Excalibur Comics, Cards & Games

Shreveport's 39-year-old comics and card institution, mixing sports cards, Pokemon, and graded vintage comics all under one roof.

Excalibur Comics, Cards & Games has operated in Shreveport for close to four decades, long enough to have outlasted most of the trends its shelves have carried in that time. The current East 70th Street location mixes a full comics catalog, Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, manga, and graded back issues, with a real trading card business that's kept pace as the hobby has shifted from pure sports cards toward TCGs.

Sports cards remain a steady part of the case, but Pokemon and other TCG and non-sport trading cards now share equal shelf space, reflecting how the store has adapted its inventory rather than sticking to a single category. Anime and Funko merchandise, Gunpla model kits, and D&D supplies round out a store that reads less like a dedicated card shop and more like a full pop-culture general store with a serious card selection inside it.

The shop's longevity shows up in how reviewers describe it: a clean, well-organized space with a staff that's consistently praised as helpful and knowledgeable rather than just present behind the counter. It's a common enough stop in the Shreveport hobby scene that it doubles as a meeting point for the area's comics and card-collecting community.

Open Monday through Saturday with shorter Sunday hours, the shop offers comic pull-list subscriptions for regulars who don't want to miss a new issue, alongside a straightforward retail counter for card and supply purchases. Private lot parking and bike parking make it an easy stop, and the shop accepts credit cards and Apple Pay for anyone stocking up on cards, comics, and collectibles in one visit.

Four decades of operating in the same city means the owners have relationships with local collectors going back generations in some families, and it shows in a shop that treats a kid buying a first Pokemon pack the same way it treats a longtime regular hunting a specific graded slab.
