About Comics Shop Lambiek

Lambiek is the world's oldest comic shop, located in the center of Amsterdam. Founded in 1968 by Kees Kousemaker, it was for a long time a popular landmark on the Kerkstraat, but is since 2015 based at Koningsstraat 27, near the Nieuwmarkt.

Lambiek has a global reputation for its impressive collection of comics and art from around the world, with many genres and from many different eras. It is famous for being a hotspot for international comic artists, collectors and fans. Festive book presentations and regular book signings, as well as our weekly Friday drinks, have become legendary.

Make your trip to Amsterdam an even more special one and come by to say "hello" and browse through our unique collection where you can find books and artwork by many renowned comic artists. Of course you can also visit our webshop. We ship all over the world.

Lambiek.Net, online since 1994, brings you the Comiclopedia - a comics compendium featuring more than 14,000 comic artists from around the world. We are always looking for some worthy new artists, and we welcome your comments and updates.
