Our Origin Story

Gulf Coast Cosmos Comics is a vibrant and inclusive hub for comic book lovers. In late 2019, the store was founded with a deep love for comics creatives, and a strong desire to foster an environment that supports & celebrates diversity, representation, and the love of storytelling. Making history as Houston's first Black-owned comicbook store, GCC has become the city's friendly neighborhood comicbook store known for selling a wide selection of comics, graphic novels, and collectibles. GCC hosts various events; meet & greet signings, creator workshops, and discussion panels all celebrating America's fourth-largest city's diverse representation.
