We have 30 stores in the Northeast US, carrying Vinyl, Manga, Funko, Pop Culture stuff and more. MIT students John Brusger and Mike Dreese started Newbury Comics in 1978, peddling the tales of Batman, Superman and Spider-Man from Brusger’s amazing comic book collection. But it didn’t take long for the Boston-based company to broaden its horizons into music, collectibles, clothing, toys and pretty much anything that falls under the category of “pop culture.” At the dawn of the 1980’s, a box of records placed among the comics did so well that it started Newbury Comics off and running into the music business. The 7-inch punk releases Dreese brought back from England, and a burgeoning local music scene in Boston, helped the small store at 268 Newbury Street make a big impact.
