A venerable business, Larson's Comics and Games has been in operation since 1976, and has in that time become the largest comic/game store in Saint Paul. From the mainstream to the obscure, the flavor of the month to the historic collectible, any graphic novel you want can be found at Larson's—or else special ordered. The store boasts a sizable manga collection, and holds periodic screenings of rare anime movies. It also has a second floor primarily devoted to tabletop gaming, offering table space for roleplaying games and miniature wargames, and has a vast stock of lender terrain and rulebooks. A significant number of groups make Larson's their home base for such pursuits, and the store offers reasonably-priced snacks and beverages to capitalize on this.
