Newbury Comics
What began as a comic book store founded by two MIT students in 1978 has evolved into a New England retail powerhouse with nearly 30 locations across the Northeast. While Newbury Comics has expanded well beyond music to include toys, apparel, and pop culture items, its flagship Boston location remains a mecca for music lovers. The stores are known for stocking limited edition colored vinyl pressings, rare box sets, and an impressive array of indie and alternative music alongside mainstream releases. The atmosphere combines suburban mall nostalgia with authentic musical curation.
