This is the local comic store. Its got everything you need, the people are helpful and knowledgeable. They have some obscure stuff, not a lot, good selection of local comics and art books. They have a small gallery in the back that can have some awesome stuff from time to time.

By far one of the best shops in WA. It is the perfect place to spend way too much time, or not enough. Always see something new and fun. Beware of the time traveling devices!! I got stuck in 1954 for a few years.. or was it months..

Im probably not the target audience, but this place is a bit dark.. I stumbled in after the neighboring bakery recommended a visit. I entered expecting classic comics like Marvel or DC, but everything looked amateur and demonic/satanic. Additionally, there wasnt much selection overall. The space was pretty barebones in terms of decor. Overall, I would say there isnt much to see here and Id recommend avoiding it altogether.

This place is an amazing find. Local comic artists work is on display and the atmosphere is euphoric. I could sit in here all day and just read comic after comic. The art they have on display for sale is beautiful. This place is the perfect example of a local business showcasing indie talent. If you appreciate art and want to support the a more indie scene, I cant think of a better place.

This little comic store is fantastic. Theyve got local artists in additions to more well know ones. They have some great zines too! They also carry tons of great pins and patches - its my number one spot for for gift pins! There are also classes! You can come here and learn to make your own comics!

A little sign caught my eye while I was in the area so I stopped in just to see what was what and was blown away! A fun & unique selection of art and goods featuring different artists. I was thrilled to find a selection of patches, because Id been looking for one for a long time and they had an amazing selection! If youre in the area its worth swinging through, great for last minute gifts for the weirdos in your life!

Push/Pull is an amazing haven of indie art goodness. It’s chock full of art, comics, zines, stickers, and prints by artists from all over the world. It’s inspiring to browse and see everything they have. It’s a visual overload. I see something new every time I go...and I don’t get to go as often as I would like. Do yourself a favor, visit this wondrous place and buy something knowing that you are supporting independent artists and local business. You won’t regret it.

I love this underground art space! There is not store like it in Seattle. Ive gone their to buy zines, prints, and art. There are always cool affordable classes. This past month I went to the 24 hour comic challenge they hosted and had a blast! Thank you Push/Pull!!

I thoroughly enjoy this gallery. Its full of outsider and underground art that you wont see in Seattles mainstream art scene. Plus it has a lot of affordable merchandise that make for great gifts (shirts, pins, comics, stickers, etc).

One of my all-time favorite comic book stores. Nothing owned by Time Warner or Disney here -- just indie and self-published comics, my favorite kind! Also has original art, stickers, prints, t-shirts, etc. A hidden gem in Seattles Ballard neighborhood.

One of my favorite places to hang out and to look for independent art and comics! I’ve also gone to Push/Pull for some amazing classes to learn painting, screen printing, inking, and more!

I’ve taken several of the art classes Push/Pull has had in the past and I’ve always learned something new and had a good time. They are a great value if you are starting out or want to try a new technique.

This place has the most delightful collection of PNW comics and artwork!Push/Pulls collection of patches and pins is the biggest (and best) Ive ever seen in a physical store, I wish this place existed when I was in HS because I would have put all of them on my clothes! (sadly have less time for altering my clothes these days but I always manage to convince myself to get at least 1 rad patch from their collection.)A perfect place to explore and learn about the variety, breadth, and creativity of Seattle artists and comic writers. At the very least, def stop in for a chat with some of the lovely artists who run and staff the org to learn more about the artist scene and hear some delightful PNW stories :) a must see on your adventures in Ballard.

I love this store. Everything is unique, and youll probably never find the local pieces anywhere else. Here, youll find alternative art, comics, keychains, prints, patches, books, and more, and the large art pieces are always rotating. Be sure to chat with the down-to-earth staff about curious pieces, too. :)

Review №41

A good 1/3 of the store had merchandise at all. What was there was overpriced considering the quality, if laugh if I wasnt cringing. If that was it, Id leave it at 3 stars, perhaps.But upon passing from the entry room (filled with a couple of quiet pinball machines) into the store, the woman behind the counter hardly acknowledged our existence. A quick glance up from her typing, and not a single word before resuming it. She continued to type as we investigated the indie/self published comics and anthologies (a couple of shelves on the back wall). I spotted small crocheted octopi that I did not investigate but presume cost upwards of $10 dollars given everything else. A crochet project that I could do myself. It looked about a similar quality, too.The only things I seriously considered purchasing were some well designed tshirts and a card (that, even if was printed with wood block or something, was NOT worth $8).There are a couple of pieces featuring Nic Cage with the body of an elf, too. I guess there is that (but they are $200 each, of course)
