Reads - Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Reads, our very own monthly comics reading group, returns on Wendesday 11th February 2026 from 7-9pm. This February we'll be reading and discussing a superhero classic, Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns!

If you don't already know, we've been running a comics reading group for some time now. Once a month on a Wednesday evening, the shop closes its doors and welcomes the reading group in for an evening discussion of one of our favourite comic books. Reads is free to attend and welcome to all! You simply need to turn up on the night. The reading group are a friendly bunch and always welcome new members.

This Reads is particularly special since we'll be celebrating our 40th birthday over the following weekend. The first issue of The Dark Knight Retuns miniseries released during this week 40 years ago too and it's no coincidence that we chose this as our reading pick of the month, being one of the very first comics on our shelves when we opened in 1986. Not to mention it's an astounding comic and one of the all time best superhero titles!

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 11th February, from 7pm, and hope to see some new faces! You can order a copy of The Dark Knight Returns from our website by clicking the link here.
