Newbury Comics - Boston-founded music retailer

Newbury Comics was founded in Boston in 1978 and grew from a single Newbury Street shop into a regional retail chain specializing in music, comics, and pop-culture merchandise. The company's origins on Newbury Street are part of Boston's late-20th-century music-retail history, and Newbury Comics became known for supporting local music scenes and independent releases. The brand remains identified with Boston's music-commerce landscape.
