Among my earliest childhood memories, there's one that always comes back with a special kind of tenderness: the Strange comics my parents would bring me during my stays in the hospital, when I was barely four years old. That’s where it all began.
This passion for comic books has never left me — on the contrary, it’s been with me every step of the way.
One of my cousins used to read me Spider-Man stories before bedtime.
My friends would gift me comics for my birthdays — Gaston Lagaffe, La Jungle en Folie, Guillaume Tell, Spirou, Boule et Bill, the Smurfs...
I’d sometimes resell those gifts just to buy even more issues at secondhand bookshops.
I met some of my best friends thanks to this shared love of comics.
I even launched a fanzine and wrote a few scripts of my own.
Naturally, I eventually became a bookseller.
And today, all of that has led to the creation of Nostalgeek.
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to hunt through flea markets, garage sales, and of course, internet listings — collecting countless items tied to the world of comics and pop culture in general.
Sometimes, with a bit of luck (and a lot of nostalgia), I even managed to find the very same toys I had as a child.
It’s this simple joy, this brief trip back to childhood, that I wanted to share with you through this site.
From our online store based in Geneva, you might rediscover a cult item from your youth, complete a collection, or simply treat yourself to something cool at a fair price.
Everything here is offered with passion, good vibes, and that special spark that comes from doing what you truly love.
