San Francisco Comic Book Trail – What Is It?

The Bay Area is lucky to have more than a dozen comic shops within a 20-mile radius. We’ve split a bulk of those shops into two trails: The San Francisco Comic Book Trail and the East Bay Comic Book Trail. Now you can treat comic book shopping like a pub crawl! This map is especially useful for comic book tourists and on Free Comic Book Day.

Below you’ll find our suggested path for the San Francisco Comic Book Trail. Click here for our suggested path for the East Bay Comic Book Trail (including Oakland and Berkeley). Want to see them all? Click here to see a full list of Bay Area Comic Book Stores.

Jesse Russell

Before Oakland, there was Madison, Wisconsin. In Madison, the hours that weren’t filled up by my day job were typically devoured by event planning and running the city’s popular arts and politics news site, Dane101. Some of the events I organized include an annual two-night cabaret/carnival/masquerade party called the Fire Ball Masquerade, Madison's biggest non-city sponsored Halloween party, the geek culture focused MadPubQuiz of Awesomeness, and the first Whedonesque Burlesque in the country. Having successfully reshaped the reality of Madison, Wisconsin I packed up and moved to the Bay Area in February of 2013. In addition to comics, I enjoy imbibing cocktails and beer, exploring foreign cities, consuming food of various temperatures, hearing music performed live, losing at board and card games, and getting caught in the rain.
