About Us

We are Dreamers & Make-Believers

Nestled in the vibrant Highlandtown Arts District, you’ll find Baltimore’s newest community comic shop, bookstore & coffeehouse. This area of Southeast Baltimore, though home to nearly fifty thousand residents, has been without a bookstore. In fact, there are no bookstores OR comic shops in the entire 21224 region, with the nearest comic shop a 45-minute bus ride away!
