More Fun Comics

Oak Street's longest-running comic shop, stocking Magic: The Gathering singles and packs alongside vintage books and local oddities.

Tucked into the Riverbend stretch of Oak Street, More Fun Comics has been a neighborhood landmark since 1991, billing itself as the longest-running comic store in New Orleans. The shop is small and densely packed, the kind of place where you brush past a spinner rack of new releases to reach the long boxes of back issues lining the walls.

For card collectors, the appeal is the Magic: The Gathering inventory. More Fun keeps booster packs and a rotating singles stock behind the counter, and it's a convenient uptown option for players who'd rather not drive out to Metairie for a few cards. The selection is curated rather than exhaustive, but the staff know their stock and can usually track down what you're after.

Beyond cards, the store is a genuine slice of New Orleans culture. Shelves hold graphic novels, action figures, local music, and the occasional weird find that gives the shop its character. It's been written up in local history projects and remains a beloved stop for both longtime collectors and Tulane students wandering down Oak Street.

A scheduling note worth remembering: More Fun is closed Mondays, then open 11am to 7pm Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 5pm on Sundays. Weekend afternoons bring the most foot traffic, so a weekday visit means more time to dig.

If you want trading cards New Orleans collectors can grab without a highway trip, paired with one of the city's most characterful comic selections, this Oak Street staple is worth the stop.
