| - In the shadow of the looming giant that is Honest Ed's, the Beguiling quietly flourishes in its homey little space. But like Honest Ed's, when you head into the Beguiling, you're faced with so much stuff it's almost hard to know where to go first.
The Beguiling, despite its small square footage, pretty much has it all. Single issue comics, superhero comics, graphic novels, manga, specialised art books, zines, tshirts & other small merch, original art and even some DVDs. It can be a dangerous place to browse because it's just so hard to leave all those tasty options on the shelf!
Prices are reasonable, considering the range of stuff from commercial/big company books down to indie works. They've got a great online catalogue, too. Although it can seem chaotic, everything's organised pretty well - you can tend to find a lot of comics by particular authors upstairs also (Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman, Joss Whedon, etc.) - and if you're stuck, the staff know that place like the back of their hand and can help you find what you're after.
If you find yourself on Markham Street and want to treat your senses to an overload of fantastic stuff, The Beguiling is the place you want to be. Don't get lost in there!
