Canada's oddest and award-winning comic book stores. With locations in Fredericton, Halifax and Dartmouth, Strange Adventures has been bringing you the best in comics since 1992!
we try to post new flips every day or so – let us know if you have any requests!
we’re adding more back-issues from the mines of the back room and new-to-us collections at a pretty good pace! Excavations in the #nexusofallrealities continue with star-studded dreams of public access one day….but that’s a story for another day.
Let’s all try to read more comics, eh?
and for no reason, a photo I bought at San Diego Comic-con in 1999 from the guy who played the Gorn.
Jeff, the land shark: Superstar #5 features a cover by Maritime artist, Danica Brine!
MOJO’S FINAL SHOW(DOWN)! Keepers of Jeff and Ken – Gwenpool, Kate Bishop and other Marvel heroes – show up to rescue everyone’s favourite land shark from Mojo’s clutches! But what will become of the Jeff Coast Avengers? And what if Mojo wants to keep them ALL in Mojoworld FOR GOOD? Don’t miss the climactic conclusion! on sale Nov. 11th, 2026 at local comic stores all over!
We also have copies of Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor #1 featuring a cover by Danica!
Danica is a freelance illustrator/comic artist whose first published work was on children’s books for a francophone book publisher. Danica has also worked on cover illustrations at Image Comics, Titan and other independent comic publishers. In addition, Danica’s work can be found on creator-owned graphic novel Chef’s Kiss at Oni Press and Conan the Barbarian at Titan Comics.
Some of her accolades include: Winner of the Alex-YALSA award (2023) and nominee for Eisner and GLAAD awards(2023).
You can follow her updates at artbycanucks.com along with work by another wonderful illustrator, Nick Bradshaw!

Excavations continue in the “nexus of all realities” that is the storage room at the store. More finds of rare books, oddball comics, and the occasional toy or lightsabre! Follow along on our instagram feed for the most up-to-date finds.
We have a box packed full of posters from the past few years that are in need of wall space in your place! Does your space need some star-spanning heroes or villains? Take a moment to peruse the box and take a few home!
The Atlantic International Film Festival is happening in Halifax on Sept. 16-23 and there’s tons of films that might pique your interest. One that we noticed was “Captain Newfoundland” – a documentary about the NTV media mogul, Geoff Stirling, and his comic book creation, Captain Newfoundland! It screens this Thursday at 6:30PM, Park Lane Cinemas. Tickets and info are available here.
Another one that caught our eye was “The Bookshop That Never Sleeps”, a short film about the Lunenburg bookshop owned by Christopher Webb and how the store opens “only after sundown, offering a quietly quirky haven for night owls, wanderers, and those drawn to the light.” Get tickets here.
and the Dartmouth Sidekick store will be continuing its mad Dollar Daze sale for the rest of September!
The Dartmouth Comic Arts Festival is on this weekend!
