, 8.7 for price and 8.5 for location.

The shop opens on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10:30 to 17:00. It is closed on Mondays and Sundays. The listing shows Friday as open 24 hours. Final Frontier is also one of the 49 independent bookshops included on the Exeter Literary Map, a printed map produced by the charity Exeter City of Literature, first launched in 2023 and updated every year. If you plan a visit, the shop is on South Street, and checking the listing before you go is a good idea, since opening times shown online may change.
